Welcome to PGL ClueshnaPoke, probably one of the biggest events we get to see
at the start of the season here for CounterStrike, and I am so excited.
My name is Sam, I'm going to be keeping you company, and a big happy Valentine's day
it is the day of love.
I can't think of a bit away to start this day by watching the game that you love here.
I saw a post from everyone's favorite train record side where he asked about the fact that
how would you feel if your players didn't want to practice on Valentine's Day?
And I was like, I mean, I would completely understand they're going to be wanting to watch
clues. And they're going to want to watch Maui and dust on the desk here. Yeah, bright and early
paladians. How's your time being so far on today? The 14th of February? Fantastic. It's only
going to get better from here on out. Obviously we have the tournament starting for Valentine's,
I've got a couple's massage coming up later, so I love that.
Now, it's gonna be a fantastic talk.
I can't think of a better way to bond with my co-analyst than by being feed away as we're being
rubbed in oil.
This seems like a good talk.
You look the oil one.
That's literally my wood at you.
And just like that, there are visuals in my head.
I will never be able to burp.
You open pan to us, box on that one.
Okay, well, I mean, seen as we're playing into this a little bit,
who is your valentine?
When you take a look at the list of teams that are going to be here,
inclusion. We've got all the big guys playing. Who is your valentine?
My valentine is Rebecca, the love of my life.
But if you want me to really like the team, Sam, I feel like there is a lot of them
that I kind of have a cautious optimism for. I actually really like what we saw from
Furia at Crackout in what was a previous season that was marred by their
quarter-final exit there at Budapest. I feel like they have had a great bounce back
already in the season, showing that they could go toe to toe with the world's best
in vitality.
Matt, you're Valentine's also here, Tracy, my fiancee for many years actually watching.
So, if you get to announce this, I got to announce fine to do, okay?
But look, if I'm going to pick a team, this is going to be polarizing.
I can already see people about to light up their keyboards when I say this one, but
everyone deserves love, right?
I think we can all agree.
Maybe there's some exceptions.
But for most part, for the most part, yeah, I mean, for the most part though, right?
So, how can we need some love right now?
They need some love right now because things are not going according to plan.
They've loaded up with a bunch of super star talent.
They do have some really great players and great people on that team.
And they have shown that they are capable of going toe to toe at some of the best
in having deeper runs and being a top five ranked team.
But they cannot put trophies in the cabinet since Boocores last year when Dexter was
still on the team.
And I would just be nice to see them finally break through because the scene only gets
more interesting.
The more title contenders you have available to you.
I'm just going to live with the fact that I've always been attracted to red flags.
My valentine is phase.
I believe that cruise is an opportunity for phase to prove to us that we will be
incredibly wrong about work.
That Jacob really can be in the top 20 just like Oregon said.
That's where I'm sitting.
That's a bold stance.
You know, I will give you that one.
Maybe you could be a co-host on a certain show that you're a part of,
a part of you think of certain types of takes a face get if it even to into the
two two game I'm going to be a little bit surprised I went through the bracket
and I'm not really liking their chances to make the playoffs or even really have a
good event here whatsoever, but I mean you can still love them there's a lot of
exciting okay when it comes to entertainment there's very few teams that are
better than phase I'll give them that.
are they are content, but the vibes are not right now, the vibes are not great.
I would have just laughed hysterically at me when I said that and told me to shut up.
You're just the host. You should definitely not have an opinion. And now you've just
precise. You guys were nice about it. So we'll go with it. Obviously, the big thing
here is the winnings. This is what it's all to play for. That's why all the teams have
descended here into Romania. Because Dan, that is a six year amount of money to put
in your back pocket. And of course, winnings also play into VRS. Something I still don't
understand, I've been trying dust, I can't figure it out. But I know that this tournament
has a big play in the VRAS rankings as well. So it's a really, it's a really important
one for all of these teams we're seeing. Yeah, I mean, this is the biggest non major for PGL,
you know, in the last couple of years, almost all the top teams are here,
they're only one missing, it's spirit. And as you said, they're battling for a huge chunk of change,
which is not only great for their wats, but as you kind of indicated, it's great for your VRAS
ranking, you know, it helps you with your seating and helps you skip a stage potentially depending
on where you're at in the ranking, especially some of these lower end teams that are at this
tournament, a big result here could help propel them to skip stage one of the major or something
along those lines. So definitely, you know, being in a very important part of the calendar,
it's the second really true big elite event of the year, and yeah, a lot of photographs.
And a really cool format, Maui, which we're about to see on our screen as well. That's Swiss
bracket. I'm a fan of how this plays out. And of course, going into the play also as well,
the third place to Sada, there's just a lot of good counter strike that you get to see.
Personally, I just love when teams have an opportunity to really show what they're made of against teams that are supposed to be at their level of opposition.
The fact that you're going to give teams three lives in this Swiss-stage format, and so really, you can definitely tell by the end of it all.
Who was the worst team here? Who were the bombs? And who were the teams that actually just breeze on through?
Of course, I also love the fact that the playoffs go into an 18 single elimination bracket.
And I feel like that is the pinnacle of how you should really be running tournaments.
In my opinion, always skipping stages to the semi finals or being put into the quarter
finals is a little bit wonky.
And I hate the idea that one team gets a day warm up in the arena over another.
So I always really love the PGL 18 quarter final format.
Let's just call it.
It's the voted format.
It is the best format and kind of strike it's better than the major.
There's no best of ones involved.
So foul step it up.
There we go.
All right.
That's it.
Everything that needs to be said.
It's a base to five grand final as well.
you get to look forward to for the next few days. This is where you need to be
locked in. I know the boys we're talking about the levels of their lives and that's
really exciting for me or you need to do this morning is roll over or call your
girlfriend your wife, your husband, your boyfriend, and let them know that you're
busy for the next two weeks in Bell and Sun's Day has been just for you.
We're gonna watch all the car distract. It's coming up. And let's take a look at
what's coming up today. If you don't have any romantic interests, don't worry.
We got you covered. Falcons, Mongols. This is all happening over on the B
stream, you can watch out, you do have two streams running, you can currently, and then
of course, what you're watching right now, what you get to check out is the matches for
today, and we got all the big teams playing like I said at the beginning. You get to
see vitality, you get to see theory, and this is what's going to be on your screens,
matters as well. They're all in the mix.
Where do you even start? Where do you stop? I mean, if you're not actually just keeping
this on your TV or your monitor all day, in fact, for the Southeast Asian fans,
on your mobile phone. Okay, everybody is going to have a device out to watch all of this
tournament all the way through. And if you don't, then you don't know Counter Strike.
Fair enough. Now we said, where do you start? That's how you where we stop.
Not the versus straw list. What a fun little game to get us kickstarted dust.
And both of these teams for me in an interesting position. You've got one that I would argue
it looks like it's kind of starting to fall down and the other one that looks like it's a little
bit on the rise. What do you think of this matchup? Yeah, I think you're your nail
So I think you're referring to Nabi,
kind of in that first bit that you were talking about,
where it was the team that wasn't interesting
in the second season of last year.
You know, they want a smaller tournament.
They had a second place finish,
another pretty sizable tournament,
a fantastic major on at Budapest,
a beating Furia, who were for many people,
the favorites to win that major.
At the day, they had just one off on a streak
when they got a bunch of titles,
and so they really kind of punched above their lay.
I think for a lot of people,
but I think crack hours a bit of a reality check
that yes, this is the late team that,
while they have a great system,
have a lot of the ability to maybe be better than some of their parts, but they are
lacking in some areas and they still aren't quite a true tournament contenter at this
level of tournament where you have all the big names available, but still always a fun
team to watch. And you just kind of wonder, you know, have they hit a ceiling or can they still
have some of these guys develop a little bit? I have a pretty blind amount of faith when it comes
to Navi. I see it a LexiB and BladeLead project and I just simply have to give it all of the time
that it needs until they think that it's run its course, even though wonderful didn't
have a great crackout, which probably hamstrung the team in terms of putting together decent
CT sides.
I just feel like once the system is clicking, they really can go toe to toe with the best
in the world.
And I feel like the Budapest Quarter Final is the great example of how it doesn't matter what
your form is.
It doesn't matter how good you've looked in the last two, three months, if there is a
targeted game plan that Navi can look at regarding how you want to run your defense
they can pick it apart. And so that always makes them an exciting team and even in
some ways more of a dark course to go deep at a tournament like this.
Do you think that they lack consistent firepower to allow them to break Dillini
go or talk to talk with the best of them all?
Yeah, I mean I feel like the fact that wonderful was really kind of ascending to the
star level that not need him to be is where they look exciting at the end of last year,
but then he regress. And so the fact that you can't point at one guy and say, this guy is
guaranteed top 10 player for them. This year makes me look to the future. When I'm looking
at this Navi team, I feel like a lot of their ceiling is going to be held within what Macauzae's
able to do in terms of elevating his individual play because he was a little rough around the edge.
just sometimes he would be a little bit too aggressive in situations when he first joined
the roster.
But I feel like he's tempered some of that aggression.
Now we understand a bit more of when he needs to pick his spots.
And so I'm not sure if I'm seeing every game map to map popping off the page like he's
just found that consistency all the way through.
But on average, I would say that I would guess that he's going to have a better game more
times now than he did when he first joined the roster.
Yeah, I think we look at his overall number.
There is, you know, some desire for more.
You know, right, I mean, especially when some of the other
quote unquote rookies of last year kind of out shine him.
I mean, I mean, I've put Maladoy's side the rookie year
who was just a phenom, but you know, he is okay, your PR.
Like these guys were kind of overshadowing Macauza
who was in this similar position, you know,
strives to go up to tier one.
And again, the overall output hasn't been there,
but I will say he's at least gotten better in his main role,
which is creating openings.
You know, I think last year,
they got really struggling to have any opening success
on the T side to get entries to create space for its team.
But at Crackow, he actually did step up finally
and had those big openings.
Again, his overall numbers, what we bought the page from Crackow,
but the fact that he was able to have really good
entry stats, definitely did help the team
at least have some opportunity to access.
Is lots of question marks around this Navi roster?
And there's also lots of question marks around the next
roster. We're going to take a look at a strawless,
growing, international.
I'm going to say it when they announced,
it's actually kind of like what we're seeing.
I don't think that this was a bad news from them.
I actually think it was probably the only new they could make.
Well, the negative aspect of this move is that they are disowning the full five man
Danish lineup, which people regarded it so highly in the country.
But in reality, this is a better lineup.
I would say that Ryu is a clear upgrade over Majis.
Fosie is a direct upgrade over device, even though that night shocks some people if
they're just tuning in on an astrology for the first time in a while.
This guy looks like he's really ready to go head to head with some of the best
offers in the world and find openers that they so desperately needed last time.
So there's a lot of reasons for me to be much more excited about this team than in the previous
season where it was just so obvious that a lot of them were on cruise control, not just
talking calm cruise control, but I mean, they were just kind of going with the flow.
You kind of expect them to be around the tenth best in the world and ever really punching
up into some deep placement at a tournament where as this roster on the other hand,
you catch them in a good form streak and they really have an opportunity to make a playoff
for a third year. Yeah, I'm really excited for Fruity. I mean, this is a guy who I think was
stuck in a really tough place on what has been the one-spunked organizations in CS,
which is law card, so to see him be able to escape that tragedy and actually be on a team
that allows him to play at the tier one level consistently. The really show, we'll talk
of player he actually is and I think he's definitely one that's great, but the rifle in
core is also what's going to be most important. You know, when we look at Yavvy, fantastic
crack-up performance overall horrendous 2025. So we need to see what's version of himself is going
going to go on throughout the course of this year.
But then Ryu, you know, Mario already kind of hit on him,
but I went hit on him more.
This is a guy that showed a lot of promise
when he was my mom until he last year.
Like when he was playing some most smaller land events
on that team, he looked sharp.
He looked like like I, who deserved the chance
like this one.
And, you know, Ryu certainly played very well at Crap Cow
in my opinion, you know, more of like an anchor, more
of like an extremity player.
So he's not super flashy, but honestly,
Mario, what I was most impressed by with him was even when he is
in like those put on quote, like traditional darker positions,
But I can create openings.
I can't lead a V-tiles hit on butts too.
He'll get in the mix on some of these other things
on overpass, for example.
And it actually takes some entries at times
and he'll look really sharp at crack-out.
He's limiting and I'd actually
is paying off for a straw as because sometimes
him on one side or yabby on the other.
I mean, they've got these guys who are willing
to just find openings.
If they feel like there's not enough utility being used
in their faces, they'll take a 1v1 dual on a bomb site
just because they think that there's an opportunity.
And that's kind of stuff is really exciting.
I would like in Ryu right now, probably to somebody like heavy god actually.
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
One of those underrated positions, what we used to see more as a support role,
but he's just getting so much mileage out of his getting so much more than you would expect.
So I'm really excited about it.
And I'll even say, I feel like I think heavy god makes better decisions overall.
But I feel like Ryu mechanically, the student is incredibly sharp at the aim and correction between targets is just so ridiculous.
So he's defending a bomb site, even if there's all this utility flying around to him.
So frequently, he gets the second kill just because he instable it's the second guy that
he sees.
There is a bigger picture sort of conversation that has to happen around a starlice.
And it is the legacy of what a starlice is.
The legacy that this organization has.
They are a organization and a name that you presume would be aspiring to lift trophies.
Is this line-up?
The list of players that lift trophies, or are we going to start seeing a starlice sitting
more in the sort of game allegiance space of every so often you'll see them
on that but they never really didn't be in play of contingent. I think there is a
real estate chance that it straps will be a team that could at least get
kind of towards the top eight of the world rankings as far as breaking into the
top five I don't see it you know not yet at least you know again I think we
saw some promising things that every you enthusiast crackout I think that's
you know hook see still as a leader that has value there are definitely some
and pieces that are about it,
it's not enough, it's quite enough
to contend for titles or be in that top-of-all ranking status.
Just being realistic about it,
the thing that is, to me,
capping a straw is, unfortunately,
is probably the guy that we were singing
the most praises about in the last year and a half
with the team.
I look at a guy like Stair, where every single season,
he has practically the same rating.
If you look at his first six months with a straws,
he had something around a 1.07,
you look at his next six months after he changed his thoughts,
practically the same rating.
But now he has all of the star positions,
and he still has that same rating.
And that's not really what you're looking for
for a guy that gets to be in the head to head,
versus the best rifleers in the world.
Win dogs, charging at you.
Do I really want stare to be that first line of defense?
Not exactly.
So he needs to find a way to jump up and form,
and maybe even be a little bit more selfish,
because I can still recognize in the mid rounds.
He's being a great team player.
He's being this guy that'll know how he needs to entry first
so that his teammates can trade off with him,
But in some ways, I actually wish he was a little bit more selfish
because it doesn't always feel like he's demanding the resources
that his position should be commanding.
I agree 100%.
Now, the biggest thing for me is the T-Sides aren't there for me.
He plays with aggressive life conditions
where you either want him to be able to create an entry
or trade off the back of hooks here,
something along those lines.
But they're kind of relying more on Yabby
and redefine openings with them lately.
But I don't think stairs had that entry success
that other star entries had had.
And so I think you're spot on on that call.
It's a good idea what the map video is going to be.
Obviously, a little bit difficult for us
We know a lot of what we can expect from Navi, but this is Charlotte's line.
I'm still kind of, we don't really know what their map will look like.
But I will say the one that really hurts.
I mean, as VTIL right away is they've looked so damn good on overpass and it's been
clearly their pocket pick map throughout crackout, and they are not going to get the
play it in this.
It is a permaband for Navi.
So the fact that, like you said, you're limited on what knowledge is out there, but you
do know that when you have this one thing that you can rely upon it to not be able to utilize
it in the series, it's definitely going to force a strouse to kind of show us more elsewhere.
I feel like they go with Nuke, it's the other thing that I've been seeing them go
for on picks and yeah, okay. So they do bust that one out on the other hand
for Navi. I mean, it's just been the story of them for the last two years.
They go with Mirage practically every single time that they see it in the pool.
I feel like ancient could be the Decider for this series.
And so I would expect that the the vetoes go to play that one out as the third map
here. But that's that I feel like that's already kind of talked about the main issue
with going into this series when you're strong.
you lose your favorite map,
no, no, there are no slouchers on that one in general,
and it doesn't like the Decider Will in fact be ancient, yeah.
The one thing I'm worried about with Nuke though,
as that is gonna be the first map we're gonna be heading into,
is that, and obviously, the loss to our last 8 out of 11
games on Nuke.
They have not looked good results wise on Nuke.
I think they have in the past been able to show some good songs
on, but there was some time ago.
If you're looking at more recent,
you know, you look at kind of the last three months of last year
coming into this year, it hasn't been there for them
in the same way.
And it's definitely something that, you know,
I think our straws were smart to pick into this,
as a potential punch.
I think they maybe they could see something there,
some weakness and obviously, new clearly.
The two IGLs, when you put them hits ahead,
I mean, I would, I suppose, Malia, you've already said
that you're in a Lexipe, you've even been
hardest to see cool in comparison.
I still feel like Huxie is actually a really solid IGL,
but it's just that I'm not sure if the brain trusts,
if I go blade in the Lexipe versus rugged in Huxie,
I'm going to be ever siding with Pokesy and Ruga.
Even though we've already pinned them as being a team that could probably
reach, say, the playoffs of this event.
Nobby team is kind of one that is looking to play spoiler once you reach
those playoffs.
So a lot of that's off of the back of the Lexi being able to in the middle of
a half change up if it often says and working, where it hooks you on the
other hand.
Sometimes it feels like they get a little bit tunnel visioned on a certain
idea or way they want to play.
But I've seen good t-sides from Pokesy.
not actually even trying to downplay what he's provided for the CM on overpass on
new plate. They've been a lot of great stretches where he's able to come up with
solutions on the fly. But sometimes if you like, it's also do the extremity player. Sometimes
the lurkers just find answers. And then he knows at least how to mid-round off of those
kinds of picks even if it ends in a four before.
Yeah, I think another key matchup you always have to watch out for on new is going to be the
guys we were kind of already talking about a little bit. You know, that is stare and that is
going to be Macasia on the other side. You know, these are your guys that are your front
runners in a very important show in the math in the yard. And they're going to be
clashing, Tom and Tom again throughout this game. And I think what value comes out of that
dual is probably going to determine a lot of how this game shapes as well as you know,
this is another big test for Fuzzi. He passed a lot of test for me in crack, I want the
WP against some elite level teams, but this is another squad where you're up against the
guy and wonderful who's a veteran. You know, he's a guy that obviously had a fantastic
Budapest major, obviously inverse at crack, but you feel like he's going to eventually
average somewhere in the middle. And it's still a worthy adversary for you know,
losing a test and still on its against as well. But this matchup right here on your
screen, I think it's going to take the face of this game.
Is it an, can you say that it's quite an evenly paid matchup? Yeah, or is
Navi foster paria? Well, it feels like we're getting a strolls on the rise right now
where as Navi aren't able to build off of the momentum they were carrying into the winter
break. So this might be the perfect time for a team like a strolls to catch a big win
here to take down a knobb team that seems to be reeling off of being unable to find the
form that gave them the success they had at the tail end of last year.
So I think we're reading, meeting right in the middle here.
And so this game is a bit more of a claim flip than I would have said two months ago.
I mean, I think knobb are a little bit more battle tested.
Obviously, you know, yeah, McCoyes still has a lot of, you know, a question marks
from him because he really didn't have any land experience at a top level until he played
Cologne when he stepped onto this knobb team in the second season of last year, whereas with
three you and Fuzzi, you know, they're still very young in their careers much more so
removed from being at this level. So, you know, yes, you like Navi, as the favorite
just due to the veteran chip that's on that team, they have more of us together as a full
five and the fact that it's proud. When you're cycling in two brand new players and
really you're only, you know, I guess data you have is like what you had in practice
in the last season and what you saw at Crackhow. It's a little bit harder to know how
it's going to go, but I'm excited for their new players to prove themselves with this event.
This is going to be a really exciting match.
I've been in a great way to start PGL Cluesch.
For me, if we take a look at the tournament overall,
though, it must be going through the back of Navi's mind,
a starless as mine.
This is the first hurdle, but holy hell, you've got vitality.
You've got here.
You've got all of these big teams that you're going to have to get through
if you want to find yourself in playoff.
So it really is a true test for any team here
as to where they currently stand in the world ranking.
It's also a thing with Navi,
is that you elected not to make a change there in this all season. And I think you could have
easily had the debate that they should have. They should have maybe considered making a change.
Who would you have changed? That's the interesting question. I think having a more
powerful entry force could have been huge for them. And I don't know if that is, you know,
replacing the cause, every placing Ema, you know, I think you could go a couple of different,
you know, you know, you can replace Ema when you're going a Romanian. Yeah, boy.
You got to let him play this one and close with him. Yeah, I'll just think we're on your last time.
I'm just taking long term.
To me, Navi just feels like an upgraded version of 3D Max, where it's like they are constantly
a team that can be just outside the classroom, be make a class appearance here and there.
They do have the tactics and the strategic structure to be a very fundamentally sound
team, but they just don't have enough overall firepower to both toe to toe with the
likes of the vitality, with the likes of a falcons or some of these mouse sports who
who are fantastic in those regard for having a lot of what we should be to talent, they
And it's not how that same level.
And I think that that is going to trade a ceiling, no matter how well you approach the
game, you do start to shoot people in the head.
Enough time to get victories.
Simply put, the elite teams right now all have their xiwu, mola doi, monasi, what
have dog on could have you, whereas you're pointed navi and you know that it has to be this
team effort.
Like back when they were the team of the year in 2024, there was really no superstar
on the team.
Jayle was their highest rank player on HLTV, but nobody's looking to him to just hard carry
them through series. It was because they were outbraining their opponents, and that's what
can get them so far, but now that some of those elite teams have caught up to CS2 mechanics
and the meta teams like Vitality and Fury who are really on the ball when it comes to tactics,
you need somebody to step up. And that's why I actually, I would pin wonderful towards the
tail end of last year. I thought he was going to make the leap. And so if he's able to do that
that a clue, then you finally have a serious win condition because reminder when they played
vitality at Budapest, wonderful was the best player in that series.
So he has shown the potential before, but it's just not day to day.
You're not getting that every single series that he loads up into.
Consistency is lacking in Navi.
Astralis is on the rise.
We'll find out how this match up goes down.
We are kick-starting a PGL clue.
Scornian, London is ready to take you in.
game. Yeah, thank you, Sam. Thank you, gentlemen. Excellent little pre game there.
Good back, fourth, Mo and I think this one's got upset written all over it. I think that
the desk put it very aptly. This is kind of the rise of the Charlest at the moment. And
you're looking at an army that they've got a solid head to head over top of. And the chance to
just kind of shine out of the gate here in conclusion. Yeah, that's one thing I actually, I think was
missed a little bit. It's three wins for a straw. It's not the same as Strollus, but it was
is now he pointed out it's probably a better straw. I said, I think that we look at you know a
straw is his last attempt to try to feel this roster full Danish having mages, having
device on the roster and going away from that because they just feel like there are no more
options. Well, they come in with Fuzzi, they come in with Rauh and at Crackout they really
of breast. So can they do it again with the new
quick and kicking off on the T-side.
Hope see, drop it over top.
A lot of rumblings here, you know, are ready to sit inside of the smoke and wait this out. Pressure inside of the
A-play, no other defenders really to stop it.
Sure, put a presence over towards heaven, but because that mallet's off, no peak into the
bomb site. And we've gotten a strollous bomb down 4v4.
Very fast. We've got this big group up as well inside of Heaven already. So clear, I'd be up for the
retake with the shots I'm going to get hit from the retake itself. It's a good hold immediately and then
bit start storming the lobby door swing makes this one a little bit awkward and wonderful is going to
pick up a kill in the meantime, but reused on it. A little tap out of the pond to try to add some
late pressure for the clutch. Ooh, squeaky swing just a half second after wonderful was ready and
And that bomb plant's going to, a straw is a pistol round with you really love to see a quick bomb plant.
You love to see the door games there by stare.
Everything's pretty perfect in terms of how fast they went and how coordinated they loved all the way to the end.
So, sort of pressure back here on Navi.
We're looking for a fast start.
Lucas also, it kind of has the makings of what could be the worst map of the day corner because this is not a good map for Navi right now.
It's a terrible map for Astralists right now and at Crackout, it was the maps
They just the Astralists got the zero T round so they're already passed that
And we call that progress around here. Yeah, I
They're basically there the team right now that are like if we don't win a T pistol
We're not beating our own new stats. So they're already at least done that it just helps out so much for them in this first half
I'm going to get this active Navi move into the trophy room, but just as active on the
other end of all this, for you to take a look in through heaven.
So the lobby push moves forward from the A side as well,
and I'll be taking space as they know that backline's under threat.
A lot of posturing going on, but no triggers just yet as we hit 45 seconds.
So, smooth, a few very small timeings here for Jabi from above.
Obviously wonderful sitting here.
Oh, there it is.
Eagle picks it off.
Fusy finds the return wonderful through the smoke-spair trunks.
Oh, what that's just two kills straight up through smoke.
Wonderful with perfect timing for players survive,
and Navi take this one right back.
We're looking at wonderful Malabi staring up to the T-Roof.
And clearly he was waiting for any small peek.
Taking out the Aguilar one peek dead.
I think you're fraginating to I heard nothing.
That's nasty. Just spamming away on smoke.
Well then, happy.
Now a straw is with this economy sweating bullets, have to buy in scouting vehicles across
the board.
Ooh, you said one round was better than what they were able to pull off back and crack out.
But that one I feel bad about, because I was still recoverable if not for this smoke shot.
Sure.
But now it doesn't matter.
Oh, okay.
All right.
This is what we're doing.
This hour started.
We got the example of side-spokes block a lint.
I was something brought up on the desk as well, that reo can come through and go forward and get entry sometimes.
So, this is just a great move here for Navi.
For EMA to come and reclear outside as soon as he feels like it's a bluff.
Not there's not actually pressure.
It's kind of the winning move.
You would think for Navi in this spot.
I'm going to go ahead and reinforce the ramp there.
there, adequately stacked up stairs. The only one thing is that they're down to four.
So no matter how you flip it, they're always going to be a little bit more insecure.
The T's have the advantage of being able to go for a pack of play and get a lucky couple of entries
back to back. Now, if you have to think about that,
and an interesting call to actually expand back outside. I mean, this might be a good read on what
Now, he would normally do.
It's kind of lovely to see.
It's actually just in time.
It's like just in time for this to still make sense.
Guns pick up in the process.
Smoke grenade.
That's the leal.
Let's see what it can do.
Let's get left behind.
For only that extra second.
Wonderful.
Finding another clean kill.
Questions about the individual level of knobby coming into this game.
The next one, wonderful, is picking up easy shots from the desert eagle to the
hold from heaven to now converting that forest by for the two one lead.
Mentally, if you're a strawist, you just have to look at your pistol as just like a
round on the board, not a pistol with a following loss because I think they might not
expect to get a huge T-side in general, but around is around essentially so an
And that's for Navi, well, he's got to be feeling great.
And it's always fun with him, but because last year, you know, we saw him, you know, getting
great, you get it by the crowd, and we saw how much he was involved here on four, I think
Navi weren't playing at a, they skipped the event, but he still came with his grave now.
That was a chance for him on stage.
That's a great idea.
3 kills always get to find the block.
Entry from Hook suit.
But again, necklock entries, all that a shawl is get to play from.
So from the pistol victory, the high high to kick this off to what feels like a real
low now.
They've got no footing in the door over the course of the last two rounds.
The bomb plant over the last three, it is four survivors in every single CT round as
well.
And so, as both well, for the kick off for the defense.
Yeah, that's an intangible of a moment. I'll be having grass with that right now, so let's see here
Look at the calls going to be
Until these are a little lower than they like, so now, you should expect them to move a bit more quickly
I want to take that sense for a framer button, if I fry it that's fine. That's interesting. I got bit down really quickly
The before is connection could come in the turnpike
Flash out in Rio's taken this pretty quick space.
Yeah, you see the call out, right?
Doesn't even clear Rob's.
Yeah, just knows they're open.
They've just immediately having to fall back.
There's a lot of space that's been taken.
That's actually pretty impressive if you're for a stroll.
Sometimes you're like a second or two just a bit further behind those utilities.
But not this time.
But with the timing.
Oh, that shot.
See you later.
Wonderful.
I'm not the easiest kill there for a bit off the empty nine,
but it gets us the instant recovery.
We can follow though.
Oh, that's awkward.
I'll put the corner when it's allowed to dislodge himself back into the bomb site.
So he'll escape, hooks his wrath for the time being.
Hooks he brings teammates back over, they group up slightly outside of this, a site trying
to tether off of stair.
He takes a look up towards heaven, doesn't see it.
Eman, eyes on this main play.
As you told, he's keep trickling into the right position, because they find spruzzy in
the process, and then Jackie's going to strike one sound for fun.
Unlike he's got a good job of trying to dodge this threat, but eventually it's found out
off of the 23 here for BIT and he spots it all the bodies.
He's going to cover straight from stair and that's squeezed that
Astralis have been trying to play with round after round comes to fruition in the fifth.
That's pretty lovely, man. I mean, I like the
the complexion of the call because they have low utility.
They get all the map control they can for the least amount of grenades.
They throw the early molly down the ramp, get bits of Rotate and then call it out by
a sneaky end around.
Now if you don't expect them to even try this, they come into try to
But they don't think that it's all the back-side push because it didn't throw any lurks
though. They didn't double flash it. They just kind of made feel like they got the rotation out and they're going to reset
But as far as had plans to move forward, and they did that really well.
Looking to maybe stifle the amount of space the BT is available to take and that shop
But what a wonderful dude exactly what they needed.
Looks he tries to spam back over and now look at his scramble over towards the secret spacing.
But, I'm sorry to hear you.
Wait, how did that miss? That looked so good, but that's a huge kick-up variety.
Dude, the back and forth between thinking about secret to then just diding back behind red.
I thought for a certain that a straw was we're going to get caught in that moment, but a beautiful shot out of a rio.
And it's going to take it back under pressure with that wonderful op that somehow devolate disappears.
It's felt like a round where a straw is kind of caught off.
But sometimes, folksy, in the mess of it all, comes out with the right variation.
So now this move back into lobby was never strong and this time it's going to just give
folksy an easy run into the bombsite because they won't try to collect deep off the
pot, dealt back.
And so we've got to clutch on our hands on 38 HP.
This one B2 damn near done.
But Ry is gonna try to pay it out and it's not playing this one fast. He's assuming that Ry who knows exactly where he is. Ry is trying to beat up some movement
Wow, he pulled that off. He ran quickly to Ward's hut. It was confused exactly. What he had tried to do
And that was that was excellent. I'm always going through the design there. Right stomping like that
Thinking what he had sprinted into the commitment at the back of the site. Yeah, he must have just kind of missed right exact
Which direction it was it was going but were you baited that out for her?
Well then
I mean look at the HP it had to be a headshot it had to be a bait and that is just that's his
Cordite you on display like you see moments from rye you and there's even small ones like when he went to clear ran-plast round
Not assuming there was a guy in the corner just going off of what he believed was the right information and even though he's not an entry
This is something that's really important for four entries is that you don't pick and clear every single spot
Anyone can do that you've got to pick like two or three positions. You're pretty sure they're in and then hope you're there
There and you have lots of confidence in those
clears
So
Lots of lots of good moments for Ryan you man at the beginning and ends of rounds
I'll test it to Navi's defense now.
Money all on the line.
You can try to deal with that potential threat beyond these smokes, variation in the
This smoke's played here by the attackers.
Strauss go through this simple straight wall.
We see McCaw's a moving around on the other side of it.
One down into secret, that looming threat is going to pull E-Man down stairs.
They're really punishing Navi for not protecting outside a little bit more.
This is already over, he's got to have Lexi Stoff this time, he's done an over HP.
Look at a sea of flames that Alexi has to play behind, single points of health all he
had to hold with, that's never going to happen.
And so the five versus three piece together meticulously off that timing in through
main stairs ready to even further punish.
It's a round-winning entry out of Fuxi, and one stack coming into the game we got out of
production was that Huxie's KD for the last three months on this map is like 0.55.
So that also contributes to the problems of the Strauss, even though they keep wanting
to play Nuke, how much they're struggling on it.
It's a tail as old as time with Huxie, where you know, we even look at this game and you
see excellent calls.
You see great organization on T-Side, you see that he's activating another offer for you
you know, would have not really heard about otherwise.
And yeah, there's still, you know, it's individual heaviness if I could put it like that.
That sort of, get sometimes, hold the team back.
But if that's something that's different in this game,
well, then they have everything else.
The timing of all this also just felt pristine out of a shawl is... it's individual
weight.
Is that the PC way to say it?
Yeah, sure.
It's got some heft.
I'll quick back to it again, just making the most of this outer play.
Once again, multiple bodies, you know, they kind of felt like, we'll know that one
round they tried to cross over and then scrambled back that uncertainty that's been kind
of in their minds about taking it to secret.
Well, with, again, this continuation of their success, it's time they actually do decide
to test downstairs, but curiously, this is when we've got an M for thrown over towards
the staircase in EMA's hands, coupled with Macauze's smoke primed, he thrown in front of it,
but it's good procedures. Again, the utility here well placed out of a strawless, and
then they will call it quits once more.
And they could have a double spot downstairs and not see anything, and Macauze can stay here
jumping, but it doesn't benefit Navi to have two down here on less this ends up being
a lower play. They're not the easiest rotations upstairs, and so they've got to make moves
It's nice shot for this.
Find the response back at least,
but that's a wonderful deck, right?
So one of the guns on the ground
from the time being another tag here from the...
Because it's gonna get cleared out,
but we are just still with eyes on EMA,
right for him to try to turn this back around,
can it fight to desert, he'll cut the back of sight.
And that's a body damage on it.
It is three kills into this round.
And it's gonna get that LP needs, yes,
further damage to the wall, for the ace!
and his hook to be able to wrap back around site
that his further damage done,
looking for his own 3K
and that looming threat of the EMA rifle
that was allowed to creep from downstairs.
Now, soon enough up into heaven.
And we'll see where the Molly goes
and if hooks he's ever going to clear heaven
because he's going to remember the dance,
the timing of the walkouts perfection
and bits and devours don't go down in vain.
Four kills inside of that aceite,
kicks it off with an outer frag does it all on his own and a put in from
e-mail to take this lead another another round to pair with a wonderful
earlier on this game that a straws have to stomach this was supposed to be the
freebie they were actually still moving quite nicely again this is not
around where they stacked it's one where they had two downstairs three upstairs
and it was just bit to get four
not letting a straw is running away with it tied off
lead in the air and in this case it's not you know like that it's not those three
instant headshot deagle kills out of bit either it's a bit of a labored effort
but and you know what you chalk that up to a few unideal shots from a strawless
or a bit just really positioning correctly getting away with the spam yeah a little
bit of oath critical round for that to be pulled out by Navi considering that
It was a couple saves.
Desert Eagles for the rest.
Smoke wall once more, but if you think you're gonna get downstairs,
like you did last round, with free space, you will meet that wonderful AWP.
the
the other question is where to suppose he's go
looks like another strong call man because he'll write the light ramp is right now with the secret play this is what
He should be worried about the bitch to stop this and he's done an excellent job
That's one thing to come up in and fall back
Just chop the jabby off the play
Looks he starts to stamp he downstairs remember. Oh, Lord was off was ready. But who's he on the angle ready to countersink spoke on a single door
In that could challenge double and there's no coverage
Bob's gonna be truck in the middle of the room
Back with another one and still worried about secret but knowing there's a player inside of that site
They won't forget about stairs,
but real goes down with nothing and E-MAC.
Able to make the most of it.
They didn't anticipate the double doors, Mo.
That's the first time I think.
A straw's got really messy.
Even though they've lost these two deco rounds,
I feel like those were kind of stoked
like taking from them, great shots, you know,
minimizing presence.
But this one, it's like they try to go
to speedily into the lower after you
they got this first kill.
And remember, it was only one back.
Of course, it's not the first bracket.
So, who's still a position of power here for not being rotation just still on their sides.
Even though they weren't inside the site already, like, you know, wonderful going down.
I think this is all just how to be a bit more afraid of an extra guy.
Something like, maybe don't plan to open and if you do watch the thing, we'll plan for it.
And it's like, sure the two players crossing over on the ledge were looking towards the door,
but you've got a sitting duck planting right in front of it.
So now that we're trying with the pistol pot,
the y'all have to pause it to angle.
Easy clean up.
As far as you can see, it's concerned,
wonderfuls on the scene, all's good.
And we're back at that round.
When the hobby is gonna find themselves
with a commendable half, that sick recovery off of the bit
4K Desert Eagle is then worth this round.
A potential follow-up after this one as well.
The door is open for now,
be to still shut this down, eight, four.
Yeah, that's sure I was just going to end on a bat no,
because the rounds they've got have actually been excellent.
And I'll be kind of like stolen this half away from them
and the straws know that.
But none of that will matter because the straws
they don't have a lot of confidence on their good
moment even though again, they run into it very consistently.
It's just not one they're winning.
It's fine, it's jabby, five-y-four,
sudden pop back out through the hive,
and a couple of kills for a Charleston move in on.
They stall for a second bit sliding into the corner as far as he can,
goes through the bonus smoke,
and Vuzzi's got the trade back.
That's going to confirm another one out there.
Wonderful, actually, commits down to the bomb site,
slides off, bomb possession,
belongs to the CTs for the time being, sitting at the open floor, stairs able to get
the most of that and now wonderful walk-in.
The collateral was on, he didn't do the close and so slides into the open high pressure
moment, hits all the shots he has to.
Yeah, another highlight there for wonderful and that is brutal for a stroll as that
feels like a guaranteed trade situation but he basically couldn't have played it better
of how deep you went on the peak.
Second guy wasn't ready.
How did he be some kind of haven't played?
He was ahead of the game.
One more round, and this is actually just a total tragedy for a straw.
Let's say start out with a pistol win.
They win three other rounds that are super solid.
They do good on nap control.
They've gotten ramp every single time they tried to take it for free.
They've gotten down to the bomb plants.
There are upper pops.
It actually looks solid up until the point.
And so I think it's just a bit of a bit of a end if they don't pick up this last
round.
But also just what you'd expect from wonderful, I mean, his moments since the major just
and lights out.
So many good methods.
Pop on timing, bit gets bested,
but they're doing great on random.
The first time bit just goes down straight up.
It's been nice to be able to tap into Ryze abilities
to entry like this.
Now they're right, they can speed up for sure.
Staircatch is a kill on McCauze.
Five versus three looking like a comfortable place
to close out this half if you are a Strawless.
Maybe even more comfortable.
Stairs just do it his own thing.
He's gonna try to go deal with him,
but that Galil is thriving in this round.
Just waiting until the final round of the T side
to sprinkle in his biggest multi-killy yets,
a triple for stare, working entirely alone
throughout this round.
We're all frazzled with the attack down
into the lower bombsite, but it's actually stare
who winds up doing the heavy lifting.
Yeah, no, Lunder Fulz just not.
If you're gonna really try this,
just going to look for kills.
Last week of the half, so he better get in there.
And so it closes with a fifth.
One for the road for a strawless to maybe feel a little bit better.
You get the pistol, you get three rounds smack dab in the center of that T side.
And then you end it with at least that fifth.
I do think mentally that just make up for some stuff that's happened.
I think I would just be pissed off.
I would just be pissed off if I watched how those, you know,
like a lot of times you might tune in, oh, it's an eight four half for knobby, they stumped them.
But no, actually look like a straw is actually, I think they just should have had a lead in this half straight up.
Like they lost key rounds. They lost rounds, but they were going to make lots of money.
They lost rounds so that they would have built momentum off of.
And then who knows what happens from there.
So I think you could see it on hook, he's faced last round.
But they took it on the chin and they went and he go their own.
And now that just makes this game competitive.
And it's actually five rounds T-side is fine.
I think the pressures are necessarily back on Navi.
They've got to be quite happy with their individual level.
And I think one thing that's very cool for Navi is that I like wonderful, you know,
this many years in is like apparently getting better, you know, sometimes you see a good
peak from a player that ends up being a veteran.
They're still young, but they don't actually improve.
Whereas it looks like there might be a new ceiling here for a guy like Wonderful
That's awesome because I think the only thing that stopped him from having that ceiling is that he's always just been too scared to go for it
And I think he's maintaining some of the same personality, but just gotten more out, but at least in the last couple of months
And maybe too scared isn't the right word, but he's always had to get set out to go for sure
He doesn't really do it himself. Like you know, who's he might be a nice contrast to him in that regard, but
cause it is going to start leading this climb up into heaven, hooks he's going to have
a challenge on his hands.
Not denying that.
Two players back on garage because they bring bit to the party with him.
Yeah, hooks he's only like loosely worried about this.
Now that flashback is going to give him something to be concerned about, CT's trying to make
moves down beneath this, but just instantly deleted with the shoulder there from a cause
say so see you later hooks he calling from the sidelines and you may have
lobby if you are a strawless but novie taking a chunk of that abom site and
still taking their sweet time to finish off this round. Yeah I mean getting into
lobby you know on a rifle it's like worst case situation you want to take
back over maybe try to retake but yeah you're not getting around to have it. Not
with two guys down here getting back into the hot it's going to be this
spot they expect so could be damned if you do and and novie will actually take it
one step further. They're going towards lower. You can find
stair so they win the battle in the lurking as well.
Kind of charge it down, yonder gonder. Jabby is going to try to make a move towards double 15 on a clock.
Try to dive it. Not to fight anything. Let's so effort. If the
struggles were feeling good about winning that last round of the first half, it's going to be a
sinking feeling in their stomach. Unless they can do what was done to them, a force
to come through in the next to try to up end this early Navi T side starts.
But a very clean pistol and of course what you'd expect from Navi, very meticulous,
clean approach.
Let McCause get his entry and then even still don't rush the whole ordeal.
Move it down to the opposite bomb set.
I mean, talk about working the body in this pistol for Navi.
Yeah, and I think some teams can definitely be too quick with it.
And like Navi are in a spot where, you know, the odds in my head are like,
like 5545 in this position, and they get the kill on hook see. Okay, they're like 65. They
can go upper, but they see that no one's flanking them on ramp. So they know that a straws
are not game planning for it. We're going for that lobby wrap. Then they decide, let's let's make
this into a 90 10. Let's take it down lower and now we know how to be comfortable in those
positions. And I think that's one of their main strengths.
But man, that round history right now on screen, that does just kind of paint a bleak picture.
Of a game that's going to be like, and we could have had it, but it just escaped us every time.
If this pistol gets converted and excuse me, it wasn't actually a force back for a stroll.
So they're not going to try what an off-grid.
They're willing to just try to get to the gun rounds.
And I feel like that could just genuinely be a symptom of the way the game has gone so far.
You know you've had your chances. You feel like you're playing well enough to win, but you just don't have all the tools for the job.
So maybe don't rush the process. Don't back on this sports victory to just let Navi pull further ahead in case the deagles don't come through.
Very scholarly approach to round 14.
Hoping for that more drawn-out round that ends up being a wrap. So they can catch someone off, but there'll be no such play here.
This could be a farm ground for a wonderful, really cap off, was already a great half.
Oh, you're not supposed to be finding these frags, but why not?
Oh, chance for a number as well.
Goal is going to get a little wild in the hands of wonderful.
They don't decide to just sprint downstairs, they take a look at that and try to make sure
that nothing can be stolen by a Strollist, and it seems like it's worked well.
And once Ryu could come through with another one.
looks he gets found out on the flank USP down here by the window and it's been found
out in doubt with so still majority alive for naughty solid conversion but really again
no threat with USP's in hand and so we take a look at the next buy not even one player
kind of breaking through that $5,000 point for a strawless but they wanted this full purchase
Now, it's scary when you look at the scoreboard of a straw,
so we haven't really brought it up, but four and eleven is jabby, four and twelve is hoaxy.
But that's about par for his course.
It's really frizzy who I think is kind of left some slack out there for his teammates to try to pick up.
We'll see if now CT side can be the birth of his comeback in this match.
Fast pressure though, out of utility for copy and a filling to step on into that threat is fair
He goes toe-to-toe with Macauze,
a best-sim dies to Alexey,
and we got a four versus four out of the gate
on a Stroll as his term.
That's a real audacious play there,
but we'll support her with the flash.
And you know that now if you're gonna try
to make him sweat a little bit,
you see how low withdraws are on utility options.
Happy.
No Nates.
I had a lot of smoke.
Yeah, that was smart.
He messed Spacey's great,
Javie's positional catch the moth.
He has a walk in now.
And still ain't gonna get himself that second bad timing.
On the ball of car,
pull, ride, drive,
and go out wide and that's gonna cost him.
There is damage,
but no one's both of these players.
It's a cute up clutch for fozy.
And he's gonna find bit cars.
The car's caught by wonderful perfect challenge
on the side of that one to find him in the open.
Didn't he know he knew that someone was squeaky side,
And there's actually a couple of small moments
communication wise, a straw is somewhat that lower round
where hooks you got shot in the back from in a month
after they didn't defend the bomb plant.
Couple of these moments, I do wonder sometimes
if we would ask a straw, so they say
this is a community communication.
This has been brought up, and I don't think
it's something that harp on strongly
because hooks these called for international lineups
before, but not everyone's played on international teams
together.
I think this would be, so I don't know where that comes down.
It's one of the most important times, yeah.
I think actually Huxi said that it was Yavvy sometimes.
He doesn't realize he's speaking in Danish when he thinks he's saying award in English.
And just one small thing and then maybe, you know, from what you're used to, a really important gap gets missed.
They said it was improving.
I don't know if I don't think this is one of the key points.
It would be a massive issue.
Right.
But you see a couple of moments where my communication is at perfect right now.
Yeah, it's really just caught by that shame too, because that's the gun round that
is strong for banking on making this game actually competitive.
Now, scouting hands.
Ooh, chance of the top-side low-fraglet drop down to $65,000, he'll try to keep that pressure on.
And the cost ain't gonna be a beast off of leash, I think, in this one, just kind of sensing
that the threats over here that these pistols are now pinned in behind minimal cover.
He's looking to tear through what remains of a strawless.
Now you just look like you're in that comfort zone now they've just got such a huge lead
there are stabbers who don't even in here on this safe and fuzzy old guy maybe one more chance
that it shot you with his scout don't skip protocols
you can clean and you'll find it out the open and so riot stuck with just the pistol
somehow passes back with the double that's the bomb
I thought in the third it's bomb possession a 1v5 attack in the bomb, but it's just like jump right into the point.
Of course, right into the trickle, over. It would have been one of those moments where Navi then starts to beat them.
Wait, it would have been a very novice situation. Would it not?
But instead it's in the 11th round. It's a flawless T side so far. It's another majority alive situation for Navi.
Two rounds away from handing a strawless their second nuke loss.
That's all it's gonna take.
And now be Navi right before our boot of past were just not good and then at boot of past they showed us
There are Navi, you know when it was folks to shop they know how to win, you know how to be good
You don't always get a strong game like this out of them right off of that but
That might be a new trend
They three owed their first stage of the major, right?
No, I'll be.
Yeah.
And we were the team that, like, all the other losses were predicted to just kind of go through flawlessly, right?
It's like the whole unity was kind of convinced that they would do it and they did.
And we are playing the upgraded major format.
Yeah.
So, all best of three's.
I guess we just kind of started stage three here at PGL events.
And so, let's not talk about a straw. It's like they're dead.
Guns back in hand, five versus three, you know, it's kind of been a tail of playing catch up to a
novice that's been in the lead. A straw has had it once, four, three on the T side, haven't seen it since,
and it's just like, look at the score lines in comparison. And everyone on novice is putting that
And that's, you know, on the desk, I think it was very well said that we look at Navi.
You don't get that super star.
Maui Snake was talking, you know, listing off all the stars that are on the talk team.
So if Navi want to be top-by, it's not to be everybody.
And today we're getting that everybody situation.
So it votes well still for Navi's chances.
As does, this Alexi headshot with a bomb plant in tow.
Scare's going to swing the doors open.
That's not going to get Alexi off the plant.
They know still, but Navi have to scramble.
This 23 post plant.
It's low health as well for the naughty players.
Oh no, Lexi finds another killer.
Now it's getting in now.
Those is gonna find a kill back.
A wonderful, a Lexi.
Three kills to his name.
Hooks the kill and cheers.
We'll find it just to keep giving us
a flawless, a little more hope.
The diffus comes through in a round
that should have always been there
for the taking three V-5 for Navi,
damn near to the limit.
I do know.
When I play, I looked at the KDs
And that my eyes naturally gravitated to a lexie because there's one person who's like,
you're not going to get someone on the level of a wonderful and bit on average.
Well, maybe it's him and he's also doing great.
That would have been an amazing moment for him, not an amazing moment for a straws and a
game where as you just mentioned, we don't want to talk about them like they're dead.
But even that getting scary and getting expensive kind of sucks for a straw.
But looking for some confidence here.
The fast challenge as well, sensing one in the water with a limited bite for a straw
as a jabby.
And the behind is the one that got it, folks.
It's not able to hold off for his life.
So we get right you back into the kill feed for a straw as the only thing that seems
to go too well off that first jabby frag.
His flank has now been found out.
The alternative end of the hole has been dealt with.
So the ball will drop lower, they know that right you have that lobby flank inbound and this is just a clear picture for
Navi is still done for that. Well, by far, the most energizing way to win around. I'm upper pop on
Nuke, T side, brain of entries, lamb and fast. Yeah. And that goes swimming like here for Navi.
To take 12 as well, right after we just saw a strawless. Almost below a like 4v2 advantage.
money's in the dumps
the winds are pure and
they could be another single digit loss for a straws
on nuk
every one again to a head of yourself of a single map but it
getting it all together today does but well because it's a 2026 that has started off with two incredibly flat events, right, getting eliminated in their opening match of bounty in the online portion.
Yeah. And you know online best of three ever coming out of the player break. It's very easy even if you are not the even if you were the commentators of that game to just be like,
Well, it's bounty this final see you guys in crackout right.
But then we didn't get to see them in crackout. I mean, we saw them, but they didn't give us much to watch this.
This is excellent and maybe, yes, okay, again,
you're capitalizing off of some missed opportunity by a
straw is the force by and round to that comes through the
bit quad desert eagle that then stops the straw is
this momentum. It's all there for them, but there's not
one weak link of this Navi at the moment. So I'm very
curious as, you know, Mirage is now queued up in this
best of three. They should be very comfortable on. This is
a statement opening to close. A much. And this is
So these are for you man, real it's just so yeah, it's so special for you man and for the team thinking about it like
This is gonna be more important for him
Making up a crown crown right. This is a we you got to visit this crowd last year even get the plane front of them
Yeah, and unlike Torji in Budapest, I'm pretty confident this crowd will cheer for you
We'll see what they go because phase, but
somehow I don't know
They have to get there too.
Well, it's first chance to close this opening map of play, opening map of the day, in fact.
And we've got a limitation in the hands of both folksy and Jackie Starrer.
Ooh, I like the move.
Kind of put in a tough spot decides to make something happen on his terms.
Not the first time, either.
We see them kind of challenge around this utility, right?
the push through the smoke at the base of silo and the first gun round. Now a challenge over
top of the flames here in round 19. Stair called on by the desk to kind of get more done
has stepped up into these opening moments and 5-4 from it. 45 seconds on Navi's timer.
And a smoke grenade goes down towards squeaky as they take their look towards ramp instead.
Can a wonderful crack this open? Does Ryu overstep? Yeah, on those here for his first pick.
But he heard that, right? They dismantle. Yeah.
You hear the drop off? No, it's gonna be a couple players coming this way now. So that's why we get this reinforcement called over in Fuzzi.
I'll see he's gonna find that shot right. You get straight enough to be AWP but that's all. Now has to somehow couple with bit at 15 seconds.
Oh, he's spotted another one and that's the bomb possession back. That's a main challenge coming through Fuzzi.
He's gonna be spotty.
Wait, you're icey going.
What's this happening?
He went to squeaky with no time.
There was absolutely no way to win that way.
He had to be there from our perspective.
He was gonna die from heaven probably,
but you didn't have a player in any
to try to get that kill.
I guess it's one of those ones where it's like,
if you're somebody back site,
you're not getting away with this.
Little did they know that you've got a player
walking out on the ledge that would have been killed
by the main player.
he hard committed to his slam. Yeah, it didn't feel like he were planning to save right away.
They just realized yeah. So it comes down to still impressive to for for wonderful
the reading exactly where he was walking up on top of that ledge. A nice try.
But a good save here for his draws. And at the same time clearly not there one in
And the only chance to finish off this map...
The first of six...
map points goes the way of Astralis instead.
And that's an Astralis that...
is now working with less utility,
EMA's already challenged down into the event.
That's going to cost him half his health,
but we do get this challenge I think into squeaky coming through from Javi.
He's lost in the smoke grenades.
And if he does go through, he'll find nothing.
This is Navi taking an early look towards secret,
off of the EMA securing vents.
to the
roof there's still nothing downstairs whatsoever for a
strawless they're starting to take back ramp control
but it feels to me like not the art just ahead of
this timing
although
because they're walking
getting the info about the place that they can
punish that's the question
you get to the back of the bomb site bottom makes a
held as well so he's not even operating on his own
this is good as a get now for a stroll as they just got this one
last ramp guy who can come and help.
Confirmation though is the fast step start to come through Ryu Challenge on both sides
not sure which door to watch.
Oh man he gets cleared out with nothing to show for it but stairs gonna fight the
double block.
Those are the planes and you'll bring one down but burped to a Chris.
It's a clutch needed out of stair a 4k called on and he's halfway there hands busy
on the plant.
He met.
Turns back around and now he was stair out here with the open.
Oh my god!
there at that.
Challenge out through the double doors.
He mad, giving that space over for a second,
he mad turns around and clears the secret,
but it's a 2v1.
And you're looking at stare in the face.
All the sudden stare is given extra space
comes out from Rampal ready
and hits the shots he has to.
That is two of six.
Now, the way back, of the Charlottes.
I thought that round died with Foozey running through
the Mahli for his one bill.
And instead, stare saved today,
This is real nasty by him.
I mean, could you have optimized that a little bit more
on the peak?
Sure.
But still, it was a very good chance
to just get into the last remaining points
of HP off of him and winning that round.
So as far as they endure, they continue.
And they may get a whole round game.
All right, I'll talk to that.
Pistolsian hand for Nami, which could paint a bleak picture
except we've seen them win these sorts of rounds.
I've been a lot of X-factor in the hands of these pistols.
I'll take their sweet time with it, try to chip away it in a straw as that has been on the brink, right?
It's two players that survive off of the clock, two rounds ago.
Stair the sole survivor in that previous one, B2.
And he kills would be very valuable here for Navi, but so far down in the 4B5.
The ramp challenge is not going to go their way either.
They've had a good track record in France like this, but it's about time Astral is just clean one up, no problem.
Seemingly exactly what we're going to get.
It's always what you say, don't know.
It's right, it's what you say, everything.
But that's all right
One death
One death on the side of a straw is all we're gonna get is a three round game folks three in a row for a straw is three more to go
Yeah, now nothing nothing really matters nothing about how these past rounds have gone nothing about the first half and
General is on your mind. You're just thinking about we actually have a good chance at over time if we play our cards right
Yes, we have to play better than we have been because some of these rounds have been way too close
But it's it's now Navi who have to prove they can close
Thing is you're coming off of the fire time from blade. Oh, that's what's turn up
Three red lights and you're done
Blade but we know you know we talk about it notorious for round conversion off of timeouts are Navi
So let's see if that's all it takes, a few words from the mastermind.
I kind of threw Fozy under the boss at the start of this first second half, right?
I'm mentioning that his score was down there with Javi and Fozy who aren't much improved.
Infosia has trying to collect it himself and gotten up towards the top with stare at
Grio.
You've got that presence online for the CT side of least.
I could be a drive factor all the goal for it.
Nice move.
Decide to interrupt novice plans with another challenge and we've had those challenges by stare
in outer.
We haven't seen Grio go back deep into the ramp play so catching novio off guard and establishing
man advantage of the game.
Oh it's crazy what that does for that.
To get a kill that early so cleanly, no trade chance, no, uh.
Look at this push to it, these he comes in through me, you've got two players in lobby.
It's going to be a Lexi blind sighted because you've got these players inside lobby being given space.
Fosie is through the smoke, challenging the D-Bangle.
Even though Lexi comes out looking at it, it's all those angles that you kind of have last clear.
As you can see, why all the top teams are doing so all off of first kills.
You see how much nobby have to bluff about the map control they have and how much a straws can make it worse for them with pushes like that.
You can't watch everything when you're down to four.
other than a miraculous series of entries
and truly we know they're already considering just how do they save
they're lucky for the time being that a straw is going to
Consider chasing, though. They're all really pressed up against the glass right now. They might be able to catch some exits
Oh, and there was the one moment
It does this lure the CTs into a push
Oh, yeah, they're getting active big time
Can you hang on how many died?
safe hits could have fully saved them. Yes, there was no one getting up the ladder right there
Oh
It's one thing if you want to help out before your teammate dies by shooting them in the back
unexpectedly it's another one you take that challenge after wonderful is already dead
That was the guy inside of all of us just thinking ace ace ace ace
clutch clutch clutch
Huge clues clues
All right, well then that's an incredibly expensive and well
Well, huh, $300.
Alrighty, wonderful to see the fully invested.
So you've already got one player down on $300,
so we've got an ace for their scene.
Like, some people might think,
we doesn't keep the one, we just keep the safe cage.
It doesn't keep us safe.
It doesn't keep us armor.
That just keep us armor has to wait for two frames of loss.
And you just keep our respect.
Yeah, and like, yeah, let's see what you can do with this clock.
That's your punishment, boy.
That makes up for all those forest by moments
that a Charlottes loos in the first half.
That is your golden tickets to get into overtime now.
Yeah, that's not a small mistake.
Especially if this goes over time.
It's going to be largely because of bit having absolutely no camera.
You can't even buy himself armor for when someone can drop them.
I mean, it is full lost bonus for the side of Navi going into around 24.
But you have two players with less than $500 at this moment.
But what you have is there.
It's so low.
I mean, a lot.
No, there needs to be someone downstairs.
There's no control side either and you know what we call a control side because you need that
No Jesus take the wheel we've got to retake you it up
That's my pizza it's lucky day
Does he get away with it and you know, it's crazy to it's one thing if this was just pistols
But you're retaking into a Kevlar at AK 47 for wonderful
On the Naipole luckily stairs got it from the back line there's so many players there ready for that kind of a push stairs multi-kill
Big, the AK is not gonna get picked back up
and the Diegels do the job.
Tech guys, it's cover, back of their block.
And now this pinch into even the time is up to yes
and to the get's hooks to the up close.
He's gonna slow burn this and you're not gonna win the map one.
After the back of Bitcoin, after time,
an AK saved not needed.
It is a fumbled ball by a strawless earfokes.
Nuke doesn't go their way, no overtime needed.
Navi, queue up a finish for Barrage.
Am I already when it gets excited when the player
in his home country does something cool?
So like it's the final round.
It was like don't worry, I'm just gonna come into this.
Then I just get super hyped because I'm like,
yay, it's not even played, obviously it,
but that makes me excited.
Navi got me excited, right?
Yeah, I mean, you have to be correct
because Emma was actually at close last year,
but not competing.
He was just here to be able to interact
with the hometown crowd, so to speak.
But now he has an opportunity, if Navi continues this trend that we saw on that map,
to have a chance to play in front of his crowd.
We know how special that was from all of the way last year in Estana, and Walt
Ema's a little bit more of a veteran.
It's not quite the same romantic story.
It still is one, right?
You know, to have him have chance, walks as a chance over at Flet to do the same thing.
And yeah, I'm on with you on that one.
He was grabbing them by the hair and just dragging them.
He's like, oh, you know, you know, when this we will keep going, that long strand.
I mean, what kind of strongness have done to the theme are you?
Was there anything they could have done differently?
I feel like they could have known that it was lower,
perhaps a little bit earlier.
So things weren't in much of a scramble.
I also feel like throughout a lot of this game,
I think it just comes down to not be in many of these situations.
Kind of like a little bit more ex-factor.
It was kind of something that we sort of talked about
in the pre-game, just the way that the individuals
they're good.
But I almost feel like the way that Astralis started this one,
we could have said the the opposite was true. The way Rio was taking names towards outside with his
deagle, but it was oftentimes the pistols that got Navi over the line in this one,
a couple great CT rounds with them, and then of course the last one to finish off this map.
It's kind of like it shouldn't have brought that way. The cost is worth talking a lot about it,
and yet Navi was able to pull it out. Like you said, that a little A expected they are the favorites,
and where the favorites come in to this. But I want to focus in on a straw as we can do that first
off moving into a little bit of the come back in the second guess what did you like about
what you saw.
Well I mean I like that you know despite having that fumble on the second route, losing
to wonderfuls, Diego they can post themselves and they put together a streak of about
three rounds kind of in the middle of the half and really what you saw a lot of it is
again just the value that Ryu is bringing to this team as you know a rookie and I got to
keep an eye out for for a rookie of the year story of this year if he's able to keep up
this pace and that is that yet his primary role is not that of an opener but he's
a luxury to have because he does have that capacity right and it takes a little bit of
weight off the shoulders and the others. I mean there were multiple rounds kind of
early in the first half where Ryu was helping them take up or getting a treat on
people in the upper after. I think what's the fun around of the half was their fifth
round that they won on the T side where he just pulled those into ramproom and found
an opening pick and it's little things like that that allow him to be a little bit of an
X factor. But unfortunately if wasn't enough to go up against a Navi team who was
as far as I can also tell you.
I love how it does.
I'm just going off top of it.
I'm going to point this out because I feel
like this is a moment that he's creating a moment.
I want to create a moment too.
I think before we've even got into the
second map of the first game,
you've dropped the rookie of the year.
Come in for a few times.
Go and continue to.
At the end of the year, if he is,
one of the contenders, you can be like,
I called that at the beginning of the year.
of the year, right? And it's something that we're going to track all your long. And it's
started the beginning of the year, because last year is what you have the year and it's kind
of true. I'm sorry. The conversation starts on the first day. But the computer. Right. I mean
last year, the last year, the conversation started with someone like PR, right? That was kind
of a lot of people had on Joe. It wasn't another one at the beginning of the year. But then you
had model in Kiosuke coming to the fall midway through the year. And they really stole the story
of that plan. And so that obviously could happen again. But for now, it's just cool to see
see someone like Ryu who had, you know,
some land experience with Mottie,
but not against top level competition.
He's being thrown into now,
but the fold of how in the play against Tier 1 teams,
at, you know, the lead prestige event at Krakow,
and now here at Clues with the very stacked field,
and he's putting up really good performances.
I mean, it's something that's strong.
He's gonna be excited about,
because they haven't had a whole lot to, you know,
be thankful for here lately.
You heard it, Jeff,
first, if you wouldn't, Ricky of the year,
this clip will probably be fine to answer the incident.
I'm just wanting you this.
We've got to sew some seeds, you know, throughout the year.
Yeah, I'm gonna say that.
I wanted to talk about wonderful because we brought him up in the pre-show.
It was something that we said like we need wonderful to activate. He looks really good on you.
Wonderful was fantastic. I mean the the D-goal that he had in Brown 2.
Even just the way that he was able to find great trade kills with the off. I feel like he's
in this map doing everything that I wanted him to do from the beginning of this year.
Obviously Crackout did not go the way that he had wanted. So to see him bounce back in this
to see him bounce back in this fashion is a welcome site. I feel like really if he can actually
just consistently contend with the top five operas in the world, it's a world of difference
for what Navi can be this season because if he just kind of falls out of that sort of conversation
if he's sort of just meddling around the eighth best, then you don't really have the same
win conditions that Navi did because a lot of the rounds were off of the back of him having a
a multi-frag moment or just getting key kills
that sometimes offers miss.
Yeah, I mean, wonderful is definitely when you looked
in obvious, we talked about how there is really no true
star on this team, right?
And McCasates, a little too early to call.
The others are people that we kind of know.
We know bits capable of it.
Right?
I mean, he was one of their best players in 2024, whenever they had
that team of the year run, that they had in the first full year
of CS2, but he hasn't been that same die.
I think EMA, to me, even though he's not the main
entry of this team, he actually does a pretty good job,
he still gets called upon to create opening.
So yes, that part of his game really fulfilled.
But he's had to kind of really repivate
how he approaches the game to make room for Macase.
You know, Macase, it took a lot of his spots.
He was having to move into some of J.L.s,
all the roles are swapped around with bitter.
Whatever, there's a lot of moving parts
that took place with this one roster move.
But yeah, like wonderful, it's kind of that one guy.
When you saw the performance, like you saw at a major
in Budapest, it's like man.
If we could get that more often, that all of a sudden
just makes the game a whole hell of a lot easier,
and you haven't hopped at that kind of impact.
I feel like maybe a starless has made this a little bit difficult for themselves using their
map pick because we know that for Navi they know this map like the back of their hands by
rats.
They should be closing this out to zero.
I would think so.
I feel like the the wind condition the series was a straw is taking a nuke that is.
I don't.
I feel like this can still be a very competitive map because even though Navi morages
their bread and butter. I have seen some weaknesses. I feel like a lot of people understand
the a constricting to play that, not be just like to run so badly. And so we've started
to see teams actually play to counter it a little bit more, pushing into bit, whether he's
in palace or ramp. I feel like so frequently that's been outlined from teams that have taken
on novice in recent history that they just want to force the issue. They want to take some
space away because novice mid-control just feels so airtight when he was coming from underpass
and Macauzae and Alexa, you're working through middle.
So, it's hard to deal with that,
but you can take extremities away from Navi now.
And so, if installs have keyed into that detail,
there's a way that they can upset the balance here.
And it's gonna be a tough one.
I mean, they've lost all four games.
They've played with this five this year.
And so, I think you're gonna have to see them
step up their T-sides at particular.
Like, are you starting on the CT side?
And, again, stay any ab here.
They want to keep an eye on because they play such important roles.
The offensively on the team again,
you have to have a great crack-how,
but really struggle throughout the entirety of last year.
player, he's a guy that we discussed in the pre-game where he's been called upon the play
a lot of star roles, where he's not always putting up star level numbers.
He played fantastic there on Newt.
So if you can kind of carry that over, that's obviously going to be very important.
But for me, again, it's going to come to, I think this trials need to find a way to just
get, as much as they can out of the CDC, because their T-Sides have really not been there.
Meanwhile, when you look at an lobby, you know, yeah, they lost both their games at Crack
Cobb, one was an overtime loss to spirit, and they were so hot at the end of last year.
throughout the the Budapest major where there's you know you mentioned
their mid control and their eight pinches but I think their playbook
is just quite deep but they can make payments if they need to if that's
not working out I think they're a pretty balanced team all in all and again
just like we talked about in the last game which is gonna be you know my
pausay is kind of their front runner it's gonna be about how much impact he
could have will really kind of determine how this thing plays out. I think that's
the biggest issue right we said in the pre-show we've seen it time and time
again at Navi's consistency is is where they lack and how do you fix that
How do you activate these players?
How do you make sure that they come in at a level
consistently to be the wonderful that we saw at the major?
I don't know what the answer to that is.
To be that more of an individual issue when it comes
to wonderful, I feel like the praise has gone well
to the support staff of Navi.
Ursula has seemingly done a really solid job in making sure
that he is in the right mentality all the time
because even watching some of the Navi vlogs
or even just things from what tournaments have released in the past,
I feel like wonderful the consistency or his own.
It's almost like his own mentality was wavering.
These are such kind of broad stroke concepts,
but when he's just between maps of aping,
just constantly nervously,
I'm not really sure if he's gonna deliver on map 2,
and then sometimes he doesn't.
So I feel like he's really settled down
into being a star and actually just realizing that
he can't take liberties in how they wanna run place.
He doesn't have to just follow the blade book
to a T every single time that he could break the mold.
And when you see him do that, when you see him,
just decide to go for a peak that has no trade potential.
But he thinks it's a good fight.
Then you start seeing the best version of wonderful.
If you've just walked in after morning for some formers,
you've missed the first map, but it's okay.
Navey was able to take a shot, this is pick.
I mean, I'm moving on to Mirage.
That is Navey's pick.
And right now it looks like they may be able to close the series
out to zero.
We'll find out if that is the case right off to the break.
She said she loves you, but she can't love me.
But I love you!
I won't play window anymore.
What's going on?
Yeah, you're a little...

Now, we are coming into Closing the Pogo off the back of some pretty tough results
to start off the year, so let me just ask you how is it within the Navi Camp right now,
how are things feeling?
I still have my expectations and overall excitement just to play more tournament since we
practiced for a long time before going to Krakow, but now you just obviously we want the
the shoulders, that's it.
When you're looking back at some of the mistakes
that are happening, we've spoken about it
before with Navi, is that you fix something?
Then some old mistakes come in and there's new ones.
Is it frustrating for you when you're
maybe having to go over this again and say,
like, guys, okay, we're going back into old habits?
Like, how are you guys approaching all this?
We're trying to figure, like, if you can't say anything
brand new, but I wouldn't say so.
I just think that it's the same process,
you know, trial and error.
And at the same time, one bigger thing that happened during the both camp and overall start
of the season was also the train going out and I know we'll be coming back in.
It's also a lot of new repetitions on new maps and trying to understand our map all
since train was, you know, one of our better ones.
Yeah.
Understanding your map will right now.
Do you have confidence with like a home map right now?
Do you feel like there is one map that Navi is better than saving the elite teams on?
Yeah, I do think so that we still have the maps that everyone feels confident on.
And if we pick it or it's the designer or whatever, there's comfort on the map for sure.
But we still need to improve on the other side.
In terms of a lot to share of it, we're in Romania, which I'm sure is an important one for
Emery in particular.
Is this someone he's mentioned to you guys?
He got to see clues last time around, just like a viewer, you know.
he was here just enjoy in the environment.
But can you see that this is a tournament
that might mean some more to him?
You know, I think so.
I think he's been waiting for us to play,
like a tournament in Romania for a while now
with the potentialy playing in front of the audience
and all that's kind of stuff.
But, yeah, I think it's important for him
even though he might not say it,
but I do think it's always exciting to play
in one of your teammates' country.
I think that the crowd usually cheers for you.
And at the same time, I think it's nice
to see the excitement on this player.
And what it would mean to me to play
in front of a Felix Curtis one.
But is this also quite an important element
for you guys to now show up and show yourself?
Do you feel like you're at that point
where you must have a good performance here?
Especially even just for it, look at RRS points,
not tanking so much.
Yeah, all these points, everything, they're, they're, they're important, and at the same time I do think that we all want to perform, it's not like we must, but it's the expectations of all of the players and all the hard work you put in this year, you know, playing about tournament would be disastrous.
What gives you that feeling of, okay, I've done what I need to do, I've put the team, the right position to have that success.
I think just having the communication, the excitement and the trust from all of the players in
moments where you need to make a fast decision or in moments where you need to apply the
opponents or whatever it might be, it's just a play with this thing for a long while.
So I understand when things are clicking and when things are not so, I know when I'm
I'm gonna be satisfied.
All right, and then there's one bit more of a lighter note.
Me and you have spoke before about teammates missing utility
and things like that.
We passed that now really good spot.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Hop, so.
You hope so.
Yeah.
Well, Alexie, thank you for all your forces always.
Good luck going to the tournament, man.
Thank you.
he
chance to see the bounce back as
Wallace they had an opportunity
it felt like over on
new quether that opportunity was
squandered or whether it was
never really truly there for
the taking only that history
three books, Mohan, because now Marage was where they've got a bounce back.
They have to, you know, we typically see three maps series from these teams.
I think a straw is today.
We're probably really looking forward to like having a new victory.
I think that was probably on their mind in terms of a win-con for the series.
Yes, they do well versus Navi, but they also know that that's just not going to simply
keep up.
You know, pull up a streak like that unless you're one of the top five teams in the world.
they're not going to get sustainably and be another one. That easily. So it's a kind of
a matter of time before. Now if you figured out this matchup and even though this
line I'm very new again, a straws half sort of posed a new threat with this five. So let's
see how Mirage goes. I'm hopeful we get some good rounds, but we did see still some messiness
from a straws mixed in there. And I'm going to be going to afford that now.
Yep.
Ooh, Baretta's in the corner, hearing the footsteps coming through, but no overcoming out of Navi.
Bong is there.
Never gets spotted, I don't think.
We didn't really see it for Ryus POV, but...
I don't think I'm...
FIREBALL!
Navi here.
Always meticulous.
You'll go fling.
Navi are always meticulous in these pistols.
When you think back to the new play, the scramble back down to lower after you already had a 5v3, that was the nest.
And now they'll crawl this one up through connector, looking to top off it, who comes through over the hole!
Wait, shut the fire!
Oh my bang.
While falling down the ladder hole,
block upside the head.
And he meant gonna plant that bomb, covered all in the round of no champs for
Hotsie really to get anything going and so Navi looked at a gun away, a T-side
pistol round.
What a start.
This would be off at the momentum of the close of Nuke.
Alexia to the cover.
You have given a bit of space over to the shoulders, but that's just gonna be the
out into the bucket.
We're surely Navi able to finish off these frags.
Bombi on that halfway point, McConsa's got Hotsie, and it's all still four players
surviving for Navi, and it's basically pistol to perfection.
There's just some positions that are so done, you know, you get out of, you get the first
kill that quickly, you get psych-control that fast, you have connector, you have default,
you know, no one's flanking any ramp, because you were so fast, there's just some
spots that are too tough to pull yourself out of.
A straws were in one of them right there.
Brought to you by Bid!
Claw?
Oh man.
There it is.
That maybe it's another game, another map here where...
Everyone on Navi's fry.
You asked me, you're trying to hold down somebody.
Anybody willing to dance with a pack of USP fighters?
You did.
Who's it, honest?
That is gentlemanly by wonderful.
Just went to over to his own side arm.
But it is minced meat made of straws.
And I keep trying to go for minced meat of the dains.
You know how perked into my brain it is that a straws can be referred to as the dains.
Right?
And it's just, I'm just, sorry to pull it back.
I don't think you have to apologize for that if you like I can't get rid of it. It was them and the Mongols, you know
That just had every single player in their country on their team the Dains. The straw is the Dains
And maybe you know jail
Actually joins the Mongols and just ruins every team
And not jail but all the national teams
I do yeah, who do we have left after that?
You've still got Aurora
before, yes, and be seven at large for the open air and a bit out of palace
Just put an early mark on this round as well
I'm gonna smoke into the middle of the site try to deny a little bit of control here, right foes
You just look at a pop pop of his chest be a looming threat
And he's actually gonna take up that space behind it, so he's given himself this chance to kind of slow down the roll
a common crew, this eight commitment, the strollers are all here. All the scene ready to look,
but the thing is without anybody elsewhere, and this pause by knobby, now they start to question
themselves, see the difference between not showing a single person, like you had hoaxy rotating
all the way back around. Still looking to come clear this out though, jabby crossing over to the site.
Okay, it's going to go a little wider and he's going to come there here. Oh, he finishes the sandwich
kill cats and I pull over to the texture is climb up and Lexi catching it up great
it's got hooks he scrambling back in through jungle as fozy again tries to challenge
his off-of ticket stairs headshot connects man advantage collected and the
straw is going to keep that pressure up with hooks he going wider and wider and
soon enough you'll find a Lexi who sure can give a headshot back but the straw is
doing a good job of getting out of there to double check that there isn't something
going down at B and still returning in time as well, right?
They played with that window of opportunity in two directions, the departure, and the return.
They returned before, not the actually pull the trigger on the full fallback.
And so this one is a straw, as is for the taking.
Yeah, I mean, well, put in, I think this is one of the strongest spots basically is
when they pause on A. And I think, you know, straws could have been worried about that,
but they, like you said, handle it so well,
could ask for better angle clears, better timings to come back to the site.
They didn't know a react when they had to hooks you go over to check on B, just in case to make sure
there was no lurker back on ahead out on the site,
while everyone started running back.
And so a very solid early response here.
and a very early timeout call for nobby
Good on hooks, he takes a bullet to the head, still follows through with the
lexie frag, I really put that one on ice, and that man had been around the world
and back in that round.
That is really his deal, I don't think we were in more of that.
Ooh, huge straight bullets go through that smoke, and suddenly a lexie beast sitting on
30 health.
I'm going to do it about it, so that they can challenge them and walk, but it's exposed
to stare is going to cost them a couple of bodies, and Lexi still fast to the tempo,
brings that bottom around the Catwalk corner, but by the time it gets around the corner,
everybody is dead.
Rocks all at hold out of a Stallus from the stare popping of the connector smoke for
two into that B defense holding its own as well.
We've got a tide game for rounds in.
So many moments for a straw sur just like 10 out of 10 on the set up here, and
Even when stairs the one getting two kills off of cat. There's still three and be ready for the split to come through
Right after the blade pause
He comes in for the tack a straws have the exact right set up for the call. They read that thing beautifully
Not many counterblade not many
Just hooks these big fat
And sometimes his finger tips too, and four kills, two deaths, you got to enjoy a strong
hooksy start because they don't always follow through with the same Gusto.
You know what I mean?
It's got its moments.
Creepy crawling under plas, underpass players.
We're going to plaster stare on the side of connector.
I was kind of unlucky. He was really actively spotting, but now Moody's in trouble too.
He's got the utility to try to soften them up, but he still feels stranded, and that is why.
Oh, say, he may have come through with a headshot to Desert Eagle kills.
I can't afford one like this, right?
Shades of what went down back on Newc with these kinds of moments.
He was able to catch one.
Jabby's headshot to wonderful's good.
I'll leave you eating a bit of that pressure,
but because a hands on the M4,
coming up through Con,
he will catch a second kill with that picked up gun.
They sent him into Window to grab the M4 up, Rosie.
Wait.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Third, DEAK for the road.
It is a laughter in the Navi camp
because they pull off that round of all rounds.
That was definitely.
Headed for a 1B1,
I'mma with a fake plant into the perfect shot.
Had to be a headshot.
An amazing clear and right here, man.
What a round of M.O.C.
3.D.V.
Yeah, the lead in the second frag,
how wide he held inside of the window exactly
is who's you would fall back.
It's perfection and clues here for you, M.O.C.
You met in Clube.
Definitely Clube.
Like him on a form, right as advanced, it's such what we're all looking for.
I've got a couple of emphores out there on the field, but stairs not hanging on to one of them.
So you'll go down with ease.
looks he takes a bit of control upside to the be apartments is not a continue to float out middle you can't spell motivation without a
You've got a point bloggers
You know, it's funny. No, the obviously a team that many people cheer for if it's the organization. They're they're absolutely
Human security and down or strike right whether it's this roster specific we would ever it is
No, the not coming to compete in collusion last year was one of the few times where I remember like there was like a heated backlash
Yeah, I was like how could you do this to EMA?
Yeah.
You know, whenever a player is not even given, it's one thing when you don't make the
play-offs at your hometown or your country's event, it's a whole other thing to just
not even compete.
I don't know.
We had them on the co-street, like something on a washed-up, ex-prote.
Yeah.
This is EMA.
We're talking about them.
So inside of a server, ceasing the opportunity, you're not last round.
Vosie though, remember, there was two of them on the field.
He tried to make something happen here at the die moments of this A commitment.
And there's still this looming threat now that hooks you stuff with the bottom and the brag a little.
But you guys got the cover. It's all good.
Hooks his challenge up through connector as mains come sailing into him.
See how this?
There actually a chance, hooks you with four health goes 1v2 hero mode versus boot and a Lexi B.
Just new the ultimate, IGL, AG grenade right now.
There it is. It's all. It's gonna jump on top of it. Confident to go into that challenge and the low health makes it all the easier
gets swallowed up by the aggressive bit move off top stairs. That's a bit to seven and three as he closes out the four two
Navi T side lead
That was really feeling like in the first half of the new distraught's gonna make the upset happening in on that one
Last half is by
Yeah, I think we can extend it like warming up throughout the first play of Nuke warming up into 2026 as well.
I think one of the reasons that we, at the desk, were kind of saying that there was upset potential,
really was because Astralis impressed and crack out and knobbies years so far, two events.
As we mentioned in Bounty and Crack out, we're just so flat.
And you think, okay, great. You did what you always do. You peek for the major.
They were in all the playoffs of the of the people for 2025
But with no of you know, it oddly it's just never a guarantee
You never want to write them off you never know where you're gonna you just never know where you're in this
They're a box of chocolates
That's fun but sometimes you get Mars a man
And I don't even know what that is but I did oh, yeah, okay
You win some you lose some that's not me that's not me
Sometimes you win big
Sometimes you win natures
That's the statistically least likely team to do it too
Mm-hmm.
He's shaking of unlikely pistols here in this one, but he's been finagged by that apartment's presence and now obviously
You look at this APA so a more attention cent towards Catwalk as bomb is just gonna tip toe into a new and fake into eight bombsite
Perfect on the map control. They got to read it lay it a land perfect. They've got that
That's uh, I do have that, that patient.
Like there's a point on the round where now I'll be no exactly what the set up is going to be.
And then they have no fear.
Sometimes it takes a long time to get there.
But, um, you know, I don't know what other teams would say, but when I'm fasting now I'll be.
Probably we focus on this, one of the hardest teams for me.
I, I, hmm.
They just, they're funky.
Funky, that's a good one.
Yeah, they're funky.
They like all the off-angles all the weird timings
Is it gonna be late?
Or is it gonna be late?
Late, late, right.
You know, you don't know which one.
Some people said would jame that with Paravision.
You know what's gonna happen but you can't stop.
I want to believe that was obvious.
It's like that except you less.
No, what exactly are you gonna do?
They ferment nicely. Don't they? Yeah, absolutely. They get the flavors out.
It tastes like citrus ants. Citrus ants. Whoa. This guy's got a pallet.
Benj now in Denmark. Eating ants? Yeah, they banned it. Really? Yeah, those poor
collitis being. There's a whole lot of ants. They're people too. Well, that's
debatable smarter even in some ways. They look pretty stupid from where I'm
I'm standing, no, stupid, it's not the right word.
Definitely up there in terms of satisfying squishing as far as bugs go.
Yeah, nice little cuts, you know, just a little,
which is openly disgusting, Harvard, that's fine.
Sometimes it's nice to feel like a god.
Alexey was looking for that feeling, but instead gets brought back down to Earth.
Stair with the quick play.
Many tell a lot of these today, hasn't he?
These kind of opening duals from the first 10 seconds of rounds.
We go back to the new CT side,
challenging secret, challenging silo,
now off the catwalk.
A straw is kinda a little bit low.
They have something on these, oh, oh, it's wet.
Wait, cover.
Javi is lucky.
They're not used there to actually hit the touch.
I'm gonna say, I don't think he does that.
That's right, he's there.
Okay.
So, we're gonna have to be a base.
He just almost filled died.
I think they can.
Yeah, it's like there's a bait when you reload in cover.
And then there's the reload,
and you're actually in the open.
And then, of course, the way my teammate
he is allowed to be.
Time to start shooting back.
they get it done.
A 5B3 is a 5B3.
Just don't miss the soft shot and this round is easy.
Now there's a little start for Fuzzi today.
We have that recovery back on the CT side of the n-
Last time I brought it up,
he also had a recovery within it.
So let's see what he can do in this one is it's easy pickings
for the finish of round eight.
The straw is looking for their third of the CT side,
but to do it with five players alive,
that is new found success.
Yeah, I always come at a cost until this one without over blowing it.
I think what we can say that's nice about Astralis has got a lot of underrated things
happening at the same time.
I'm fuzzy jumping up as raiding by like 07 over this last month, just on average,
a really good month.
You know, maybe there needs a little bit extra on average to be really impressive for
the, you know, better roles that he's gotten since the beginning of this lineup.
Ryu like I sold his smart hoods at a Ryu. I'm seeing a long career out of Ryu just you know whatever happened
This actually
Here, he just seems like he's actually extremely versatile. I'm always very close up with the
Swiss army knife players and I see you know good as an anchor good opening. Good clutches, you know
Smart moves here and there, but overall it's not like they've just
Superstars with massive amounts of stats happening here on a Stralis
Which is throughout their history what they're used to
was he, no, we get that replay now, right, it
reviews, stare assured, but watching ramp when that walk out.
And maybe that comes down to, you know, we had a
quick conversation about like the communication
breakdown sometimes of the strollers. This isn't
the round where they lose because of it.
Right, it's not watching that connector, so you can
reload. You see, Abby's like literally just using
all his ammo. Yeah, so and reloading
and standing in the open water.
Maybe he asked him in Danish.
Ah, so...
How about a flucous?
He was like, all right, I'll watch the ramp.
Yeah.
No, if you ever thought I connected?
Yeah, man, oh man.
I love Danes.
This one.
I can make fun of them.
Yeah, and they're back, moving through at the utility.
Ooh, a little reaggression top mid,
and how straws want control of something.
Then we all walked into the angle top mid.
They will sit right there, not green.
This job gets added on in that.
They have the better setup, I want to say.
They're still ready for this.
Free thumbs standards also watch top mid.
Oh, whoops to bottom, a double AK kill.
That'd be a spray transfer, right?
Oh my goodness.
They're kind of on this wall right here, right?
Small adjustment to the top mid for the second one.
You're not able to get into the engagement
and he's gonna lose control of the A-Sight at the meantime.
The bomb still towards that T-Spon.
It's fine, plenty of time.
Molly doesn't spray.
He'll get there though.
Yeah.
It's got it in the bag.
You told me to try to walk off jungle,
but if you overstaps,
foes you, AWP could still catch somebody off,
including the bomb crossing at this rate.
The challenge gets caught out. Still though that bomb's got a jump over it and
Fusiko's for the plate inside a connector and steps back. Does give the space that
likes you needed to plant this bomb. He's gonna have to reload this off off the next shot.
No incentive for Alexa to do this out of here and up in jungle. Even though he's got 87
health. We're talking about a smoke so much to save no kid. No kid. But still he walks back
and all the everyone's dead inside a middle if there was one let it go yeah
thousand nice sneak out from bit it's exactly what we want to do when you see a setup like that there's only so many players in the
map if there's a three player mid set up you know out best they've got like fuzzy and ticket but he was already spotted off of
a cat so a bit new he could sneak out maybe take a fight maybe just walk out there
and the bally to clear out connector was perfect too because he knew that he's added a
It's kind of grabbing around triple, so everything is just kind of perfection actually from Navi.
One moment where maybe Huxi takes the kill back and connector and it's still going, but it doesn't happen.
I'm all opening the E-mail play over there.
Just line up.
Singles.
Navi, if that duel was taken right for the guy waiting.
That's all good at that situation, by no.
Like a tight and suffering down in half a set.
It's a merciful.
It's short.
Still the high still won't know that.
That's trying to freeze out.
I think we could.
Rest in peace.
And now it's a straw as you start to feel underwater.
That's tough when around like that, because like the last off of the late tack, the previous
round, they call it a perfect, they have 3 and B, they blew up the connector smoke, they
punished them off cat, everything.
Here the setup, it's meant to catch them going for mid-control.
Once again the perfect setup but they don't fall through the kills.
Now their money is teetering, they have a decent buy here but it's still sketchy.
Good.
Good.
Good.
Good.
Clear by 100% pressure they are close with the off made one home pickly at his feet so I think
it should also be content with what they get out of that forward setup.
Hello, get the need hit. That's the question. If they knew that, maybe they feel a little better.
Yeah, and it is the offer. So we'll see if that really will matter.
We're probably going to get wonderful, post it up in the b-apps window to market with the exact coming out.
And that is a new smoke.
That's the cool thing about big tournaments like this. You always get new smokes.
Yes, of course.
Okay, and just cut them down from the catwalk gets away from the mid plate. Peels went off the window and the player in sight
Who was calling for cover gets what he asks for and then some
Well, let's put that in the highlight real shall we?
Right after you said he had a slow start again. Here he is
All is good
First shot was crazy
Oh, chance to tie this up and take him swing together the next two this is four rounds non consecutive round wins back and forth
That's that boat well for a stroll as you think so when you check out the bike
You're the knobby ring at the table and round eleven
We've got the little's in play for the majority of tech night limitation for a Lexi, but still wonderful's off
on the hunt for first caught back and he will be by his counterpart that blue
stover top of the mid-smoke has got boozy down for the town. I have to see
no people out the set of victories. That's the nerley pit. I'm a walk out of the
bust of the back. Good headshot here from Ryan. There was nobody else to help him
inside of this ace. I had to bring it back and then in there on his own and
does so. It's actually incredibly still got a hundred health after those two
kills. They're so happy with the timing. I was just going to kill. I think he's still
fresh enough. Skip the deep corner clear. That's what costs them. Cancels and stairs
here for novice. Everybody's so number five. I used down two chills. All he's going
to find. I'm going to need a power. I'm going to stare. It does a ton of damage. And
that could damn well queue up. Cook sees one V2. Is he not going to go palace?
Now we can't
Now looks he's trying to figure out where the hell this last player's gotten off to he thinks it's take it the ball is planted for ramp and
I'm gonna get in cross yet he thinks it's just a four-dimensional play
Gonna try to stay close
Oh my god, he's gone
Yeah, all right
Why not
Looks he goes right
Well, it's planted for email. It is right there to stop
He's it was so low. He's just thinking like I know is where I am
I'm gonna get I'm gonna get killed on this first shoulder peak. Oh my goodness. It's so obviously planted for ramp. Yeah, sure. He's holding me
pros don't fake well then
So it's actually a three to five because of
The second kill is tremendous
And it's like he's an anchor. He's that lovely. It's like yeah, he really is he's got two wolves in
They now look at it try to make up for the round loss
Little bit in kill out little and you will do a good job of scaring everybody back
It comes through with his doesn't feel like
God you are scaring corners. There's why you into the play and get with by my closet
Who's a already on scene though? And with a spoken front of them
There's a looming threat that somebody passes up against the bomb plant
But now it is down and wonderful freed up trying to plot the better gun
on Eagle at hand, two teammates on half health.
Every fight, the mix, the La Cosa goes big.
Further damage, done on the jabby as well,
so nine health for him to have the somehow-fight impact.
The wonderful's got the headshot point,
black off boozy.
Another one, two, for a strawless to try to tie up the CT side.
Bomb is planted for connector.
And jabby, try to push the issue with the USP.
It's going to be dealt with by wonderful.
There is now the one more for the road.
And what could have been an even eight round T side off of that hooksy d fuse the one round
prior instead to round Lee going into the CT side shades of new.
I think it's like both teams showed us some stuff here definitely it was interesting
actually to see a stroll as perform so well after the tack causes that was probably the
most impressive part but it's a volume problem right now the volume of rounds is just
not there to support the good rounds that we do see in some moments it let go of some
better situations and that's where Nabi really have shown their their
fangs I think it's when they are not expected to win where they they get the
clutches I think they're the ones who are coming up bigger in that on that
front and even though you know I'm crediting right you for his his Frank's
overall half is not that impressive in general so again another ball you're
I'll miss you.
So we'll kick off this next half, and one of those straws have done enough, not without
up this door out.
Two burettas, made on three.
No, the always have a plan, don't they?
I love this crossfire.
Let's see if it works.
I've got the makings of a burettas hold.
Oh, okay, quiet, go!
In the crossfire, out from Sandwich,
mows it down, everybody,
and Navi secure another pistol round win.
You take out, Baretta's that cleanly,
and you think you're out of the woods,
and no, here's wonderful.
Four frag highlight from Sandwich,
completely shut that off on the cross.
Maybe using a couple of backs turned,
it's really what you're asking for with the Baretta,
But as if the first two have their backstern, you know you're shooting for eternity to try
to get the next ones and the headshot clean for the quad.
So your get's warmed up and you're the shooting super quick.
I still think Xibu has the best fire rate to accuracy on her at us.
Yeah.
to and not to. Okay, Jolty, do you. Easy pick-ups here for Kimet.
You back to that quad kills for Navi. One of the pistols, one in the end.
And just see how quickly the game just gets away. It's gone.
And it's like it didn't even really start yet. The second half.
We haven't even seen what Astralis can do yet, but it might already be too late.
That's how Nuke felt. That's how Mirage is feeling and there is um there was a world where we got to over time back on Nuke actually
Astralis they lost to to bid on $300 in a block on that final round. So
You know
We might we could see maybe have come back, but we haven't seen enough
Good we need to know strong rounds overall
First all is to believe they can actually make it happen and losing to way too many force by me goes to me straight up
Hey there, the stair completely caught off and this is critical because it's gun
round for a straw as one of the few that we actually get to see.
We were waiting for this D side to get started and it's already mad down but that's fine.
Folks, he's gone through recovering with the timing out middle, wonderful freedom
up with these angles from ticket deals, deadly amounts of damage, and Ena is hot to the
truck.
Let it get, folks, he's showing us something though, coming through with another headshot.
He's 11 and 9.
Not performer for a straw as long as that's not always a good sign yeah, it's almost always a bad sign. Absolutely
Definitely is today as well no exception
Be sight around thinking to catch them off, but wonderful is locked in folks and that is three rounds consecutive for the CT side of Navi without even an
Astralis bomb plant and I think we're overall just getting a poor performance out of jabby today
Yeah, I think that's somebody. Yeah, true. You know somebody who I feel
We we get a lot of conversations about we could pop off
When then Jabby played on heroic, you know, he was a credist for a while like truly incredible
He was the best player on the team for a while. That was a hard team to really top frag on because of the way they played CS as well and
Expected big things for Gabby man
There's a lot of damage to the player as well as aggressive lurkers, right?
It's not something you get a lot.
Desert Eagle X Spectrum Roman coming through, but is it false confidence for Astralis?
Try to charge down this A-bombsite, you've already got players in position to hold
what's left of Astralis.
That again damage done despite the death.
But he's turned around.
and we have Navi a laughing their way through these last couple of rounds. It is another
no-bomb plant situation. It is another round that just feels like we are being led to the inevitable Navi
two-o today. It does feel like that. It's hard to envision a different ending. You know, I don't
see this being no country for old men right now. Where is the curveball wonders? Where is the plot twist?
Who is the father? Maybe we can. So this is Mori.
Never met this woman. I would love to see Fuzi do the you are not the father dance.
I don't know what he'll have to dance about because this is probably crushing
feeling now for the Charlottes. You let kind of nuke get away from you despite it
feeling competitive in the first half. Now all these ability to just kind of stamp out
Any embers has been excellent today.
The back in action.
Guns back in hand for a stroll.
Is that got anything to show us further today?
I'm doing press.
It's the opportunity by wonderful to kick this off. It's still capitalized on a what looked like fully smoked out window spam from me now
Yeah, it might have been uh, I don't know exactly. I didn't hear any nades. Yeah
It's sometimes it's tricky
You quite a crazy spam there
Nail it and also it's in a flu
Oh, see you
You're gonna catch him.
Get the four me four back.
Get trying to heal away from the ramp and this is
going to go backwards.
Strawler's damage comes out.
And he's not able to hang on to the bomb site.
He comes through with the bug.
All right, four kills for you.
Challenges into that ace site set up by the mid
presence in connector.
He just looked to couple off of that, right?
Be a part of the split.
He ends up being the whole damn thing.
He's just really, really good.
I mean, this is, I mean,
This is, again, not a super solid map overall for him, but I just feel like it's so
faded whenever we watch it.
It's something good.
Yes, it's much more sense.
He just didn't set the spot out a little bit.
That's crazy.
Love it.
Keep it up.
Let's get caught on the cross over.
Well, time for that. Now look, he's gonna try to chase this down.
Earth out on the ship from bottom mid, though, right?
You know, he's the wonderfuls down there, but wonderful finding the smallest gap between the smokes and getting a shot on hooks you before he could fade away.
Lexi B had tucked into the B-bombsite.
All he's got right now is himself waiting for that market player to slowly come over.
A genius P here for me.
Oh, man, Lexi B's gonna spot it. He's got now a set of helping hands and he met.
But there's gonna try to come over, and Eman's got this public board as in-game leader
to really slow it all down.
Jabby scrambling top middle to get bomb possession back, and he just kind of has to do this
on his own.
And that seems fine.
You know, kind of a little lapsing cover there for a Lexi.
This is a moment where you don't even necessarily go to him.
Even though it would be crazy to go A, this is that he's solo on HP, he's attracted
probably two CT's.
He's wonderful coming around the corner, clears this out.
It's a perfect move from Navi.
Topic connector, clears cat, clears connector itself.
And now it will just be re-u here.
Ready to down.
And ready to close this map with it.
The map, the match, it's all queued up now.
One off, round wind through the T side of a Strollist.
They meet their makers in the follow up.
It's another majority alive.
It's another no-bomb plant situation.
So the best thing that we've had through this T side so far
for Astralis, was this, you know, right, 3K off top stairs.
Whether or not you're starting this event, doubting the likes of Astralis and whether
they can challenge what this confirms is that, now they're looking to get 2026 started.
Right.
Clean victory in two maps, despite they're being likes to stand on back on Duke in the
first half is both well for a team that we know in a, you know, it's funny thing to bring
up, but specifically the Swiss groups. Now all best of threes. You can definitely,
you definitely know that Navi, like a their biggest issues, probably motivation that shows
when you get to the major every single time, right? That like they could always play well
thick and quickly wanted to, but you know, maybe wonderful to really consistent overall, but
You know that like this within my year, it will make a huge difference.
I mean, also just huge CRS implications for Clues just timing it in the year.
$1.25 million prize pool.
Not a lot to play for.
And they're playing like they want it here and now and they want it over quickly.
But this 3v5 has something to say.
And so taking back down to the even moment,
it's going to be another one where Ryan will come in with impact.
But the last thing he's able to offer for a strawless.
It is fozy with the clutch attempt.
And he's not able to go through that long jungle lurk
and already Alexi has gone through the bench smoke.
It fades.
The covers here by wonderful.
He's locked in on the ticket challenge.
And so he's waiting for fozy to get in on this.
Alexi has a smoke as well.
Wonderful is going to go for the angle,
but no a bit of coverage for fozy to try to move this in.
We'll find Alexi goes for the spam.
He's got the kitty needs and Navi will kick off Coulouse with a convincing 2-0 best of 3 and a star-studded
Mirage here by Yena 22 kills for his name looking to take the highway to the hometown crowd.
I wish we had that. I think it's from Warcraft. The jobs done.
I need that sometimes for games because I feel like that is the best way to wrap up what we just
have between Navi and the Charlottes.
Convincing when for Navi here on Mirage, obviously we already built it up that a Stroll
is probably let the series slip when they were not able to make a Stroll or a Nuke that
is as competitive as they would have wanted because Navi just looked completely comfortable
on this one. T side, even though they roughly split the half, they, most of the rounds
in terms of the quality, I just feel like they constricted the bomb sites in the way
that I would have expected. Even the way that they piece things up towards the mid-late
round, where it's just in a three on three, two on three, any kind of those situations.
I just feel like they're coming into this tournament looking a lot more in sync than I
saw back at Crackout or the single series at the bounty.
get to stay within kind of the same genre of game. I shall just need additional
pylons. I didn't just didn't have enough in this game to really get much
go. I mean there was some bright moments here and there again. I think
where you had a couple of good moments in it. Stair had his moments on new
can even the spamp as well, but this wasn't enough. I think Navi, they're firing
all cylinders on new. I mean we were seeing everyone really have good performances
there. If they were when you flip over the garage, I mean it was the E-Mon
wonderful show. I mean these two guys were just having so much impact. And again,
you know, this is the value that E-Mons still brings to this team. Again, even if
over all numbers don't leave off the page for the entirety of the event.
He can still have fake series in big games and his opening powers very consistent.
You know, again, he's not the main entry of this team, but now he's always proud of himself
as a team that runs a system where they kind of can get anybody to go for the open.
For them to come in on what they're seeing within the round.
And I think EMA is actually addressing to that pretty well, you know,
making room for my cosy, but still having that, you know, identity of being the former
entry-fragory team.
And when he's called upon to make those moments happen, he still can.
It was a rough start for Navi at the beginning of the start.
The start of fantasy and liquid crack up in the third.
I do think that the start of the series looks a little bit different yet.
It looks like a little bit more synergy is happening within the two more needs.
I feel like we saw some glimpses at crack-out of them being okay, but it's just that it didn't
really manifest into a deep-term at run and they would have wanted it.
I mean, it's hard to draw out too many conclusions from just a single series here, but
I will say, I mean, the Mirage was about as clinical as I would have ever wanted.
I mean, this is kind of the A level game of a novice team.
I think they still have a maybe another gear to hit if everybody's joining the server and
everybody's putting in all the work that they can.
But, I mean, they absolutely destroyed a straws here.
I mean, I don't think this map ever really looked all that competitive.
A couple nice rounds and little moments for the players on a straws, but they couldn't put
together a semblance of a game plan that was going to go toe to toe with does not
be today.
What's there anything a shot is could have done on Mirage to maybe flip the script a
little bit and change the score line?
Yeah, actually I feel like something we maybe kind of gloss over on these desks is kind
of what makes Nabi so powerful on Mirage and really, I mean, I feel like once again, they're
bread and butter of taking mid-controller. You've got a couple guys going top mid, they've
got an email coming from the underpass. They're taking con from you and you got to do something
about it. You look back at the Navi games back at Crackout. There were people that were
pushed, I think it was spirit that was pushing in to ramp, like they would flash
magic or to near into ramp, they would upset bit or wonderful as they're trying to hold
an angle. And there just weren't the disruptions. The straws were kind of playing on their heels
a little bit more. Like, think of the moments that you got from the straws that were nice
on their CT side. You've got re-u multi-fragging from the bombsite. Like, that's not a sustainable
way to beat a knobbete. You have to play on your own terms. You have to play forward into
their faces. You have to try to upset them instead of just playing and letting them
crunch your bombsite and hoping somebody will be free. That's just not going to be a
recipe for success consistently enough. Yeah, I mean, love knobbete to team that prize themselves
on being one of the most technically sound teams in the game and they game playing very well.
They answer you start very well and they come in with an idea of how they want to approach
and they're usually very good executing it. And so you're absolutely right. If you want to be
to be the team like that. You have to find a way to throw a wrench into that. And force them
to scramble, force them to try to cut with mid-round adaptations, or force them to take some
time out, so you might try to figure out what's going wrong. But that pressure wasn't there
consistently. Like, Stairhap, like, maybe one round where he interrupted them in a con, got a
couple of kills, and that was one of the rounds he was successful on. But you're right, it's like
either you need to be taking extremities, fighting for mid, in the mid-round, and being able to take it
back, or, you know, I think the other big thing that really hurts here, I hate to call them out,
out, but you know, Fuzzi, for such a great crackout event, you know, this is a map
where defensive dynamic opting is so important, and that wasn't really there for
them either in the first half, which always makes Mirage a little bit harder to control
and you don't have that, because it's just, it's an opera's paradise map in many ways.
Some of the greatest operas we know just make so much happen defensively on this map,
we just didn't see that here.
I'm a see, I'm a annual screen right now, Romanian fence going wild, because he didn't have
a really good start, and he was, he was the standout on Mirage specifically, but if we
Let's take a look at the series as a whole
who was your stand up there.
It was either him or wonderful.
I think you're picked.
They were both fantastic.
I feel like EMA more so for me on this map.
I know the stats might stay a different picture.
But I thought wonderful was the man of the map on New.
And I thought EMA was the man of the map here on Mirage.
I think by the end of it, you're splitting hairs.
Because they were both excellent.
I will say one funny aspect about wonderful
and what he was standing out for though in this series
is that his pistol, yes.
ridiculous. I mean, I feel like I would be, I mean, I'd be shocked if he had more
rifle and maybe off-fields and pistol kills because I mean, like I'm just thinking about
so many good deal rounds on Nuke. He had the dualies round here. Even the very final round
of his game, he jumps up onto default box. Mrs. the off-shot then whips out the USB to get the final
kill of the series. So I thought that was cool that was clicking maybe I want more from the
the off but I can't complain when he's having that great of a series.
Yeah, I mean, the game like we talked about the idea that, you know, for not being a team
that can be better than some of its parts, it's still nice if one of those parts could
be a start-level player.
Right.
The next game will hold held a lot easier.
And wonderful show that ES like capacity, multiple times throughout his career, most recently
the Budapest major, crack-out, really, really fell off.
If we could just have wonderful final way to idle somewhere in the middle of that, you know,
that would also be like a nice, consistent floor, and then to have ceiling games like this,
I mean, it's always awesome to see that when you go through the fast flicks when you
show it a well-balanced game.
Like, yeah, it's always fun stuff to see him when he's in this in good form.
First game of the day is done.
Now, if you choose at 90, 2, 0 up against the Charlest, but we have three more happening
here on the first stream.
Also, the backup stream is going as well.
If you want to watch some of those games, we're going to take a very quick break.
And when I say quick, you don't have time to go to the bathroom.
So just sit right there.
Wait, when we get back, Mars is up against Paravision.
She said she loves you, but she can't love me.
But I love you.
I won't play window anymore.
Let's go, mom.
Play your voice.
One expat.
One expat.
One expat.
One expat.
One expat.
One expat.
One expat.
One expat.
One expat.
One expat.
One expat.
One expat.
But you're wrong, when it's bad, do you know what?
The human body was built to move.
Not to rounded a test, get one singular posture for 12 hours a day.
It's time, your share, you've all.
This is Secret Laptide from Heva.
I'll be automatically engineered for you.
You, game, are you on this?
I'll give you every move.
We're going to be talking about the sick and game that's coming your way.
It is mouths up against Paravision Dust.
You mentioned it during the break.
mentioned a chair as well, a close-raining champions, they
had to defend their trophy. And it is the only
trophy we've seen Mads lift in the last year despite
them being a team consistently in the playoffs.
You better cover that one. That's the only one in the
cabinet. Right? There's a lot of dust kind of
collected around that one trophy. So that is kind of the
the one precious that you'd like to hold on to. But yeah,
you're right. I mean, this is a team that you know, hit the
ground running when it's finished on the team for that
debut of it and close where they beat Falcons, the
the best of five grand finals, 31, and you don't got everyone really excited for them, but
unfortunately no more titles after that. But 12 top four finishes, so they've always
consistently remained a top five fours in the world, but they had just a team that has
watched other teams pass them by and collect wins while they have not been able to do so.
All those finishes, all those play of runs, we saw this at the major,
The mouse makes the play of hometown here.
The crowd still doesn't get the home.
What is it about this team?
It's like the fans.
I don't want to say they don't exist.
I'm sure there's a mouse fan somewhere,
but it's almost like they just forgot about it.
And the grandest team of things.
It's tough.
I feel like mouse are in a position where
the chatter is that they don't have a lot of aura.
I think that's kind of what captures what's going on with them.
But I just feel like they almost need a brand restructuring again.
I know they changed their logo recently, but I feel like it needs to just be highlighted
that this is just a group of guys.
Like people should be able to identify with somebody on mow's, but it doesn't feel like
those personalities are always brought to light completely.
The fact that this is just an average group of gamers who suddenly just kind of got good
over the course of time that they were brought up mostly through the Academy system.
There's little aspects to like about them, but without lifting trophies, it's hard to
really get that story picture perfect where you want it with the fairytale ending. So maybe
they need to build off of the fact that yeah they had a lot of comfort when they played
in clues last time around. But I need to see a little bit more. I need to see a little bit more
fire because other than Torzi it's hard for me to say that anybody is extremely likable on the
team. I don't even know what to say because I agree with you but I feel dirty agreeing with you.
I would also say this, just own up to any little aspect of personality that you haven't
said to try to sweep it under the rug and say that Zipnix wrote on your Twitter account.
There we go.
I mean, one of the stats here, Dase and Swarse to Change.
I think the only other team to extend this is vitality, which I wouldn't change anything
on vitality right now.
I wouldn't change anything on mouth.
They're making consistent playing off friends, does?
That's always the tough spot.
I feel like mouth upon themselves that precarious position where what you have now is good enough
to make you a top 5 team in the world. It's good enough to get you into playoffs, it's
good enough to get you into sending finals, even a couple of final appearances here and
there, but it's so far it has not been enough to be able to place trophies over a team like
Vitality, who's been so dominant, a fury that came alive towards the end of the second season
of last year. You know, they've watched teams pass them by unfortunately. It's that tough spot
where it's like, you could argue they need to make a change because they hit their ceiling,
What they're sealing is already in such a good spot if you battle it too much, maybe they split down the cutting board instead of growing.
Here's another team that's lifted a trophy recently, obviously our blast, bouncy winners,
pair of vision, tough run, went through some of the favorites, I'm still gonna ask the question.
Was it a bit of a flu? Were they just lucky that it was the start of the season?
I don't think that pair of visions could be winning another tournament for the remainder of these six months,
but there were team that is put themselves into the conversation as being a dark horse.
The bounty wing came at the perfect time for them when you have an eccentric style one that's
somewhat harder to game plan against one where James really just, I mean, he's just going
to hammer any defensive weakness that he sees until you make an adaptation.
And if you don't, then he's just going to keep going to it till you break.
So I like that they have gotten a trophy in their back pocket because it shows that this is a team
that's not to be tripled with, but it's one where I think now that teams are game planning
for them a little bit more as we saw and rack out than the cracks start to show even for them.
It was a nice path to watch because I mean, at the end of last year, they were doing all the
right things. They were dominating online in ECL. They won a small regional land, and then they
had a pretty good run through the first few stages of the Budapest major. So they did all the
right things to kind of give them some momentum. Then they seized the opportunity to have last
bounty. They caught a spirit team who's you know, bringing matches and bonds they expected to
the roster and you know, making matches in IGL. It's a lot of variables and play there.
It took an answer that and won that by off game.
Then they beat Furia, which was just legit.
You can't even put an astrus on that one.
That was Furia in full force, and they were able to beat them.
But then Falcons, that's them using a stand in nucleons for, you know,
that whole best of five final, in the guy who had virtually no experience, right?
So there's a lot of caveats with that win,
and then crack-call was a complete blunder going in dead last place.
And I would agree with, now I don't think another trophies in their future,
unless they win like a smaller event or the fields not stack,
but it's like find somewhere in the middle to arrest that.
You know, at least seeing them be like a consistent playoff team will be nice.
They're just going to be annoying for some of the top teams.
I think that that's kind of James thing, all right.
That they'll come in, yeah.
And they'll just shake things up a little bit time and time again.
Do you think?
It's one where if you do not have a vitality level of airproof defense that he's just going
to hammer you.
I mean, I feel like the way that he dispatched of some of those better teams say the spirits
and the furious and even Falcons to an extent is that he just hammered the bombs
we just play. So I think a lot of this
this series is going to come down when we go
through these maps a little bit more
closely that look at who is the lowest
rated player on CT side and just watch
out because if James just targets you
every single time, you better make an
adaptation. Yeah, I mean kind of glossed
over the veto can just call it exactly
how we thought it would. I mean, it's the
promo bands coming out. It's the favorite
picks coming out. There's really been
no surprises in this pick band. But
we got to be right. Like the one thing
that I like about Paravision is that
James always been known as like a super
pass a force, you know, the CT size or your gamble stack is save if you're not in the right spot.
It can be very annoying to follow in the whole Jane time means, but here's the deal.
Jane still gets a lot of value out of players that don't have big names, which is huge.
He still gets his numbers, at least he's a stable opting force in a world where we have a lot of
streaky operas. And you know what, I actually like their T size. They're explosive.
As you said, they will try to attack your weaknesses when they find them. And they will,
you know, hit you with these fast plays. And I think that note, uh,
and Z-Lo in particular have looked like fun aggressive rifling prospects to keep an eye on going forward.
So, they're a fun team. That's for sure no matter where the results are going to fall down that.
I would have loved to spoken about us too a little bit, but you know what,
we're going to stop talking in stock game. The way it should be done. Indeed.
Yes, man. Thank you, Sam. Thank you, analysts. And, oh sorry. I walked away way too soon.
That wasn't me talking. Londer is taken away. Just waiting for Hugo again.
Yeah, I think what's awesome about this matchup is just how high level this could be.
Paravision and and now I mean, mows they potentially lose their last tournament because
stage nerves they don't play up to their potential or whatever. We know how good they're going to be in the stage of
Clues. How fired up they're going to be. They were it's a lot of talk about how how the atmosphere feels like it's
changing on males and that, you know, I mean, they just, I think they're getting used to the
fact unfortunately, this sad reality that they're not one of the most popular teams when it
comes to the stage portion, and they don't care about that. They're trying to detach themselves,
we're having to worry about it. I feel like Paravage and René and C.M. that finish never cared
about that at all. They're all just surprised that they have the, you know, they go to Brazil,
and for some reason James, the most popular guy that's like, how does that even have it?
It makes no sense. But for the group stages to get to the playoffs, for the quality of C.S.
that mouse bring, they are going to be incredibly strong, I think in this game, but I don't expect
pair of vision, just be easy to push over.
Last bounty champions versus what was, a lower tunnel set up here between the
bounds. Oof, Spinx is actually the one correct up he's had shot, search is going to connect his
and pair of vision plans of taking over tunnels have gone horribly. There's they're all dead
inside of this. Jain will take over the aceite.
Bomb can maybe take a swing at the cross, but it's a long road for
his way to have to even have a chance at making that cross happen.
Luckily, he has the smoke for this, and if Jain's flashbang is
coupled with that, then maybe they're able to get over, but it feels like
Mao's understand was coming their way. Three players at this aceite
will James position in the corner to go unnoticed.
That's incredible. Of course, it does. Oh, in the world.
Shoot's one of the backroll and catching it on the cross over. Jain
trying to reach for that gun. And if you can gun down Broland now that be one thing, but
Broland taking position in smoke. It's already from Jane. He'll still find the frag. And
the clutch is on. Jame. One frag left. Two K to each of these players already, and
Spinks has gone silent in CT spawn. And Spinks has been so good. You know, Cliver
equivalently here to Jane. He's got a lot of time to play with and Jame with time. That's
It's a dangerous prospect.
Well, we'll go down the single, so he's splitting the difference.
He's not sure if it's patterned long.
I wonder if CT's on a greater, all right.
Now he's watching for it.
Spakes walking up, and he's doing it quietly, but James testing the limit of this ramp
peak.
It starts to have second thoughts, goes back.
Spakes, he forms it, he hits the bush.
And now his James got this last player down to three health.
His clutch from Goosebumps to gather.
And of course, Paravision went around like that, immediately in this game, because when
And we talk about Paravision from talk to bottom,
the X-Factor, these un-dying moments
for J-M and Paravision as a team.
It's just a classic Paravision moment out of the gate.
It really is.
I do think, I mean, it's kind of,
the place is amazing having, you know,
playing from Goose in that way from J-M
and how he squeezes that out till the end.
The fact that's the way he gets that kill full blind
has to adjust his crosshair.
the flash hits him. It's like four seconds full blind and he still finds it. They kind
of have both here an amazing play as stroke of lock and it coalesces for the two Vx. I
will have to have Mel's try to answer back with a foreself. It's being sent off all
us.
They're vision coming in today to put the squeeze on mows, raining, defending,
collusion of poker champions, by the way. Right, whatever, that's worth.
Yeah. They did win that one, guys. They did win it.
I have seen mows with my old eyes, lifted trophy in this city.
But now the problem for them is that the competition includes just
punch a plan in 2026.
Jimmy's
T-Doll is gonna find the first and the second.
And so stuck to put a test on caravishing within this bombsite.
And P-Dine bullets come whizzing through.
Tores you scout.
Rage through the target.
But he misses his chance of strike down the ramp.
And now that bomb is flanked found out.
Man, it's gonna panic.
But it's gonna panic.
Oh, that's fine by Paravision standards.
How's he talking to Samo?
Always willing.
to take it down to the wire-paramish and rolling across the board.
But towards the scout, I mean, this is where you want the SMG.
Scouts are defined all the way down.
Unfortunately, for towards the no contact in that round means it's going to be the conversion off of the pistol.
Two-zero the start from pair of vision, despite Mao's best efforts and all of that position on site.
It's just not enough to push it over the line.
The smoke is kind of hilarious right there.
to throw that right on him, but it's also the perfect play.
Paravision skate by another.
Somehow, Jane gets two kills, where I'm 100% sure he's about to get traded.
And yeah, like you said, raining defending, and it's also
malice who there's no concerns about how good they can play C.S.
I mean, some of the setups, some of the protocols, some of the tactics they pull off,
it's just the best of the best, you know, they really are.
There's so strong, it's just that the field is also incredibly powerful.
If you put mouser one of the teams that if you scrolled back a few years,
they would just have like a dominance period straight up.
You know, they're definitely that good.
But now we're in a world where a pair of vision off the back of the major,
gained enough VRS to be able to compete in event like this.
And now I've even come into this year,
grab that opportunity by the horns.
One, the bounty and are actually a threat for a deep playoff run.
similar sort of power level to what Malishota's the last time they were here, except now you've got none of the top 10 teams here.
That's funny with Paravisions still kind of being ranked as they are being seated as they are.
It's like, they're not, you know,
But no matter who it is, I feel like if you see the day the opening games are announced
and you see pair vision, you're like damn it we're going to have to work.
You know, you're kind of how to work out.
I would never want to play them.
I know even with the head to head going in the favor of a Charlest like they saw that match
up and they're like, okay we got this.
Yeah.
But if you're a pair of it you're like, oh man, these were all you're gonna get close.
We're going to have to win all those clutches.
You know you're inevitably in those moments, like hell we get baby seals.
Yeah.
Waking you up at 3 a.m.
And it's like, you know, if it was a two-two game, it doesn't matter who your opponent is,
you're waking up and you're ready to go deep and get gritty for that fight because it's
when everything matters. But in a Swiss group with three best of three, before you're eliminated,
you see Paravision, every team wakes up. They want that opening game to go as quickly and smoothly as possible.
Yes. And there's no world where Mao's got it a bed today and thought,
yeah, it's gonna be a quick one. Yeah, it's gonna be quick, this will be smooth.
And it's not because James, you know, playing old James Counter Strike either,
It's just because these rounds where things are pushed to the limit.
Caravision pad of this undying essence.
We had that kind of crazy stop-back-it.
They're on flats.
Like even on their opponent's map picks, they lose more 4v5 or they win more 4v5s.
Then for anybody else.
Oh, look at that.
There it is.
Crazy.
And you just sit there,
scratching your head like how,
but how,
it's just this essence.
This is always unquantifiable essence
the pair of vision hat. If you could bottle it and sell it,
well, Jake would be a very rich man, still let's do it.
Sure, yeah, right now rich as well, 5 and 0 kick off. As it's going to be another
challenge into the ace site, plenty of bodies over the ramp, plenty of pistols to try
to throw something up and it, but ah, nobody overstepping just yet,
And his are absolutely any world in which this is quick and easy for perivision.
Ooh, I like that.
I can consider that.
I didn't consider it because we know what mouse do.
Yeah.
I don't see it slide.
Now it's made playoffs.
I still don't think so.
So I don't know if you have kind of found that ability just yet to stop. Never have that really
I mean when they made their deal with the devil I think
When Jay made that blood by night throw you a major. I might throw you a tier one victory, but it's gonna be close. Yeah
That's fine
James happy to dance with the devil.
You know why?
Cause you got that immortal technique.
It's just so nice to have him back.
Who was I think it was maybe Yanko and kind of discussed that after the major.
He was a tweet.
I saw it was just like, you know, how many people of James age?
And people who have had the accolades like James did would be willing to go into essentially like a year-long boot camp winning like living with the team to try to make that run for Budapest.
How many other guys would just think that they, you know, are kind of better than that at that moment?
James is a wife.
Yeah.
They all have, they all have stuff like this thought held as a start.
He's a grown-ass man.
You sure?
Yeah, he's got things to do, but well, yeah, but they, they, they committed to it.
not because they were just doing a job where they could collect the salary. They did it all in.
It's actually only 32. I mean, he's coached. So some of the coaches get a bit up there.
I just feel like he's also just been around forever.
Sure.
Never the last grown-ass man.
No spring chicken and they are all, they have all committed.
I think I think of the bounty, you know, I think he said, thank you to my wife because
I'm literally never home, even though I could be in the boot camp portions of the year.
Yeah, right in between.
There's no air-viewed in Swedish, but I was having a hard time translating it on Twitter, but I think he said something like
we never get, when do you ever rest?
Another one of those cool game folks, when is there ever time for rest?
Yeah, yeah, and if you are bootcamping every time you're not at a tournament
That is not
Service of that's not a serviceable life for most people. No
In the world, you know, but it's working
Jame of legaments because he's also married to the game and I think you had to know that when she became his second life
You had to know, but this man ain't no cheer.
Yeah, you can make it work, I tell you.
And we've got him back in 2026.
Who knew that James was coming back with a vengeance?
You know who knew of Thoues?
Because you can only play it on VP.
They were just getting all the VRS points and everyone was like,
this can't be right.
There ain't no way James team is in the top 10 right now.
Sure, they knew all along.
I think there was a period as well where, you know, James was, whether it was on
Parvolution or not, but like him and Dawson actually just, they weren't together as
well.
And I think that had to, that had to happen again for all of this to come back together
I believe.
You know, they kind of, it's funny that they give each other so much credit, but they will
also be the first to admit like, well, we disagree.
Like we clash.
Yeah.
We don't, we're not always on the state, but you have something here that works, you know,
and probably works in the past with Brutus Pro now with Paravision.
Like you can't doubt the process when the results can speak for themselves.
And Destonis said that he even more and more sort of just like the James,
do what he thinks is right, essentially, works more and more on the prepping supporting him.
But like the longer the relationship goes on, it feels like it gets stronger.
I mean, I think, because you got, I mean, J.
I don't know how strong his personality is, but he's the
IGL of this team. He's the heart of this team in terms of
the way they play. And just on his there, it feels like to
make sure all of James teammates do what he needs. 100%
what it feels like when you're at it, you're a
tournament to watch them play. It's funny, you know,
James clear leader. Obviously, so important to it all,
but I remember whenever you ask an interviews, it's a
dangerous, it's always a dangerous game with the, it was
You know, because you ask, well, what did you say to them when you had
especially when teams have to dig deep and wind these close rounds and you
can't lose focus and you can't have any self-doubt because that's
when you start to lose those incredibly tight rounds, those those those
critical points where Paravision do pull through so consistently you
want to ask, Jame, how do you do it? What is it you say to them for
everybody to believe and I remember multiple times Jame will just
respond with, oh, I say nothing. Yeah, right. They've got to figure that out
on their own.
And it's such a weird contrast when I feel like,
funnily enough, a team like Mao's who
cyclone seems to be the kind of coach.
It's right there to build you up, not just as a player,
but kind of as a person.
You know, you rub your shoulders.
You'll be the first guy to whisper in your ear.
You got this big guy, you're not defined by one long.
Whatever it is, you know, he really builds them up as people.
And James, not there to do that.
Build yourself up.
Are you eating well?
Well, more than just sleeping well.
I don't think Jane is keeping track of these things.
You just need you to perform the server.
I think there might be a bit of conjecture on my park,
but I also feel that that style means that the building up
happens before the match is live,
and that you're not trying to learn new things when it's live.
And you're failing mentally for failing whenever.
Maybe I could say some words that'll let you get you back
in order, but for the most part, this game was over
before it started.
You're coming into the match prepared in our style of camp.
if it's going to be just on with whatever he says to the players where he's way more
vocal or if it's going to be jammed in practice saying like get your act together while
we're playing your kinder for example once you can do side on the mic didn't practice
and jame almost kicked him off the team for it so his attitude does matter but that was an
moment that happened in a live match I'm pretty sure you can do mention that it was like
like he told me to give me a warning and said you never let that happen again.
And then whatever, but there's no, like, punishments of scolding, no, whatever.
Wow, it's, while the map is alive, all the prep happens before.
And that's, and that's why I feel like they are so unflappable.
You see them in these moments, they're the ones who get all the extractor rounds.
Why? Because they're not nervous.
They either, they lose, because they're not as good as the other team, but they never lose
because they get shaky.
Yep, it doesn't happen.
It's funny.
You know, we always kind of put it, we put it in this like pedestal that a team that
never give up and has the ability to make comebacks is this like kind of it's this gold standard
and
funnily enough per vision a team that does make incredible comebacks and doesn't go down
i remember back on bounty when they played a new bus they were getting stomped out of the server
and then a team's beat clip came out i think it was about your maybe it was crack out but they're getting
owned on a new bus and jame of all people
is clip saying guys we didn't practice this damn map to hell with a new bus like let's just let's
Let's get it over where.
Right.
And you're not allowed to just give up,
but essentially you do.
Yeah.
And so this person who is so good at always making games
tight and pulling off victories,
it's also the same guy that will turn around
and just be like, nah, this one's a one.
He was energy max.
Yeah, like, let's just let it go.
And so it's, you know, that's why we,
I kind of say it's like, it's this like
unquantifiable essence because everybody would
want to be the team that can fight for every victory.
Yeah.
And you want to know how that works
and how you're able to do it yourself,
but how do you get a read on a guy like James
when he's also just willing to get up to the last
and you'd expect him to say, yeah, it's so hard
to put your finger on this guy.
Well, I think that does make sense
in lining up with other things.
He said it's that, you also kind of stamina maxes,
you know, like you talked about that,
like at Rio, he famously talked about how tired he was.
It's just very blatantly sand,
as I was exhausted mentally, physically,
same thing after the food is passed.
same thing even at the bounty it's just they amount of crap in between matches and
the way they do it takes of a lot of time and so I mean hey you get an extra 30 minutes
by throwing a map and but you still know or think you're going to win the series
is the most important right?
The new bus was the third map in that series you can never say something like that but
Yeah, let it go and on to the next.
It's funny, we've had like few characters like this in Counter Strike, but I mean, James
One, Cady, and One, we've always kind of described them as like a cult leader, you know,
because you have to buy in.
Yeah.
And there's not one teammate that James ever had that I feel like has gone on record to be like,
no, that guy's got no clue what he's saying.
No, I've only ever heard people call him a genius.
And when you look at people who are able to successfully escape cults, once they're out,
They always say like, I don't know what I was thinking.
That was crazy.
It's only when you're in it that you believe it.
But afterwards you just kind of, you have to admit it's insanity.
I mean that.
Yeah, with James once they're out, they're like, God, I wish I could go back.
True.
You know, actually great points.
Just the best call.
Call it.
You have to believe it to be in it or else you're cut.
Yeah.
Yeah, Cadians called not so much.
Back out fiery afterwards.
That's true.
But when they were in it,
yeah, that was what you told us true.
Totally.
He croaked 20, 20s, look, and good.
I was true.
Cadian really was the cult, I guess.
No, no, I think, you know,
this is also a cult, it's just a good one.
Oh, it's a good one, yeah.
Okay, we're just getting, we don't want to give a cults
a bad name as long as James is around.
And the first cult that's actually right,
we're going to look like fools
The biggest sign of the call was when famed in the interview and he said,
people always ask me what's it like playing with James weird play style?
Hmm, and I always respond, I have no idea.
This is just normal for me. I've never played with anyone else.
And that's why James always works so well with the guys that you haven't heard of yet.
Yes, yeah. You've got to build, yeah. He's got to be able to build them up from the get-go.
Yeah, almost.
You know, only if you guys, I could put Tom Cruise in a cult, because the most part, you've
got to get random Joe's.
100%.
And Vertus Pro aren't here, so we can talk about them openly, fame and flip.
I wonder where they sit at the moment, thinking about this Paravision, watching Paravision
now get the top 10 rank, I mean, Vertus Pro are in an identity crisis at the moment, right?
They're losing to teams they never should.
you've kind of, you've shaken off the electronic problem.
Yeah.
And yet still now you're in this huge rebuilding phase,
but the electronic problem is what cost you
game to begin with, and now you're just where you are.
How do you get back and you're watching the guy
you probably always believed in.
You know, it never felt to me like fame and flip.
We're turning their backs on Jane.
It felt like the organization made a move.
Yeah.
And what are they going to do?
They're going to try to follow through with it
electronics accolades at the time still speak for themselves, but I always wonder when
when an X-T-Nate of James sees him do this again and you think, am I past my prime?
Could I still get back into this?
Can you be a shallow or a bell-chernock now in 2026?
It's guaranteed to have those thoughts until they win, until they win, that's the big thing.
I mean, that's what you can do talk about, too, right and can only imagine the thoughts
I went through his head until they started winning with Fury.
I know it's just probably all of no.
That's okay.
We didn't kind of fix his all that for sure.
Fortunately, it can be the only solution.
And again, for Malice, all I can think is they were just born,
a little too late.
It feels like the capitalized on their peak because like,
and that was the same for Falcons last year.
They probably would have picked up extra victories
if not for vitality.
Mouse would have picked up extra-actors for all the vitality.
It was kind of only spirited and theory that could weave in there and get some extra victories.
The mouse just went head-to-head right when vitality in the vitality in their matches and the finals.
And they pushed up too. They did.
I just didn't actually get the wins.
And, like, everyone's going to have a peek in a trough and multiple within your team and your career.
And that's why we always talk about peaking at the majors and trying to aim for it, like the late always, master play does every season, whether or not, but but one things for sure is like your grand beaker overall top consistency.
That just will not last forever if you don't make a blitz. Sure. You're not going to keep your teammates.
You are not going to be able to go through all the practices, all the losses, eventually that will wear down on you eventually people leave your roster.
It melts our endanger of that if something doesn't.
100%.
I mean, there were so many rumors swirling around them, changing, coming into 2026.
But nothing did happen.
And well, nothing's happening right now.
So we're going to throw you guys to a break.
We're going to fix this here, team speak issue,
and we'll be back soon enough.
40 lead for Paravision out of the gate on Dust2,
opening day of PGL, Cluesha Boka.
Welcome back, folks to the Mows Paravision opening game of day one here at Clueshtapoka.
It's 3-0 for Paravision, leading on Dust 2 over top of Mows.
We've sorted out the issues, Mo.
We've stamped out all the fires, we put Maui Snake back in his cage, and it's time to
get back into the game.
I don't know if I can get him a burger, of course.
We keep him well fed, he likes it here, he's straightened behind that door.
Alright, well let's see if this changes anything.
I feel like he can really kill momentum versus this team, but it's like a mad, it smells
active.
Bellch-knock opens up here and round four with a kill towards long.
Down goes brawl and we want to get a little frisky there, huh?
Taking a rope and a dual towards doors and gets blasted for it.
So maybe they're not playing keyball right now.
Instant for a grat.
It's gonna keep snakes cut off.
Door still smoke though, by mouses own doing.
We're going to get this triple up inside of the tunnels, but there's a minute here,
so nobody's making moves just yet from their vision.
So they've identified the impact as the weakest nose player.
Let's see if they regret that.
The drops of smoke in front of them, they're still going to bounce through that.
Weak utility chip you off of the window, it's going to spline too away, but now it's
over to the USP.
Go to catching one, and Zello's going down with nothing to show for it, so Spick's diving
into the bombsite. That's great with Tuck Hill. That's caught. The Jamie would tell us
team made about that, right? James 8 and 0 for the record and he is one kill into
this one versus three. We're going to take plant to peek into CT. He knows that both
players were hard committed over towards that. We say bomb down they start to make their
move. Oh, James is alive. Lucky to be alive at that rate. Still worried about long but the
threats.
It's getting closer and that should be too.
He knows that the first player to shoot him could not got that close already to check
me if utility confirms it.
They're going to go for the ramp control already trying to breathe down James neck
easy to cover this shot and with it missed opportunity.
Now is on the board for rounds into play.
There's some players in like how do you get away with all that James survived?
He just walked out into the middle of the open, walked back and didn't die and then
Jumped up, didn't die.
Jim Pat, also another guy always gets his.
Sure. He's there inside of B flash, smoke coming everywhere.
They know exactly where he is in the window.
Still gets his spray.
Bye.
And because of pair of visions,
putting his eye on the roof.
Now he brought it up.
They carted it.
They carted it over the worst player.
They got a cute little light.
Why wouldn't every team do this?
They just picked the site where the worst player
is to go there every round.
But versus mouse,
That's kind of hard to do, sure.
And one of the most evenly stacked teams in Top 10.
Who's their worst player, Connor?
Can you even say rolling?
Next.
It's got a hard job.
He's got a hard job.
Jokes aside.
Okay, well, let's see if they go long.
He was the first death last round.
That's true.
That is a very good point.
Tours is here to help them this time around and unfortunately for pair vision not a lot of tools for the job that one flash goes out
I'll try to push numbers strong in the elbow for the bomb plan
Just getting the bomb plan's great, but towards me this chance to getting the easy kill now you've got to get the re-take going
Jumping to CT
How many of the gravity guns they haven't gotten any kill so far so far?
all this retake well underway
swiftly slicing through
parvison in the post-plat
but parvison only came to the
asite for one thing and that's the
bomb plant the cash that comes with it.
That much they secured
now's cut that lead down to a single
round.
It's great when both teams can win
in their own ways here.
So a little bit of success.
And don't let that get
at a hand despite one missed
one missed off shot. It's fine. I think Males are just happy to have recovered after
their, their team speed issues and then are playing well.
A couple of awkward rounds to begin. Yeah, clear your shots out of the camp already.
It's going to start to put a little pressure on paravision individually to kind of step it up
Okay, Jane gave them this grace period with the kip off camp. I mean, it's been some time. So it's carefree for now.
Oh, this the round is also a huge recovery for Paravision. Thanks to Jamel.
And uh, well, laser, your boost just got beat.
Zillow, coming through with the headshot.
PEN.
No one would be.
No plans to go there.
I think this would be so impressive if they somehow trick Paravision and get away with
this heavy of a stat.
But it looks like they won't.
Oh, this is so cool.
That is absolutely no way to trick them.
It's crazy how clear this is to Paravision.
They know without a shadow without. This is the fastest they've ever moved.
I actually missed it. When did that end up being a 4A set?
It's a towardsy dot on the boost on cat was there.
And anyone in B already?
There had to be a fast one that rotation happened.
We're watching laser beams fly out of lower tunnels.
I kill so quick the only reason I say that is because if someone had cheated over
early Parish and could have yeah so check out the door and smoke sit in the parks
okay door smoke yeah I like it didn't work but they say four
It's fine to saving four and around where you just one with five players alive as well.
Really fine.
So there are 24 rounds in regulation after all.
We move through another one.
So, let's go back up and play the game through this game.
You can see Spakes working back door trying to both get it, but also give some fake
game.
Don't have to go back across.
Where was the last time?
Where's the lead?
You can actually see that Bowser.
If the time is trying to do the same thing again, but they pulled guard on long.
They're really just focusing it on mid.
This could be a full on retake once this flat comes out.
Perfectly timed as well.
But not against the kill.
Somehow.
Dorothy, Rebecca, eat the T flash.
The middle of all that.
I don't know how to get away with the flag.
But theory is set on fire.
Two players coming down into it.
Okay. He's firing by back.
Towards the side arms, gonna finally put notes on down.
Bomb currently cut off because towards the holes this, but as he starts to stomp back on cat.
Jane, slow burn, comes through with the kill that opens up the sight for the most part.
Spinks is still here, but as he goes into that smoke grenade, that's the chance for Jane to now push that bomb upwards.
Jane goes through the flashbangs out. Spinks is looking to strike.
The second spins comes through back turn to don't you know and that is gonna be a heaven one
For paravision you'd up do sometimes notice and it's just scary how's it going to read it?
Oh, no his his his his HSB sometimes. It's actually he's just like nine kills in a row all headshots
I mean he had to be full blind. Yeah, he got flash. He jumped into the corner in an active desperation to get away
But when you need when you have good crosshair placement, you don't need a monitor
That's what the peripheral guy I don't want you to know. Okay. It's one of your
bolder claims. No modern or needed. If you're good enough. Because when we
look at this it's all just gonna be this preset main. Shorts, is muscle memory and
in his positioning. Maybe he didn't have to move his crosshair. We'll see what he did.
I'm like wondering if he had regained some vision, but I swear he ate that flash so fully.
We'll check it out.
Oh, no, no, no, no, it's not a crosshair placement.
And like a lot, just the right amount of luck.
You know what, he wasn't even that blind.
It's just the right amount of luck.
That's actually a very important thing to bring up right here.
The VRS forecast pair vision getting to a top three ranking if they win.
So how long works?
ranked fifth, one series, currently ranked fifth, one series over now is,
or they hire your ranked in them now? I think after crack I'll be back down, crack
over on and back down to earth, bouncy sight is a pity atmosphere, they're here too
over the now, but that would jump from that many spots.
No, that's, there's about 100 something one's difference.
In the B-Bombs lane, no try and attempt to get me again.
We'll go down with one, but you got Spings locked into the car.
And Spings is full vision, here to hit the headshots.
Ours can come wide and die to search the booth.
Last to the scene, and we've got a noto 1v3, one kill deep all ready.
Takes that late play out through a middle bomb possession for a search and over on site.
Let's note as move.
Could have left through the tunnels, but
Broland tucked into CT spawn behind that smoke with tiny exertions gonna have to start to consider tunnels
Smoke grenade gonna alleviate that threat and you know what I think Broland is gonna have a lot of pressure to not move actually
Oh, he's in the right spot
Oh, my god, sir. She's right there. What are you doing?
Because assertion finds his second of the round an efficient trade train inside of the bomb site back in fourth one
insertion got there. I thought Noto was forgetting something but he actually shoved himself into the door so he couldn't be visible from either side
That was so smart and then still got his kill facing into CT. Oh, nearly put put that together
Don't think something a little late want to time out
Beautiful attempts and a classic example of how pervasion will push the limits of all of these kinds of scenarios, right?
clutch factor. That's one of the things with the roster move coming into 2026. We thought
to ourselves removing a W who back at the Budapest major showed a lot of clutch
factor. But like how can you take away this late round impact? This is going to cost you
in the tight games. But it feels like it's across the board sometimes with
pair of vision. James and obvious answer, but that clutch attempt right there. I mean,
that's enough to keep mows on their toes and your eyes at home glued to the screen.
every round with pair of vision you've got to keep your eyes peeled. I'm really
liking the test of mouseware. Again, they're so even-handed. And in typically
pair of vision they're just going to be versus almost everybody. But in
this game they're just not going to be able to get away with the game plan like
that. It's going to have to be a bit more fair with more balance.
We'll cap present Spain early on, you'd tell me through pressure back on T.ello.
the
is a site once they got long to go with it
the son of a year to get in front of that mall
is the other recler cat and that's now put
a men's pressure on this
a site because they don't know about what's
happening at long here
and broling and I don't think you know
how to call it is exactly the difference
and per vision of themselves and
very very scary position
they're facing the B as well and the
other smoke comes in on cap of this one's
more of a bluff they're just hoping
No one comes through.
Like this.
They don't have the control they have.
This is that this is all they want to hold one guy in CT and then go 5-B2 on the site and now they've got to move.
For the wire, but they know it.
They've got a good idea.
Oh, they've got to go back.
Yeah, missed utility.
And now Torch is the way back up.
It's the two shots on this approach.
The bomb up.
It's still too long.
It's way forward.
Walk, kill, stop.
Four on the clock.
Nobody starts the plan.
I think they missed this.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
Double wire there.
And once, Torsi dies, it felt like an open road to the bomb site.
It was.
Yeah, they just need to go plant.
Yeah.
They maybe didn't know if there was one more guy for sure.
And there was a guy on long back out traded.
He just had to believe it was going to get traded.
You've lost the luxury of the thing.
Torsi is kind of wipe and sweat ups for head here because that was
It's not a great round by him on the hold, and it was one where Paravision nearly just
they just lost themselves.
And Jane, in his rough, safe, missed a flashback, big time, and he could held it for a
second.
He's right back to it.
Yeah.
It's been pretty rough lunches, just sitting down here in middle, just kind of jumping around
to the side going out in the last round, probably he was kind of being a bit aggressive.
James has been ready for that duel from Torsy.
Notice going to find the headshot on the spings out mid and pair a vision looking to
make up for the lost round of the last round.
Walk through the CT smoke shortly after you all guard.
But this is what an evacuation towards a B-bombsite A is.
Why am I for the taking it again?
They're watching this actively.
They're listening to it.
They have long control.
But players hear each other stop it.
But Sershin wins the duel on Sway.
There's kind of no reason for his way to go fast there.
Maybe they heard Sershin running back as well.
They're getting really messy now.
Yeah.
Things are falling off.
That was kind of free as a way of strength to see that because no middors wasn't smoked.
And they had just quickly ran two guys back as if Paravision were set up in upper tunnels.
But they obviously weren't.
Careful.
Trying to go the way the Ginny mouse will remain active in all of that scrambling
Xershin over to the A-site picking up his two individual duels. Yes, zero trade potential. It was just an emergency
It's a Zershin just had a frag his way out and a pair of vision made two massive mistakes thereafter
I think they were almost confused at how obvious this looks
That makes sense with this game sitting on Xbox on a safe boss. There's two guys
Guys, rotate the climb to get to be, he's like, wait, are they going to save?
Like you said?
I can't know the round, but it's been a little bit of an extension to that moment, the exertion's like,
no, I gotta run back.
Your surprise is not a better time out of the pervolution of the moment like this.
There's like, that's usually the kind of like sloppy situation that does not seem to be on top of.
But, not needed.
Paravision.
What was, once a 5-2 lead is now a tied game for Mouses 3 rounds in a row here.
One that comes through by a half second.
Clock is not played to Paravision's favorite.
I'm not sure if he's going to pick up the freebie.
So it's a scary whiffs for Torzzy, so far it is.
Get about now.
Over on day one.
Defending Clues and Apoca champions.
Did anyone say Mao's get the cheese when they went?
Well, we're the guys that talk when they went, so it wasn't either of us.
I didn't think of it last year.
No, this year I'll be ready.
Okay, please don't.
Please don't say that.
Stinks like a win here.
Oh, and it's Swiss.
Oh, he's cooking folks.
He's getting better and better.
He's cooking and he's still got another 12 days.
Oh, the chain has been on one dude.
14 and 5 so far the T side.
We talk about the town to the right.
We'll talk about the town to the right.
dream of a six-six-half-a-life, and as he opens up again with a man advantage, Zello,
four and ten on the half, gets killed at lower tunnels and helps out something to work with.
Elchinoff versus Drollin' and Surgeon, Drollin' and not coming at this duel alone, but neither
Eustelchin' off with time until the end, as James gets caught fumbling around with utility
his down now to twenty-six-half-a-half.
It was really strange fights, strange timings, the double push was the final plan we can
off of that.
All right, the air vision take a look inside a middle, as they do, no one's playing
playing close-up, are they going to be ready for an upper tunnels push that I think they
are?
I like the activity that mouths have been kind of flowed in the air vision way,
throw and pushing the CT smoke to bring back that loads of drag, friagnates, landing
perfectly, double up inside the car.
The next piece of support, limited, but that's fine.
You get two of that shot, Spinks is gonna catch Jame Unprepared for a second player, and with that, there goes searching.
Again, activity out of Mous in the face of these moments, they get active.
They remain on top of Paravision, despite their attempts to move elsewhere on the map, and it nets Mous this clean 5 round streak for the 7-5 half.
Definitely a little uncomfortable when it's like, now we just need to rush.
And then typically in a spot like that, you want to make their team suffer a little bit
more.
You don't want to get hit by a fallback grenade, walk into a spam, no chance to trade.
You want to really set up perfect spacing.
You want to avoid all the counter-util.
Everyone's a little bit low.
So that last situation's a little rushed.
They're inversely low for Mao's.
It's perfect.
To me, gets a little bit of a fight and doesn't die.
They fall back to perfect spots to defend for potentially mid and an upper split.
And that's what you want to, and we, what we normally expect from that these days.
Many players in the round, good road-o-calls.
I get so caught here.
It's a full control situation out of miles to close that half.
map pick of dust too. Second pistol and it's two sets of utility coming out
for miles between Roland and Jimmy.
Sir, it should take a quick look at long spots multiple bodies.
Parvison remain with no good control here at this one.
The first one, into the top, is the
the
of the
space.
So we can't really go for that wide swing.
Can't stop belgina from getting into cover.
Man advantage for the retake total mid control for per
vision. All mouths will have our boots on the bomb sight.
Roll and tuck into car up first.
The keyfire right there.
That's if he pops up of course.
pops up of course.
I think it's time for you to get it killed the tunnel's players, now they play
at two, the windows, three players strong, perivision getting so honored, but still down
to the clutch, and Brawlin stuck in this corner, they're going to take the high road over
top, no tug, going over the box finds Brawlin, gets back onto the bomb with, I believe
just enough time.
Oh!
Cut it close!
Parvision in sixth!
Secured by way of the window retake!
Yeah, very solidly done.
I know Broland was like in danger of dying.
Obviously could have spared his head and tracked it to the lake for a little longer.
Second vote's one way to try to go for it, obviously.
But the retake happening this way is pretty fast.
You can see this ball through here and play the first kill coming down for the T side as well
and make it a 3v3.
But no, it's got to lock up.
Jane gets tied by the scout. That's two critical scout shots landed here for Mazz.
I changed this round, at least the complexion of it.
The pressure vision has to be nervous about giving them more contact.
And then that hesitation comes three space for mouse to take over.
It's a dangerous game to play, 60 health on your own, trying to make something happen
That flashbang, that's fine, it's over the cover.
But that cover, that's one.
So look, that's gonna be the Spinks Bragg,
the multiple kills off of the M.T.9,
but still this one goes down to a quadruple situation
here for Torch.
Okay, in hand versus two.
There you go.
Right now, and we've got him split up.
James is super low.
If Torch takes this to the window,
he could find a P.G. and make it a one on one
and just wait for a moment where James scaling,
but he's deciding to play it really safe,
which means the C2's have a chance to scale on him.
They ever think he's sitting in K-Sharp waiting
or that he's back here.
I feel like his time is limited.
His way is stopping his way inwards.
Just keeps it clean.
He goes straight to two safe.
Yeah, like usually, even if you're up in window
and they're both retaking from mid,
you have a chance to get a kill and fall back into the site.
Like you can take a timing peek.
Someone has a need out, ideally not in the two of you one,
but you could find a clip off isolate a fight and get away.
But, towards Eve, I think you like to play that really well for a one-do-one.
Maybe one for guaranteed late-timeing situation, but not one where it's like a standard
rule of thumb.
Yeah.
Place that like somebody who's missed a few critical ob-shaw times sitting at the bottom
of the scoreboard.
You heard us, I don't know if you heard us, his frustrations as well after the clutch in the
background.
No, no.
Words of frustration with that one.
Okay.
I think in hindsight, he realizes that he played it.
like a chopper, you know?
There was no bravery in that attempt to close out the round.
Some days, you feel like that.
Yeah, sometimes you're making a safe move, you shouldn't make it.
Maybe, and that's just, you need to get back online, but there's still time.
Not the kind of decision that screams confidence, and sometimes it'll want to be too confidence,
it will ring to it.
I feel like it'll want to be too, you know, absent-fun, because
one of everyone's expecting you to win.
Ah, huh.
and the odds are against you.
I had a J-M observation.
J-M is a player who I've always thought didn't have any of these kinds of ticks.
Never he's never a butterfly, nice spinner, et cetera, et cetera.
But his new tick is switching hands.
Chobby seems just couldn't do it.
As fluidly in CSGO, right now in CS2 he's found his... he's found his tick.
I'm sorry for the time, I'm swallowed grenade.
I'm going to fall onto you, but it looks like a ball pan could be a bit of a pothole here.
The bomb is now...
They try to go through it, come on!
They gotta wait with that!
They can't wait with that!
They can't pick up your Virginia 2 spanks!
Oh, come on!
And now you've got to pinch onto the long players,
Jimmy gets another.
had a gun picked up by Spanks. He earned this with his deagle to the bomb plant is on the other side
and they're still hit on the player but that won't matter. Zellos able to just commit to it all and two players survive for
Perivision as they will re-establish a lead.
That got way out of hand fast, especially with that spray and being so close to even stopping the plant
but they did a great job mows of throwing two bodies so that smoke as the plant was going down just prioritizing the money and that's just another moment
where you see their teamwork shine through.
So three kills, a plant.
That's pretty damn successful.
Three bomb plants in a row for mous.
It's two survivors, atmose, for all three of these CT roundwins for paravision.
There's certainly still things to praise here for mous,
but the numbers say paravision winning does too.
And a boost on how Watt just missed timing.
Caesars is always a little faster,
but if you just see the top of his head there,
Lots that, drums that need on them, and gets a good amount of value of huge amount, yeah.
So we should down to 62 and a minute 30.
Oof, that's all right.
Let's still technically in this smoke.
No, it is.
It is in this.
Put it for the tally.
Well, what are they up to?
They're doing this to flash.
Let's stay one though, you get Mulligans.
Okay, everybody gets one.
That one's a pushed smoke.
That'll see nothing.
Now's the doing a whole shadow boxing this round, trying to draw some confusion out
of a parabitian, but they've just come and check the mid, didn't see anything.
vision earlier on pack on some utility damage off.
Yeah, I'm not sure they're totally afraid red, but actually,
certainly it's looking pretty good.
Now's coming late for the mid-B split.
Two guys here in full test.
Well, dramatic doesn't go in for the mid-fight.
See, I'm not getting a one-time time.
Oh, huge reposition here for the option off.
All this basic more late for a missed shot from towards the again.
He's trying to chase down the option off.
It eventually gets it.
But by the time he finally connects that shot,
It's already the one before and time is expired.
Belgium on getting out of position.
I didn't believe that.
You painted the picture beautifully.
It's a 5v2 on site.
It feels like for sure it's going to crack under that immense mouse pressure.
But he at the perfect moment gets away from the window set up.
Peels the door player off instantly and still gets into a new spot that then
actually serves up an issue for the tunnel push.
Yeah, you know, you almost never see.
So a move like that with that split coming in.
He knew if you got the car he'd be a he'd be formidable versus tunnels. That'd be his best spot to get a 2K
But on the way he knows he has to peek the door and take a pipe versus mid and he just does it
So elegantly. It's just like three bullets instant headshot move on to the next position. Yeah, barrel stuff's the door guy
Ignores the second one and no, it doesn't stick around and try to shoot the guy in the background
Either he knows priority is hold tunnels one zealot dies with one. Exactly
And that's just so well done.
And creative moves like that under pressure
I think is what will make you a great anchor in the wall.
Is it some way that's just the hardest thing to do
in Captain's life?
Oh, that's the horror.
They missed the game.
Oh, it's actually no charge out of CT
that kills the dunk door flare.
But yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then replay notes opens up the smoke
and the bell should not got damage on them.
But it's no charge to die.
Take the player on door.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, it's true.
There was two players out middle, but the guy who died in door was not just belching
out changing position.
Okay.
So, we'll truck it up with it a teamwork there as well, and they got that too.
But I don't think it takes anything away from the praise for belching off in that he
repositioned exactly what you had to say about going across the door.
Yes, I'm sorry.
Yeah, I hope you got it, dude.
And it's nice to see the kind of tap back into that synergy, because there was some scramblely
miscommunication type looks for Parallelization in the first half, the round that they
lose the time, the moment the sway and belchernock run it, searchin on their own, no
It feels like those two have been kind of washed away with these last couple of victories
for a run-out from their mission to defense.
But with that around being so close, it does feel like Mous just want a copy of paste.
So long, and that's the way to answer a copy of paste.
You bring it on new.
We're looking, we're going to go to the top.
Yarn, we're trying to get away from it.
We've already pushed long.
Now they're freaking out.
You don't really need to do much more than had the gun advantage over the bill.
We've gone into a little bit of damage.
C-L-O always good for at least the one.
And again, has Belchon on card committed over to the car.
So I'd be different plenty of serious C-L-O just move.
I'll look at that space.
And he'll get himself a second flag.
Belchon again, always here to help out.
And of course he doesn't have bomb possession at five seconds.
So this round expires at its pair of vision to the double digits.
So our mouse are scrambling to find any T round wins.
I feel like when the way it was on spirit,
he would have just swung white and died right there.
So that was nice to see him like getting to that dual
that then just leave it at pressure.
It's a long rotation to go back to long
and it's still a 5-2 in the cipher a second,
but at least everyone's got an early warning song.
You know, you know, you know,
what attack is coming in.
You can get ready for it.
The comparison site defenses on B have been extraordinary so far.
They made that look really easy, it still wasn't.
They look good to get easier, single opt for tours, that is it, that is all.
I haven't had to tap into that jame performance on the second half thus far, but it looks
like with this cat crawl he may be called on for a couple shots.
It thinks way doesn't push the store two rounds in a row, but he still finds free space
and places the AK up close.
Not hoping he does make that exact mistake, but leading with the op, the barrel is going
to give it away.
I was going to give it away.
We'll see what's going to happen here.
We're going to go up and stay tucked through.
Maybe start a blast.
If that's what you need, right there, J&P's into the Tours Y'all.
In fact, what if they had to play with it,
if you could go off to Catwalk, attention turned towards long in time.
CT's put a smoke down here.
We're going to get this sprint from Belgium to go attack the flank.
Tours Y'all and both truck and fox over.
And they're going to be found out.
Pitch, pop the bottle.
Two notes has stems through.
Boxes, bolt, you're not even called on for this one.
It's two survivors as Paravisions CT side remains the lawless lawless and yeah close calls are just close calls
But the rounds keep going to the blue guys right now. So
Pretty impressive stuff here for Paravision after the start that we saw to this game as well
How unlikely that pistol round was
Some of the moments that they brought together
Now how good they look at both halves of the map
I'm sorry.
Psych 1's getting involved.
But a timeout called by Dawson.
Gotta be ready.
and
hopefully for towards you sake connecting that long kill getting the ball rolling around
you're not supposed to win and you got to still shake off the rust whatever the hell
is holding them back right now
yeah
there is
oh
he feels like that time sway kind of misses his shot top middle of zershin out an AK instead
of the glill maybe that would have been a death this one too
Right, maybe.
Stanage, flusters, jame, it pushes him back,
but there's a lack of leaveality
from now as across the board at the moment.
Oh, that's a good ball.
A huge information.
Get utility out of them.
They burn a smoke to escape, and with that,
they'll stop taking the pressure.
Oh, no, he's up.
Shocked, whizzes through.
No connection on his behalf.
No pitty facts at the moment.
No smoke even in the tunnels.
So, that's a scary one to kick it off.
Wow, that was not gets away with a lot.
Oh my goodness jumping on and off the side still hasn't put that scope down now it comes through in a minute
Yeah, it kind of has to now because Spinks don't get job working in
An elf will finish this off of the lurks moh, so they're just kind of keeping keep in this threat outplay
As they walk away, now's a love to make this an ace split
Thing is perivision would love an ace play
Of course he's gonna win the head to add on james
the sad part is it's still an ace split there not any
yellow with the headshots multiple and a long truck in front of him for his
efforts no way no jame needed yellow all day from this longhold there's just
not that many teams that have a player that could do that just trade up a three
three k hold all dead on the same spot you'll be anchored by the way suddenly
playing long A instead and he comes through, look at this smorg's board of dead bodies.
Hey, Kays for all.
The extremities have been absolutely locked out and they've let Mows take middle and get
out there pretty much whenever they want.
seven ct rounds in a row that's kind of crazy
but also I wouldn't know what to tell him now is right now
some positions are just must trade but I'm like
I feel bad for them because it's just that the crosshair place is going to so good
the headshots are just instant. I never pair a vision. I don't know really, you know
Well, you know, we'll kind of advise you to get you out of that.
Started the CT side as well, was on such a thin margin that maybe that extra bit of room could have helped, but, you know, pistol goes down to the clutch.
Three rounds in a row, all by way of defuse.
That clock's been expiring against Mous.
Three of the last four rounds as well, so.
It's just kind of them this slowly, but surely pair of vision CT win
Around 20s where I could all end if a bell genoc takes early damage once more. Jane will get the better of
Roland
There's been a lot of damage on the early cross
towards you from the skeleton to now the off
It's way better be careful
It gets a reload off gets back into the corner smoke about the
That's why you got to be careful of the torsion missing a shot.
We've said about one too many times today.
I'm not a pre-inside.
It's a good there.
We can see it, he can feel it.
Everybody knows it.
There's been multiple moments where that mouse AWP could have found a easy shot.
Now blindsided down in tunnels, yellow kind of skipping protocols, goes running into
it.
Paravisions' idea of what's going on.
Well, they just need to get cat,
but then they can just instantly turn around as well.
We're slow cross, flashback, and interrupts it.
We're going to expose it to the space of utility,
but a lot's of pressure on this cross.
Laws of things, no more practice remains coming out
for Paravision.
They've revert back to just spamming through blind.
And a silent cross over for Malas is gone by without getting damage.
James O'P, also misses.
As Sershin comes up through that ramp.
That's the opportunity to get out of the tunnel.
Keep in the pressure on Slay, starting to hit his headshot.
Spings will find another kill out through the tunnels.
But 20 seconds left in this T-side for now is that it's seemingly going to rely on a towards E1 V3.
It's been a tough goal of it since the beginning of Dust 2, time to clutch, or onto inferno.
You'll hold off with a long-played jame and now to get with the flashback, lands the shot.
two more to go. Both approach from CT spawn and unfortunately just doesn't have an in it today.
13 seven clothes on dust two perivision, both pistols, full conversions, and a flawless CT side.
Okay, so let's have a little bit of fun. Dust?
Nope.
How do you feel about momma's T side on dust two day?
Absolutely trash. I mean, and it looked here's the issue.
I think if you were to, I mean, there's many things you could point out that has held
mouse back from making more grand finals winning more trophies, you know, you know,
individual performances being inconsistent, matte pull issues, you know,
brawl and maybe struggling to the field issues of being an in-game leader.
You can go a bunch of different ways.
But the one thing that is a constant issue with mouse boards is these besides.
And, again, I don't know if it's causal effect, but Zershins entry success has gone down,
tremendously over the last three to six months, and it was very bad at Crack Owl struggle
here again.
But I also think it's just like when you watch them play, you see it so many times where
they're spacing and scaling is just not there.
Like the trade potential is just not there, because it's just one by one, but back
to try to do like these crazy split pressure, keep all your options open, mom, if you're
just getting picked off on the edges, and they're teased on for just so one inspiring.
I mean, look at this highlight from Zellow.
Look at how long it takes for every member of Malice to peaked after the other.
the the B take that they tried going for earlier too, where the anchors from
Paragage in there were able to very comfortably get one kill, reset their recoil,
get the next kill, reset their recoil. That sort of stuff is just simply unacceptable
if you're a team like Mao's that wants to be contending for trophies and
unfortunately in the big moments that seems to harm them a lot more. I feel like in
group stages, I haven't had to talk about Mao's and their inability to trade almost ever.
Even during some of their woes, I just don't feel like that's usually a talking point.
But that was just for me what was the flaw of their T-site in this one.
Because they tried going short, they tried going B, they tried going out long.
And every single time it just felt like they were very, very stringy with their approach,
which is something that a pair of vision players are going to eat up because they actually
are of a caliber that's good enough that they can multi-frag when presented those opportunities.
Do you think that Mao's lost that in the end?
And they were obviously in the lead until halftime.
Or was it more of a, you know, a J-Most class
is everyone likes to do with parvisions?
I mean, we look at the first half.
It's certainly a shoe that a parvison had
back a really hot start.
I mean, they got the three O start off with in pistol.
I thought they had some like my stability,
the counter mounts is aggression.
You know, they caught a couple of guys getting
a aggressive at middle or off catwalk.
And we're able to style that into round winds.
They had a couple of nice like D-pops
and they've used blitz that worked out well.
But eventually, mouse caught on, you know,
they were able to start defending some of those V-hits.
They're just generally speaking,
we're having a pretty good defensive game,
which mouse never really had too much trouble with that in my opinion.
I felt their CT size were always usually pretty sound.
But again, it's all about when you flip the script,
you have to close out on the T side.
Mouse looks so rough, man.
And again, it used to be early on.
It was version had a lot of good success being an entry guy
in creating space.
And it's things which is such a nice trade for agar.
It did just like closer.
And they're just not having any of that anymore.
They just seem so disconnected.
And I'm just not sure what it is or what it would take
to fix them, sure if it was simple,
they would have already done it.
But something just doesn't smell right over there.
Like I don't know what to say.
Fair enough.
Okay, let's talk about James because he's on our screen right now.
I mean, do you think some of the top tier teams will be able to count
to him pretty easily in this tournament if Paravision makes it through?
Yeah, that's kind of a big take.
I have about them that even there on their T-side, we could see as they were trying to
hammer the B-bombs side against the impact and spings that eventually they were able to just
stand up to the test.
And then we saw James trying to work through his plan B trying to go for his own A hits there
and not really to the greatest effect.
I mean, if they didn't get off to the good start,
it would have been an even more bleak picture
than what we already saw for their offensive side.
But then again, I mean, you can't really count them out
because they can put up great CT side holds.
Obviously, when we then contend that
with the elite opposition, like the furious and the vitality,
who I would assume have very little problem in spacing
and making sure that they get the trade kills
that they're supposed to.
Then you're going to see them put more to the test.
play. Now they still they're still looking like that team that's going to play
upset to a handful of the big dogs here and maybe the first scout they'll
find is in the opening game versus this mouse.
You say that we're moving into the sake of map it is of course Mars is
map. Let's talk about how that plays out because this was a
conversation that we were having in the green room where we said well
is this a two zero does this go to a third map. Maui and I were on the side of
were definitely going to a third map with Mars. I mean, does you felt that this
could actually be closed up by
pair of vision. Why was that? I
mean, it could be. I mean,
they've won all their in front of
me. They've played so far since
ways to on the team that includes
lens over Furia and Falcons. And
yeah, sure, you could make some
points about Falcons having
a standard and things that
nature, but the winning and
Furia was absolutely legit.
So it's like they have a crazy
sample size to success, but they
have shown it. And I think that
it really comes down to the fact
that they are so good at split
pressure. Nota is a really sound
like B controller type figure. And
then you have someone like Z.
L. Who's also able to, you
know, really take back a
control and then what you
to come up together when you're actually going through your play, you know, in the mid to late
round, they're very good at trading and just, you know, brawling out. And I think these are the two
riflers that have been so interesting to watch lately. And so they have some wind conditions in that
regard. But it is true that mouse of all the masks in their map pool besides ancient,
I feel like their inferno has really shine through. It's something that they actually haven't
had as much trouble with. And, uh, but to me, it just comes down to, you know, how well is
in place because you just so pivotal.
I do think that there's a lot more
polish to Mousa's game which comes
through on inferno the pairing of
Roland and exertion on the banana
control is probably going to be enough
to dissuade perivision from taking too
much space on that side. I have in
the past actually like some of the
perivision T-sides in fact it's notable
here that they despite it being
Mousa's pick. They're picking the T-side
here so they do like to like like
like does said, put all the pressure on.
And even work through other aspects of the map
that some people don't.
I don't feel like I see Jamev really get lazy
with calling on a dismount.
Like sometimes when I see new or ideals on his map,
you just see the portraits a little too often.
You just see them running up that short side
through the Moto Smoke.
And then they just hope that they're able to trade.
But usually Jame's trying to figure out,
is are there any gaps in the defense,
can a player lurk through on the Archside
to find a nice backstab.
So that's going to be something that Mal is
have to have to reckon with because I feel like the first line of defense at banana
though will probably be good enough for Malice to get this map over the line.
Very quickly before we go to our break.
What do you think about the pieces surrounding Jane right now?
This young pair of vision team?
Well again, like I kind of mentioned it as we were talking to in front of, I like that the
fact because Jane is idealing from the opting slot, it allows him to add like another, I guess
like star rifle or so to speak like in the main control group.
like you're not having to spend your IGN on one of those places.
And so that allows Nota and Zelo to be that nice little one-two punch.
But it also allows you to split them up and then pressure multiple sides
and that at the same time they kind of pick where you think it's best to go.
So I think that's really nice.
If those are two young guys, it's too soon to call how good they will be.
But the eye test just looks so good for Zelo at the major last year.
And Nota really stepped up for them and that bounty run that they had that title there.
So those are nice and then I think when it comes this way,
It's just like he was such a prospect on the Miga,
but then obviously it's time on spirit.
We all know how that went, right?
And I think they made the right move.
He included it in fit there.
And it's like now this his second opportunity
on a team like Paravision that has the VRS status
to make this a big event, to prove that, hey,
yes, spirit didn't work out,
but I'm still a valuable player that could bring something
to a team, and so we're have to see how that plays out.
I'm still just kind of finding out for myself.
I rate Zelo the highest of all of James Tools right now,
because I just feel like the way he takes every fight
it looks so concentrated,
whereas no to me, probably him and Zwei have the best
first bullet accuracy,
but that doesn't always make you the best counter strike player.
So it's interesting to watch,
as I see the strengths and weaknesses for them,
as I just view them more,
because for example, Zwei is really good
on this pair of vision team when he has a lot of space.
When he can work around, say, ancient,
he has so much room to just control the action,
dictate what he wants to do next,
But when he's kind of a soldier that just kind of has to run in first,
which he does not over pass more, then I feel like we see the floor of him.
Like, it gets really, really kind of muddy around then.
And he kind of just doesn't really get any moments to shine.
So I feel like right now, Zello, to me, as the highest ceiling overall,
but it's still, there's a lot of learning to do it
to how high this pair of vision team can go.
And even if they just make more playoffs this season.
I love how you explain that James is tools and kind of referring to the risk.
team is the toolbox that he gets to dig into. He's going to be digging deep to see if he
can cause the series app to zero. We're going to go for a quick break. Make sure you get
refreshments because when we return the counterstack continues.
I won't play window anymore.
What's going on?
Play your role.
One expat.
The human body was built to move.
Not your out of the test.
Get one singular posture for 12 hours a day.
It's trying to be your share, evil.
This is secret lab type move.
You're strong.
The Scanner!
Are you ready?
Get out!
Scanner!
Get out!
Scanner!
Scanner!
From the end of 2025, now coming into 2021, power vision and jame have had some impressive
results, a big win at the bounty as well.
to you, James, you're back to being on top.
How is this like in terms of a feeling for you
and an achievement and looking at trying to get back
to where you want to be as a player?
I think the nothing special, I think it's because I'm tired.
It's a health sport, I have a sport,
you need to go in every time, every time,
every time I want to be with you.
And I think I feel something maybe,
summer. You can't play as great. Oh, nothing. You're not celebrating anything. You're just grinding
your working heart. But do you feel like you can still keep up with this? Like your body can handle
this? You can deal with it all mentally. I think yes. I'm trying not overthinking. I need to just
do my job after when I'm one major in Rio, we have a break and it's not good for us.
It's was not good for us.
Next one I'm into those zero two and I don't want to make semi-stakes, I just want to
get in and nothing to happen for me and for making them.
Happy you had time to work on some new structure, work on some new strategy, make sure that
you're not predictable. I think it's a lot of job like, you know, all playbook. On T1, you
need to be like a better player, you need to overplay your opponents. It's not about tactics,
You know, I can't want that go big, go fake, it's not like this, you need to one player, you need to like, good communication and it's slow process when players need to more experience, need to more confidence, yes of course we
they watch all our games like we do before and but this is not my
sense when you go on tier 1 and when you play with your best players in the world.
Base players in the world they don't give a fucking about your tactics, this is
a certain threshold. But you have a lot of young players who can deliver those
headshots, you can play individually very well, are you seeing good development
in the improvements in these players event to event.
Yes, of course, the improved everyday, the girls up, the just kids.
And it's the same way to become a man, you know.
And our mindset of the power is individual, like I am a man.
This is all we will have right now, and our main focus on to be smart players and
center players.
But let's look at CluesnerPoker as an event for you guys.
What are your expectations of the team like how far should this team go?
I just want to think about the expectation, we have no pressure.
To be honest, our organization don't do its preparation from us.
We just did a good job before, but we still young, we still, you know,
less experience than mouse ports, for example.
We just need to play our game, we need to learn about all games.
And I think we can beat everyone right now, but everything can happen in this not.
James, thank you very much for all of your thoughts.
I'm good luck in the tournament.
Thank you, thank you guys.
Enjoy this tournament.
It's not quite do or die here at day one of Clues 26,
but it is a chance for Mounds to get a rebuttal going.
And I'm absolutely flat T side on Dust2,
cost them their opponents map pick.
Mohan now we moved this party over onto in Ferno,
where Mao's just supposed to give us a slightly better look.
And I feel like we're all kind of cheering for them,
because even if you're not the biggest Mao's fan,
you don't want to see Mao's totally flawed.
And unfortunately, that's what Dust2 kind of ended up being.
I want to see a Mao's that gives every team a run
and like honestly beats teams like that.
I mean, with Perivision or a team with the tournament win,
I feel like they still should be able to get skill checked by mouths who 100 are so consistent
for so much longer and been together for so much longer.
Should ever go like what we just saw on Dust 2, especially with like Torzi, just really
having a really off day right now.
I mean, you don't normally see it end up that bad.
Like it's been pretty, pretty consistent overall.
So it's the scary one where it's like there's off maps and then there's off days.
Right.
or is it just going to be a bad day one. We'll find out you're on inferno.
Here inside of the pistol holds.
Both pistols back on dust to go the way of peridision.
Torazill get there with the assist of a brawl and it's three kills for
mouse. Five white on shaft. Total stoppage of the apartments push.
That's the kind of roundmows need to get the wind back in their sales.
It was also massive of difference because James has had a like a lot of
the exact same time,
what I think of that's how the head-to-head skill matrix it was just definitely actually out-offing
doors in a lot of moments. Now luckily that's now that we're on a journal kind of takes the
ops out of the equation as much. I feel like op sum and for no CT side shirt, but mostly good for
one on being a post plan like certain key positions but in general relatively optional
I would just like it to be known that in the warmup for this game, sway was using the T-side
auto sniper, no scoping people in the wrong.
Depending on how his game goes, make of that what you will.
I just remember when James Banks interviewed him at the bounty when he won.
And his first thing he said was, you again.
and I just wondered what kind of plots
go through his head now, and one.
This way, the kind of guy that always catches
the hotel breakfast in the last five minutes.
I see him with everything right now.
They don't want me to guess I'm also there.
So what does that say about me?
But...
No, it slips right in, you know?
And I think that's maybe hanging out with James too long.
You start playing with time,
down at the limit.
Right.
Right.
says 1030 and it's 1028. It is nice to see though that he's having fun and being
comfortable. Oh yes 100% he got it that in terms of you don't play in for
spirit and not doing that well and like Chris isn't playing on a team that big.
In the middle and the brackets and goes exactly how you'd expect. There's a
triple kill for Taurusie. It those numbers up 60 start. Dust 2 will just be
nothing but a forgotten nightmare.
Also, I'd just like to say it first away that even when he played on spirit during his
worst moments like when he was just onboarding for months, they'd one colon, and even,
you know, you go back and look at the stats back alone, he was heavy, you know, he was
really not playing that well, but if you actually watch the rounds, some of the kills he got were
impactful, and I just, I don't think you can actually pull off the win of the size, even with
Donk without having some impactful fry from the bottom and so you could still see the semblance of a player that could
You don't work out eventually when we got to the major he got those back to back aces as an anchor
Helion like learned his role and
He's like a
That was all him right some of his best maps in his spirit jersey and it feels like pair of visions to perfect with jayman to Scott on like the perfect way to craft them for the next
I'm gonna open up, Caravision, successfully take a look at this B-Foxite 477 on the fallback guys with nothing.
And the most Caravision I have guns in the head is here on inferno.
It is a B-Foxite that belongs to them entirely.
But you're dead on. I like it.
Jamie, Daston of the kind of guys that will look at Sué and think, yeah, we can't attract him, for example.
Well, it's used playing for Namika. Before he went to spirit, we played for an Austin.
Oh my god, yes.
How is it going to be?
Point being, you know, when he had such a great performance in Austin like that, you just know he's kind of destined for the top dogs of the region and spirit.
It's spirit and Paravision Bill head to head trying to get a player, a Paravision, Jame and Dostan, no.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah.
We'll take him when you're done with him, it doesn't work out and low and behold, it didn't work out.
They get their hands on him and we get to see a better version, you know, it's like one man's trash.
The other man's treasure and I'm not trying to call his way trash.
I think I was looking forward to that as a real point.
Yeah, so that's kind of the analogy for sure.
And like the only players that haven't worked was essentially when they tried a super star
that was still good, which was electronic.
And there was just too many, you know why it doesn't work.
It's because there's too many strong ideas from coming in from the guy who was on a successful team.
Whereas as we just rented about with James, you have to buy him.
Totally yeah, to his ideas to the stars like yes, so I think so I was ready for that
I mean you can speak ill of electronic now if you want to but when he entered you still have to look at what you just achieved
You know what's yeah, what's the guy? What's the guy like though?
So I'm gonna say if James says no, I know better
Might have the headshots of a god my friend the James got a major
So here we are with the dodges of the man of the desert for the title of the
covered three game vision and they hit up with the counter flashes too.
James is still gonna come through with another kill, Manifantage 4th house, but back
that's taken away pretty damn quickly.
James here with a teammate right behind up the ball, those back on T-Ramp, and that
is a spanner in the works for their vision.
Crazy that it's that far back when they have this many players up the banana.
Jay knows that this site is totally open.
So the question is, are they going to run it back?
I think they wait long enough they go back to be,
because now it's like a double fake.
And males are just going to wonder why they're doing this.
Selchonok with another smoke to just guarantee the CT cross.
Yeah, he's making a lot of noise.
Of course he's here and they've got to be worried about something
like this.
So Belchonok holding for this swing, the Molly's gonna land behind.
Oh, there it is.
Oh, you catch him.
Towards the in front of it, Belchonok County,
he's gonna get this straight drag.
Torchon is happy to give you the bombsite.
If it means playing the 2v1 this properly now, this is though, entirely.
Of course, you have full rule.
I will say, that's kind of huge.
Oh, interesting.
Smoke on Jimmy who's rotating over, see what he
ops to block off.
Bell's not cast taken early peak here for the 2v1.
We could see too many nades.
No, towards the hiding in the back of the dust to be bombsite.
His 1v2, what's belchinox move, smoke grenade comes through.
blocks off Belchanoch now he's gonna have to try to bank on either a surprise timing or a spam
He dives it Jimmy catching up and then he gets onto the diffus. He's got the kit. He's got the round
As we'll find a third off that retake the ballman C brand for pair of their gin makes things weird
Torsy strikes in the middle of it all and for around that comes down a time who knows absolutely
Nice kills from Torsy to her back a coffee
He's safe, and also an amazing counter-eat ability here.
And a rolling splash is his first and second.
But the only reason that this is safe at all, is really...
What do the one dead on Sandbag's no problem?
I'm not still almost found a way to the bad.
Because if you killed Jimmy and second player doesn't have a kid,
it's got a...
Scramble and pick one up.
Jimmy catches it while he fails the climb-up.
but around went on the board and the last mouse 3-1 lead still guns for
pair of vision. We saw them recover from some mistakes back on Dust 2 as well.
I think that's always going to be kind of a nature of pair of vision for the
time being. They're not a perfect team. They are a good one team. It's so
That's a fucking shit.
Yes sir.
Ooh, rolling.
The burn's sway off the assistive version
who is getting a chance to just dive back
into the safety of the site.
Oh, that's brutal for pair of vision
to let that guy go.
And, uh, version 18 HP,
reroutes to coffins.
They're looking to just go through it anyways.
Um, they put a men's pressure on banana.
There's no smoke coming through.
The version doesn't have one in hand.
None of the back of the site.
And Spinks is going to be nervous to peek though he's probably going to have to take the first look.
Now, Zershinog low health you'd think but if we forget about this or not.
There's any molly.
It goes down, Spinks has one but they don't.
So that's fine, you'll hang on and he'll get that walk up.
Now, Zershinog of coffin, able to strike after Spinks serves up the distraction.
No bomb plant for this attempt at a clutch at a jam and so the save instead offered over to him.
and now is go 4-1 up on the CT side.
Crosshair placement doesn't get much better than what we just saw to the surface.
That'd be a good one.
It's amazing.
It slices off the push into the back of the site.
So another round that mouse play active on-car.
It's easier to pop in flashes.
Time it to perfection.
and then go back into the sight and win the round. Again.
That's why I crone once again, I'm always ready to go on his opponent's tack pauses.
And you know, when they made this scene, this transition from shoe-added brawl and they got
the firepower upgrade, but you'd think there'd at least be some issues with keeping everything
together, even though they had most of his system already, but no, it was pretty much flawless.
Like since Brolin is doing the team, there's never going to be a moment where it's the
calling that's the really big issue for a short house, and that's super impressive for him.
But obviously, Cicero and the E-Man are all-it is the red thread, it's the thing that
makes it make the most sense.
I'm not taking damage and Jamie is down at 27 off that.
This is supposed to be the hero op moment for him to thrive in now he's got to do it with a quarter HP.
I was awkward.
I felt like no to call for the boost anyways because he said like look I found a safe spot on the flames and then
Jankon and Pave the cost for it.
Well, Jank's rich, so if you can afford it.
Holds the line, and lets these tech nines get in front of it.
You know, there has been like this willingness from Mao's to just fall back into the site.
I think when Spinks gets that instant headshot, it's a good example of his ability,
but also one where Paravision knows there's space to be taken here.
If you don't die to the search and hold in banana, then you are given sight.
So, they'll try to take that challenge and it's that kind of thing to go roaring through.
Great Spat on a Brawling to contain it with a double kill.
Spinks collecting one as they tried to push around the back of the church as well.
And James' office still yet to fire, so sure enough that's going to catch off, Jimmy.
And now dodging Brolin spanning through the coffin side,
standing low and helping himself with a second,
and that's both of the CT player's dad.
It's over towards coffin now.
And they don't have utility, the fudge him out either,
but he takes an over step, belching off hands on an AK,
and a Spinks in Brolin, get this great take,
rolling the line up right there, low health,
Some HP for sphinx that's
Quad tech nines to damn your win this round. Oh, and they probably should have too
And you wouldn't normally see Jay make the first mistake. They'll snuck has him covered on the cross from confins
He could have also peaked in the CT. Jaym could have taken the next fight. So I rare mistake out of Jaym and a spot in a round where they maybe shouldn't have come close to winning but could have
and men. Yeah, Paravision have really got there. They've got there in Furno together, because when we were casting them at the major, they were struggling. They lost the three times in a row. They got
and then at the bounty, they immediately pop up with two wins, but I remember a legacy that was still having issues doing things organized.
They never turned down Car control, that's something that they were doing before, and then naturally I feel like they can be obvious.
They just don't turn down and take it then. You can kind of wait, they look at it.
They're like, even if the other teammates what we're going to do, it's a big advantage.
Yeah, you have to overload it to stop it. You have to update it. It's just that what we've seen in this spot now as well
Have perfect flash status for car have the extra player in place
No, it's the VP so they are getting prepared for this and now you burn a lot around going on the same side of the map
This is you normally do you fail to condition your opponent. So how do you?
He mutates plant and something that's not going to sort of be not so obvious
Maybe you want to dress up another B attack, but do it a little bit differently, but how do you do any of that without being hogged?
Cool.
There's a bit of a machine that is cornered.
Can you look at those flashbangs with this time?
Smoke holds it off.
We'll see this scramble back at a pair of vision, guns all in hand, of course, at a minute.
Three strong inside of the building.
I'm feeling away and finding the perfect place for notice.
I have to stomach like in this spot.
If you're playing three TNT side,
you're normally fall back because you get worried that they're going to assume it's 3D
and then you want to keep art.
But now they're not scared of that.
I don't think they could just go in here over and over again.
They still don't believe it.
That's been come back today.
They have no brackets vision in here, Mouse.
They just understand pair of vision.
See how big that gap is and I don't even worry about it.
Search it.
It spits the back of the site numbers, both real well-paramish and thick enough to be easier
than it was.
Took us that site.
Sure I'm going to damage for the road, but not what you're looking for with everybody that
well equipped, you know, a tech 9 round previously goes far better than this one, guns
in hand, you step forward towards that B-Bon set, you get absolutely slammed out of the
round.
It's also a map where they go through that smoke all the time.
This won't start to feel real flat, huh?
Yeah.
Some good rounds in there, but it's too plain plain Jane overall.
Jane Jane.
Pouring Betty.
You know what I mean?
I got you.
I think she's using it.
I'm lucky Larry.
Who is version?
Lucky Larry's Lobster Mania Launders.
Yeah, and I'm okay to make sure.
Never forget, Vegas 2024.
I'm just talking to you right now.
Jimmy's going head-hunter and I know that he's here to stop, but this is a slotted
Crows, eyes are racketed up looking like a completely different team than that back on dust too.
The difference, the confidence of inferno can make.
And honestly, there is also this kind of failure to launch on the pair vision.
So you got zero kills, where you got one frag on note.
So you got two kills on Belchinock.
And this is a problem.
I would say this is a problem of leadership, actually, because if you're, if you're asking your team to like hammer one thing over and over again.
Everyone's results are gonna be bad, and they're gonna stay back, so essentially it's gonna cause
their handling, cops will smoke, you get two entries, you win the other team saves, or you don't get those kills, everyone dies, low money for the whole game.
And also look in, like a triple conditioning, no way to throw from them, right now.
You don't want to see a half that mentally ends already, you want to see a half that have variety in it, so we don't even know what they're gonna try to do next.
I think something that would pose real well for Mount's as well as with this comfortable
7-1.
We can see that towards the mid-aggression this round doesn't miss, you know, Lance's
shot.
Three of his nine kills were that kind of anti-Eco farm and round two, but still up there at the
top of the board we said, was it a bad map or was it a bad day one and looks like he's
rewriting the tail of this best of three.
I'm going to try to walk this smoke, just go right on through and it's going to work.
Okay, so we're going to go the bombsite on prepared?
Oh, the search and actually gets one from beyond it.
Nice.
Chucks that need out and they have scared him but he'll still hit you with the you-tilt
and so man advantage retakes still queued up for a mouse.
Paragas are trying to keep their opponents on their toes.
in a jame and belchonoc 2v3 postplants.
One of my favorite spots to post,
or ways to post plant here between pool and car.
There you go, those smoke to cut off an ass,
and that's gonna be a problem.
Yep, you're right, cat for belchonoc to walk this one up.
It's kids on all three.
That that smoke will effectively punish the CT retake.
Jimmy's still concerned about this pick player
and this good reason.
James gonna strike him down,
So, slightly off-smoker-nades gonna give pair of vision, second-prem-way-masks.
Chimney, there's an awful, there's a-he can even track the crops.
That is so extra.
Okay, just different.
I'm gonna show you to say this right now.
Mows do not let this get out of hand.
It's only one round.
One extra.
Are you saying that two miles to rally,
Yeah, now is don't do it or is that was crushed or is it like a okay?
It's a confident statement. That was will not let this get out of control. Don't let this get to
75. No, it was just one mistake. Longers. Give it this on.
Signed and sealed. All right. This roll. It's got the frag grenade to prove it.
Kind of love the additional pressure and call out as well.
So, I had at the CT smoke though, that's gonna give him half wall control, that's gonna be to get right for everybody else to come join him also on our block against smoke flashes to come over top and searching to each other two kills for him and Mao's do not let this get out of control.
You know when you play like a prefire map over and over again, you don't get worse at it every time.
You know when you know exactly how it's gonna go ever it gets easier actually, so that's something you've got to contend with
So they'll come for the eight four best case scenario.
Paravisions, just been slamming their heads against the wall
to try to get this one going.
Ooh, it's another rough looking buy.
Tech nines for majority paravisions.
All the grenades in the world though.
I'm gonna say something brave.
I don't think the actual guns really matter here,
for the way that pair of vision are playing.
Yeah, certainly.
And also with like, I like no doubt,
it's just, it's got like Zello.
Got like, emotional.
It's literally just like,
these, all these guys just get two entries by themselves,
sometimes, doesn't matter what guns they have, honestly.
If they have one power, you know,
one specific thing that makes them stand there,
it's probably gonna be that.
As long as they've got caviar and something
better than a log,
Where there's a will, there's a way.
But will they find the way into again a ready-be-bombsite, rolling, searching, find by them.
You want this bombsite, try to come and get it. Once upon a time, these tech-nines broke down the door and almost walked away with the round-wind.
They want it so bad, they want this bombsite so bad. Well, you can't have it.
What's the water's place they just bring on release day. They go way to age yourself honors
What do we have now the five to release then I think the six is coming
They're all stupid now, but not before the was exciting okay. Yeah, this
Steam frame steam frame yeah
Steam box is like the Chinese takeout. Okay. Yeah, well
That's good tech, too.
Double a short walk up, Jimmy ready.
Gun in hand for you to try to get this desperate attempt at the bomb plant.
Spinks is going to let Jimmy take contact. There's a world where something goes wrong.
He's still Jimmy in docking off the side of tall box.
But you're not getting nothing.
Paravision.
Empty hand.
It not even a single kill.
I mean these guys have had two round winds and two bomb plants in any of the other rounds that they've lost
So all this half everyone's like, please change like let us go a let's go a and
Jame goes can find all this round will go away and then they go in they have nothing to work with
They all die and go see this is why I never take you guys a
Back to be I'll turn this car around
And they might
What do we do here, James? Be site one more time buddy once for the road before the CT side starts?
Although a different look, low. We're coming with less grenades and more skills.
Torsey, gonna catch the opening kill. Haven't had to say this entire half.
Torsey misses the upshot. And that is a very stark difference to what Dan down on Dust 2.
But now that we set it out loud, we'll see if it even gets another target to shoot at.
They will limple way towards the bottom of the middle and this one will end beef.
Not just this round, but this path.
As it is always a beef, more fragranades perfectly place more damage for pair of vision to have to try to
and the approach and so she gets the comeback.
No, Fracenot, physics is optional.
Tonight, nothing for pair of vision to talk about throughout this T-Side.
A measly two-round T-Side in the face of a fired up and very much recovering mouse now.
Yeah, and mouse showed us tons of cool stuff.
They were just as aggressive as they needed to be.
They've won, they got to counter flashes all in on car.
They got a couple of needs down banana.
They never overstep for bottom banana control.
control because a new pair of vision we're going to fight them on the half wall every
single round. So basically they tailored a game plan that was just enough pressure.
Yes sir, just enough pressure. Because if they started back in the site knowing that
pair of vision we're going to take car control every round, then they could actually
lose from that front. But they made sure to get their kill first to get some util damage
to fall back after. If you're going to play in Cerno well, it does come with CT aggression.
banana is where the game is one and lost most of the time, and that's why mouse dominated that half.
They're killing me, they're killing me.
Utility deserved a lot of praise throughout that CT side as well for Mao's.
of the flash banks for Zersheng,
but I'll confident he was on so many of those moments
that the right utility would bail him out at the right time.
He was even getting me to down to Red A's piece sometimes
and still getting out with a kill,
getting away alive because of the flashes.
That's all like it's hard flashes,
the flash timings were excellent.
Rollin' ends that half, 340 utility damage,
Zersheng 284 utility damage.
And those are the stats that are always gonna make you
impressed by that, you know.
I'm going to block a 10, 4 boughs in the K-bombsite front, stacked up by paravision.
Each, a couple miss shots here by Zellon, and now they see some of the targets tripling down
out through the balcony.
We do get a bit of a repuddle in a 2v4, they switch sides on the apps mode.
Yeah, that's not does have two kills, so they know he's up here.
Now the re-take on.
Oh, Jimmy just barely met you. Oh, gosh. Instantly seven HP. Loads us still
best to kill. Loads. Loads. Loads. Loads. Okay. Wow. How did he even do that all
long? I didn't know what the. Well, that was impressive. It sounded like a headscratcher.
I heard somebody say, how do I, how did I, and that's a great question. Same. How do
to get those killed, how do we cross paths in the smoke, how to melt your
knock in a way with two kills, and just disappear into the night.
Hmm.
Wow.
Let's see you.
I'm making sure that Mao's don't just finish this with a pistol and a putt.
Imagine bringing it up to the golf course.
only in America you win every round by four-fit good good
hangin
so he's got the auto shot he and that's up inside of the apartments so good luck Jimmy
Dammit, is that an auto shot?
It's a very intense auto.
Nice deeps.
Nistick?
That's class-tate.
Nice deeps, sorry.
I'm French.
I don't have to apologize for being French.
I guess you do, actually.
I can, I'll tell you, I do.
Oh, I'm tripping.
Belgium, I've got popped by Brawl.
But there's more rifles where that came from.
If you think you've really kind of punished this, surprise!
James in the corner.
waiten it all out money to be made here for the shock and I don't think they know for the
bomb plant that is passion's ways back pocket a tech nine upgrade for his efforts
so can we get a price check on it's a climactic is it those are two hollows
let me stick you get the video do me get all the Bruce Bruce on a blue tube
yeah baby somebody made a mistake back in 2014 I'll tell you
I'm not sure if they did.
The lake is cool.
How do we pull that up in?
Well, we can do this nowadays.
That's true.
Look at this.
I'm loving it.
Throw in the old lion.
I know it looks like a...
I don't know what.
That's the best Bruce Bruce.
No, dude.
I see.
Bruce Bruce is coming inside the way is that no one's
Bruce Bruce, oh it's Bruce Bruce yeah it's so pretty sure it's a type of tree
I think Bruce Bruce maybe a kid show character
That's Bruce Clues, dumbass
Oh there's Bruce Clues, the one with the dog
Okay, go to the dog and go to the swing and Zella now finds himself
Under pressure with the jumping MP9 headshot
doesn't really matter now doesn't tries to get another but his stuff up close
and we've got a 3v3 left over with the bomb crossing into the sights
and so he's coming in with that auto shot it for a retake so that'll be interesting
good enough a gap here for Bell's not to lock up. They're also technically not watching him right now
if he looks up all the time
That's the thing.
Figures it all out as the walk comes through
and an 11th round for Mao's.
Surely on the scoreboard in mere seconds.
You'd still need to hear it a really frasal's way
in what can never be the auto-shoddy retake.
Yeah.
So they'll pull the plug on this one,
allow Mao's to get the 11th majority alive as well for Mao's.
Yeah, genuinely, I'll too easy.
Having a gun like this, some people will wonder
because like, from up close, it's gonna be better
than some guns, right?
But the other half is the game where you have to let three takings out. That's where it's like a massive liability
That's where it's like you now your odds of winning or you're thought of going for it just disappears
You're not there's no point in even trying this
So there is a bit of a risk that comes with it even if it could actually be on par with a an M4 for a site hold in certain spots
But it persists
and once you got the damn thing it's hard to get rid of you know you already bought it
and make sure money back fast sure I mean it's got two kills with it already so
it almost covers the cost
3 players inside of the B-bombsite, and their average predict that Mounds are just going
to try to slam into this landing game.
Oh, it would be too wrong about it, but you get 2 separate M4 angles here between Zyllo
and Nota, and a 5 vs 3 look a much better for Paravision here in around 16, Opshot
Ports Boyle, a room doesn't get to come out just yet, but it's going to be Mounds acting
in a bit of desperation, 3v5 and 2v3 already tagged the 60-or less health.
Yeah, no real leads here either.
I'm just going to fall into place.
I only won't do much, but that chain doesn't hit his shot.
Well, what does do we want to do with this?
The back to be.
I mean, with the rotation here for the pair of it, and it is a great chance to hit
B3, even though it's 3v5, Zell is even a little bit sloppy.
You just need me to get a kill, but yellow likes to buy it.
Yeah, yeah, you said it.
That right there was almost what costum, because you know they would have jumped into the bomb site.
There's nobody else there to stop it.
This is wild.
Three-man, and it push.
Twenty-five seconds.
Utility trickles into the B bomb site.
Zellon knows that.
Oh, he's stuck in it, you hear this?
Oh, no, stop.
Stop just in time, towards he's still concerned about the cross.
Yeah, this is close.
Black finds it's timing and even with a missed shot bomb plan attempted.
Nobody's gonna die after time, but no extra money from the plant either.
There's Perivision's fifth and with the fifth round comes a chance at clawing back this scoreline, Lunders.
Yelling.
Anger.
I love it.
Little fights, you know?
That really shows you're just thinking about winning.
I think it's because it's not an enugest situation.
You know I brought up that enugest moment where I'm like,
Jesus Christ, I just, you know,
Furno is not like that at all.
For a pair of vision.
Yeah, they just started improving it.
They're on a three three infernal industry.
You're going to fight for this.
And again, they do bring fight to the table.
You've got a CT side in your hands.
You won the pistol and you got the second.
Sure, the first gun round was a mouse round win,
Now you've got one right back. This is a very real chance at the very least getting a respectable score.
A 6-round lead in CSGO wasn't even really a lead.
If you were on the right side.
It's the end of the world. Give it up.
We might as well take both the next.
A 6-round. Grow up.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
That's three right full rounds.
Yeah. Got somebody to be.
Huh?
Get it together.
Lock the hell in.
A Parvish have seemingly locked into this A-bomb site with four players strong.
The contacts, ooh, I missed a dream on top of another pressure song with the pistols,
two kills come out, the hot loose track, and came to the corner.
And they give him a chance to go for the back to back.
No scopes, he'll pull it off with two health-the-difference, and also the other player
inside there was like some 20 HP, so that is a scary one for pair of vision.
How do you explain him not getting cleared after he just took the shot from the literal last fall
back position?
I think it's the number of players that were still all around that kind of gets Mao's lost in the sauce.
You're sitting on the back of default on default, I should say.
It's like the first thing you can see where everyone goes.
James just like James just like that.
Hiding in plain sight.
That's why I'm so surprised to hear he's married.
He's such a hard guy to pin down.
Yeah, it's a lucky woman for sure.
I'm not, I think it's, I think it's skill.
That's skillful.
Good for her.
That is a fierce competitor.
That's it.
Yes.
She probably had five minutes out of the year to lock down.
Yeah, she found it.
jealous.
Five round of lead.
And Jame goes a little wider this time around.
Still anticipation of some kind of short A-play notes on each that's a tough A-tick.
Speaking of e-mades, Jame just stairs into his teammates flashbang.
Luckily for them, there's no punish up through the apartments, Jame goes starting to feel
So the pressure is just some auto short side that's fine by him, not going to miss the first shot, two rounds at a row.
And that was the harder of the two for sure.
Take it a look at even extending down into Biddle.
This is how they got their rotations down mid and last time they called out the space that Jimmy tried to take on brackets.
So I'm going to touch slower.
That frag grenade that found notes earlier in the round.
Those dangerous smoke if Jame had actually appeared in the middle that would just call the all the rotations
But now the CTs
You think it'd be slightly worried about it, but they're still cheating at their guy over
Don't worry about it, I want to see
Balchanox got a flashbang here
No, they need to be inside
Oh, okay, thanks for players ready
The key to go
Is the bomb site of fresh smoke goes down
Zello inside of the fountain cover
It's not the best cover in the world
And you'll still be able to drop the orange player
Balchanox inside of the pit
If there's the multi-frag moment, and there is now a fired-up perivision that is seemingly
starting to believe in this.
And there were two good round winds, yeah, and it's actually Mao's who looks sort of
just confused as to what to do.
It starts with James hitting actually a pretty tough shot, because it's not on the most
natural, easy angle.
He's got to hit a bit of a flick here.
And if you missed, he was 100% that I bought two standardable.
Back to the tech nines go now.
We're going to make a quick work at this A-Rapper round, ooh they found it, there's
lots of bodies, there's been a lot of moments here where a third CT's nearby, not this
time.
He had found a little bit of a nice dragon head out of Belchinoct to open up that hospital with
Fritz Wade. Oh my god. Jimmy's tech nine head shot means a second ball got across back from it
Third tech nine just offers up a distraction
Sershin come through with a wall bag. Zellow gets traded and Sershin's pitway for three frags
puts Jane into the clutch
Oppen hand kicks and send the airy fry grenade sure.
But how do you flush out the pit player first?
Yeah, how do you do this in time?
The question is still got a side on many.
No swing, no swing.
No swing, no swing.
It's got the advantage with that AK versus the tech.
Time tapping him down.
Jimmy half out from back side.
And it now will wrap their way into an abom site.
But they finally find understand.
They come through with conviction and the Jimmy tech nine headshot off of
shot off of Bout. That's the one that clears it up so that two guns can be grabbed.
I'm not gonna lie. I was waiting for that archrap to come. I thought that they were going to try to use it
on a rifle rounds, but they pulled this off on the E-Co.
They just had everything in perfect position right there to to make it to cause the most havoc.
It's a little bit of a mess I've been, because I need you to be countered.
See, I'm looking to take another attempt at this ace side, but this time, Paravision
aren't given that just a bit of extra time to put a third player in.
This is what Mouses have found more often than not.
Third defender ready.
Thirty seconds.
And here comes the last bally, O-Spoke grenades out of Mouses, smoked off Archside,
Jane waiting for this rap.
Oh, it's chance that now that's a compromise, Elchonock in a second.
They're trying to cover it from pit.
Sure enough, for one's gonna strike.
Switch top shots and inside of the bomb site,
Jane gets cleared.
Missed off shot from Jane, unravels all of that
to Mousa's favor, and now a perfect opportunity
to just finish off this full versus two.
Tours he's gonna react, and his op has come together
as this game has gone on.
Not needed all too often for life or strife,
but no Miss shots throughout the second map,
and an excellent recovery out of Mousa
after the rock solid, 10 to CT side,
they'll get this job done.
So the fans of sport,
and it turns out they really enjoy
and that's an analysis of Mazus T side.
So we'll just keep that running and...
Thank you, Reddit.
Let's take a second look.
Take a look at the sake of Mazus.
I'll ask it again.
What did you think of Mazus T side?
Improved?
Look a little better than on.
I'll say this, you know,
inferno has been one of the maps
that they have actually shown some decent T-Sides at times.
I think that this is a map where it's kind of just figuring out where you want to
gather and go, where you want to bunch it up and just try to do the trading game.
I will say, the T-Sides was a bit labor at times, if we're honest, they didn't necessarily
close things out swiftly, and even the last thought around what they got, one, they win
like a 50-50 gamble, tech-9 rush on A, what it has happened to catch two people isolated.
And even that last round of J.D.X.
at our side, we don't know how that round plays out.
So it's not like it was insane,
but it was good enough to get the job done.
And this is more of the now-so-are-you've seen
in group stages.
Thus, why so negative?
I'm not.
I think it was a T-side.
The CT-side?
Good CT-side.
If you didn't lose, I'd never had a CT-side.
Why not be happy for them?
I am, or once.
I am, for once, thus.
This CT-side should be celebrated.
That's good.
That should be.
Absolutely.
You should go out there.
You go.
No, I don't do it again.
Okay, let's focus in a little bit on our
power vision was able to do here.
What do we think about their internner?
A little bit one note in terms of what they wanted to construct on their
offense.
They just went into the hammer every single time
exertion and rolling did a great job defending that
banana space.
I would even say that they defended the car space.
It was pretty rare that you would see
jame and his bunch round in the corner because so
frequently there was a third guy on that BDF
and spinks was frequently there.
Toss and flashes in to just help set up exertion
and roll into get those kills before.
There was even really any threats of danger.
So, well done from how they understood
what the objective is, what the assignment was
and I'd say they passed with flying colors.
Yeah, again, I mean, I thought that there's
if you saw it was great.
I think they, you know, there was maybe,
there were a couple rounds away from kind of like
getting in a dangerous territory on that T-Saw
in a second half, but they never actually got there.
They were able to dial up a couple of faster pace plays
on the A side of the map to just kind of pull the thing across the line before things got
to squirrely. So yeah, to have them being able to secure their map, after a tough one on
Dusty, they shift it off very quickly, they didn't let that, you know, play their minds
and they came out and played way better kind of strike.
Stand up against for you?
I mean, really multiple. You know, I thought, you know, there's actually not obviously had a
field day over on the B side of the map per usual. I think Spinks had a fantastic game defensively
as usually does. So I think I have multiple guys play pretty well, but I guess we had to
pick one. This is not a bad one to shout.
I would want to know how many of those kills that he got were flash assisted because, yeah, like I was mentioning, I mean, I think it was usually spink setting them up. Probably towards he went over there at least once too, but a lot of those duals just weren't fair.
I mean, he was killing a lot of players that were blinded. Highlight package is definitely going to point that out that there's a few flashes with these. A lot of guys with their arms right in front of their eyes because they can't see a thing.
So why take a fair fight, and you can take an easy fight.
That's what exertion said today, and that's what he did.
There go, that's a quote for exertion.
My mouth is put it out there.
You can put it on social media.
Let's talk about the decide and act,
because we're going down to that third map.
How does this play out for both these teams?
You like multiple chances to close things out here,
because outside of them in front of overpasses,
five are next best map.
Very solid record over all seven and three.
And then those three losses two of them are really,
really close losses to spirit and fury.
So they've really been on the ball on inferno.
are to be on over pass in my opinion with this squad
over the last six months or so, including this year.
So, yeah, I think you have to say mouse
is certainly the favorite.
Once again, especially considering that,
we haven't seen too much access out of Parabas
and on this map before honest,
they've lost both their games,
since way has joined the team.
And even last year, at the core four,
it wasn't, it's kind of toss up 50-50 map for them.
So, yeah, you certainly like mouse chances here.
They did like picking it quite a bit of Budapest.
Even this year, they've shown that they have an affinity for it.
Also, I feel like the T side so frequently for pervition though becomes extremely one note.
I mean, you see his way there, typical B-lirker, but in reality he oftentimes serves
more as the B-entry, because on all of a lot of their pop plays into that bombsite,
it's really just him versus the world.
If he doesn't get the entry, it doesn't take the space that's necessary in order to
break up with the bombsite, they're just kind of left wondering what to do next.
So I feel like I'll, you know, in a sad way, a lot of this comes down to him because
I've seen when they just end up in a 4v5 behind a good defensive smoke deployed by the CTs
and then they're, they just look like they're left scratching their heads and, and
sometimes, and this is the map where I think more than any other, do I notice the singular
jame vision where he just wants to hammer over and over.
I think this year and even at Budapest there, there are the jidimily T sites you can go
back to where nine, maybe even 10 of the rounds he's just trying to go be the entire time.
So I think Bows have to be ready for that.
Yeah, I think Parvition is definitely a team on overpass that lacks diversity.
I think they're very much really why I'm just kind of loading up Zilo and not a one direction.
Just kind of going for the pace he plays and at times that can work whenever you're trading
efficiency is correct. But if you're a little bit off, there's no backup plan to be able to actually play
like an organized default, me able to mid-round your way into success. Meanwhile, when you look at
that miles, I mean, again, there is such a style of defense.
They're one of the teams similar to Vitality,
who's seen a guy that you wouldn't necessarily think
to be a very aggressive lifler
into that main A-Rife League defensive position.
A-Dice plays it so well.
You know, Spinks is gonna be a guy
that you're gonna see a lot
that I think is gonna be very tough to deal with.
And again, this is a map where dynamic mobile-opping
is very important in Tours,
he's definitely got who fits that billing pretty well.
Based on what both of you saying,
you're feeling that mouse is gonna close this one out?
I think so.
Yes, I really do.
Again, I think defensively,
they should be able to put up a really good score line here.
That's a side of the method they've always been very good on.
I will say, and again, we've discussed multiple times throughout today,
their T-Sides do sometimes lack on this map.
And yes, it is true that the T-Sides of this map is quite difficult
in comparison to some others in the pool.
But I definitely have seen them have some issues dealing with the T-Sides of this map.
So that could be something that comes back to hop them.
But I think for me, I need to see no ones, you know, prove to me
that they can make use of these aggressive positions that they're being put in.
because so far this series on average they haven't been.
Let's do score lines, thus I'm going to take,
I'm going to take mouse 139.
That's actually pretty solid.
No, because you're guessing like what like mine,
CT rounds, ATT rounds, something like that.
Yeah, they'll break through.
Paravisional break through in a couple of their V attacks,
just because they can be ferocious, the right flash connects
with the first defender and then Zwei does get the entry.
So they'll get a few on that side, just enough of a buffer.
And we know mouse is going to struggle
once they swips, swaps the offense.
I think that's a good point.
Yeah, I think that's a pretty good score line.
You mentioned that you have some question marks around Mazda's T-Set on overposs.
I mean, what do you think that they could do to improve that as the season progresses?
That's a tough one.
I mean, sometimes last season, it felt like they would have difficulties adjusting
without a timeout.
And so, Cycron, we have to come in, say, this is the backup plan.
We're going to start going into this.
And so, Berlin, I also don't always think that there is
the best mid-rounding. Sometimes they do praise in for it. Sometimes there's been games where they
take it over a favorite, usually in a group stage where I've heard Torzi hype and I'm up
saying, bro, and had all the good calls in this one. So usually it feels like in the high pressure
moments, maybe he's not coming up with those as much. And I would say in this kind of group stage,
you'll be fine. So it's maybe a worry for tomorrow. Yeah, I'm just like looking on average, I think,
again, I don't know if this is the cause of the effect, but I feel like Syracin's a future
production has gone down. And that's relatively noticeable in the last three to six months.
Again, I'm not sure if it's a system that's causing it to happen or if it's lack of
ensuring it's like holding back the system on you go either way with that one.
I think you're spot on with the pressure mid-round in situational Berlin.
Sometimes I want there's too many clicks in the kitchen too because you know that some
of these guys like towards you, like Sersh, have been known to be very vocal in their own
right.
And that can be very helpful if you have an inexperienced engineer leader to actually have other
people that can help you navigate through tough times and have a coach like Ciceroen who
is definitely kind of known as the mind of this team similar to how Halley is kind of
known as the mind of spirit, so to speak.
So I do wonder if any of that comes
with the play, if it's certain pressure things.
And yeah, I just think that they,
when they have an idea of exactly what they want to do,
they can execute it well.
They have enough firepower to entry
and trade their way into the correct positions.
But if you were in the building,
it's tough and they have to make a key adjustment.
They just sometimes lack,
like in a, they lose attention to detail
in critical moments.
Like even on that internal game,
yes, they want up winning, but there's one round
where three people wrap art and no one checks the corner.
It's just little details like that, as well as on Dust2 we talked about it.
Sometimes it's facing and how they're scaling together, it's just not there.
Sometimes things isn't there too trained when you need them to be because you're on the other side of the map.
Sometimes people are going one by one without having the ability to have some training efficiency.
So there's a lot of variables and play if you're like when it comes to their T-cells.
The sort of course back where we were talking about in the lead-up to this game,
it's about miles, always being at the most overused thing, but it fits so well.
Yeah, the brides made never the brad.
they're in all these playals,
but they're never quite doing enough to lift the trophy.
Do you think all these little sort of micro changes
need to happen if they do want to be able to go toe
to toe with the lack of fury or the lack of vitality?
I feel like it's just hard to always go toe to toe.
What those teams win your best player is more
of a lurky asset, which spinks as when I pin head to heads,
versus the vitalities and furious of the world.
Just feel like you get more in,
and I think that there's a regression
and exertions play in big moments too.
Whereas for example, yet the Nars are got that levels up
on bigger stages for whatever reason.
So I think that kind of to dusts point about exertion
doing poorly on the entries it feels like
whatever is getting to him in terms of pressure
is just it's insurmountable for him.
I haven't really seen progress on that front
for now three years of watching this guy make it
through playoff.
So I don't know when it's going to suddenly click for him,
but he'll usually farm a group stage,
always good for that.
It's tough because at first, they just
seen like they couldn't get passed by
talent.
And by talking, we're having the most
boundaries in the of all time.
The first half of 2025.
And so it's like, you can't kind of be
forgiven for that.
It's almost like liquid was to a
Strauss during their big air period, right?
But then it got to a point where it wasn't
just a Strauss anymore.
Now, they're losing games to Falcons.
They're losing games to spirit.
They're losing some of the other top five
squads.
And they were just kind of slowly seeing their
status move down as other people
leapfrog them.
G2 went out and won a tournament.
You know, at one of them, over by
telling them that's the five
that came a team that won four titles by the end of second season of last year.
And so it's like you're seeing all these teams kind of race by you and it gets to a point
where you have to wonder, have you hit your ceiling?
Is there more we can get out of this team?
I mean, they've been together, we've talked about it 387 days.
They won the last clue each year ago, no one since then.
Me and Miles play a lot of teams have one title since then, right?
So you have to kind of wonder what to do because it's almost similar to Miles in 2024.
It was the same story where they would be able to get to a lot of semi-finals,
It's a lot of playoffs, but the only trophies they really want
more kind of smaller tournaments and a lot of people's eyes.
And a lot of them want on big stages at prestige events.
And it's kind of the same story today with similar group
of players, gonna defend academy system, still on the team.
Remember when we spoke about the nerves and we would say
that they were churcus and then we saw Miles,
HQ, wreck, recreating the stage on social media.
And that's kind of changed.
I've seen them win on the big stages, but still just not quite enough.
I mean, is it going to be, you have to lift a trophy, Miles,
for us to change the way we're talking about them.
Probably, unless they do a player swap,
because the fan perception overall,
I mean, the way we feel about Mouses
that they are just going to be a consistent playoff
birth, but not one that is truly vying for the trophy.
There's even glimpses.
I really thought that their crackout run
in terms of two-howing falcons and all the previous teams
after the Aurora loss.
That, to me, I thought the form they showed
in those consecutive, I think it was three consecutive series,
was razor sharp and yet when they finally play vitality, it's not even close to that.
And that's not that's partially due to vitality being good enough disruptors, but I'm going to say
out right that was not even 70% of the miles we saw from the group stage. So to me that's
just a big mentality shift which will usually either come with finally hoisting a trophy by maybe
just dodging the right teams in a playoffs or swapping a guy out.
I don't remember we are unforgiving. So like you said, if they've hoist the trophy but they don't
play the big teams will complain if the trophy's not a big enough of it.
Oh, we always find a way. Yeah.
It'll just never be good enough. I'm kidding. It'll be good enough if you win this series.
It'll be good enough for power vision as well. We'll find out who's going to do that right after the break.
She said she loves you, but she can't love me.
But I love you.
I won't play with you anymore.
Let's go, no!
Play your horse.
One expand.
The human body was built to move, not trying to test get one singular posture to
12 hours a day, it's time your share evoke this is secret lab type of evil
ergonomically engineered for you, game, hybrid weapons, objects, and all of your every move
And so our series moves on to overpass the only recorded map between these two teams prior
to today's best of three going live Mohan back in Budapest it was one of the opening best
of ones, Mao is kind of pushed to the limits on a map like overpass by Jame who we
know loves this place and now it's a matter of holding them at bay. So we've got a
CT side coming through for Mao's to kick this off, a challenge for Parivision perhaps
as we saw what happened when the CT sides of Mao's get going back on the likes of Inferno
very stifling start to that second map of the series, but this is where the road ends.
Although we are at the beginning of the event because of the zero zero game to kick off this swiss group
And what looks like a fast play in a beat
Immediately straight into Jim his hands capable hands may I add as he finds that instant headshot onto
Noto we get a fair rolls talk in from Jimmy. He's got three other teammates to work with
Mous very much prepared for this V-site commitment. It's no surprise the parent engine lovely offsite
And now it's a locker as they try to push the issue into the B site.
The bombs thrown out into the mud and forced survive for mouths and they'll start the CT side with a pistol win, so this boads well.
And I do like that we're getting pair of visions T side because we saw the problems on inferno being a little one note.
We saw in Dust 2 it was a lot of the B plays.
And actually normally it's a, it's kind of them trying to bully the weaker site.
But in both of those cases I don't think that was necessarily the weaker site.
didn't really seem to have options when it came to a, um, and if they do that again on
overpass, it's going to be a bit of like flirting versus harassment when we talk about like
Aurora, who you coughed in time spam one say, but when pair of vision do we go, oh that's funny
that's cute, but if it doesn't work enough times, it's actually going to be a real
source spot in their game plan overall. Feels like to be, though, I mean overpass is one of
these weird anomalies for pair vision where it's like, I don't even know if it ends up
The site with the weakest player or they just love this beast I hit right through to like this everywhere
It does so confident in
People need to just spam this half of the map will today be the day that James decides to change the game
Probably
We can sit around and fight out and for now we have to wait because pistols in hand
Paravision
Salinoz
If I can't do anything else like this one, but Spinks doesn't want to be the guy that dies to a glock, now does he?
No, no one wants to be that guy.
Game does fine good timing though, right? With Spinks out long like that, and him seeing the fallback, I mean, I wonder if there's a world where the plant comes through now.
Bro, he's got a good gun for this though, just an MP7 back in the sight.
I'm sorry, but I'm worried about Lerix.
Spinks will confirm it.
The bomb will get dropped in the answer to the question is, no, not a single bomb plant
coming through so far in these first two rounds of play, I'll say one kill per round as
well.
So it'll be a nice round out for Torzi, where we saw a good inferno.
And you last couple shots were looking really good.
Sharp had a warm up map on us too.
I felt like the confidence was a little low.
Now in overpass, you have to be good, you have lots of ways to be good and you're starting CT and it goes right into that up.
I'm not seeming too concerned about the fire that sits in front of the boat.
Oh yeah, smoke grenade behind, maybe everybody getting cut off.
It's actually there's been a blast of the time.
It wasn't a bad time to do it.
see there's two guys up in heaven or at least one that was ready to flash, but they didn't
actually throw one and they could have gotten front of that. Now instead might be a bit
of a control. PTSD from when they got in for an old car control and then all of a sudden they
bunch of CTs are running at them.
Fatty's angle, but obviously they're she can't see anything. This is pretty weird actually.
I mean, Mounds can have short control, but if they don't see anybody, they just, and if they're not taking short, they're going to smoke it or Molly it, right?
Wait, they're moving it open?
Wow.
Wait, there's something to do with me.
Yeah, I mean, that feels like they have had a bad risk assessment on that one.
Connect your player goes down with nothing.
Not even a bomb plant, just the MP7 spam just clips through the edge of that wall.
And so, 4v2, down, deal with, and two players stacked up inside of the short side.
confident to take that position and angle over.
Every 7 gets found out.
It's still 3 survivors, not another kill comes through.
Nobody barring the towardsy death racked up versus mouths.
I mean, look at a laughing off the attack from pair of vision.
That's short control worth its weight and gold.
And it's, you know, they moved into it very quickly to give mouse some credit here.
But it is just sort of a pretty weak attempt.
If it's going to be a full B play, if it's going to be full through monster, you've
got a molly short.
You could smoke it, but even smoking it sometimes it allows them to spam back through it
Right, please do over top of it, but nothing at all leaving it open and then also standing behind the pillar
No one's even holding it. That was a little bit sloppy from parry vision a little too easy for mouse
It's kind of a situation I just asked myself like what did they think was going on?
Yeah, they didn't see any. Yeah, sure. Okay, B might be open, but
How many people do you think could have pushed fountain?
I mean, normally there's four guys there.
You don't see anybody.
You wind up having, again, a connector player, sure.
But that connector player goes down with nothing,
trying to find the timing on the squeaky peak.
Three kills across three rounds of regulation.
They're excuse me, it's not even, it's two kills.
I think somebody crashed at the end of that.
Yeah, I said no kill barring towards you, but you may have just DCed from the server in the middle of all that instead.
So we're worrying stark for sure for paravision.
Oh, yeah, he did, actually.
in the middle of the round no actually it happened so early neither was caught that
moment he died before the first kill happened he dc from the server before the first
kill happened I wonder if that's why Melchonot pulled back from the monster play if it was
like a not live situation hence why we're in now this time out or we're just fixing
I guess PC one or the two?
The same goes the best time to kick a man as one he's down.
That's you know what?
That is exactly what I've been told.
It is the best time to kick a man.
Do it a quick pit stop for Torzi. You can do the pit stop, noises.
And off you go.
My God, it's a record breaking pit stop here for mouse 2.3 seconds and back down the lane.
As Jane rounds near in the final turn, the curve and the A packs up coming.
I just love the words you can, that's the way I am there.
Tear under the bright lights of Las Vegas, we are underway.
I think only British people should be allowed to commentate for me the one.
I mean British people kind of have like a domination and commentary in general.
Yeah.
Canadians are up there though. I mean they made the language so I get it I'll pay my respects
but yeah when it comes to F1 it should just be British people all the time.
Because my favorite thing about British people is they get
they're very nerdy people. You know passionate about their hobbies and they get excited over
little details. You know like you ought to be a very detailed oriented person I think to appreciate
formula 1 when you're dealing with thousands of the second, etc.
sure because otherwise we're like oh nice right turn hey same NASCAR but
he's turned left 200 laps in a row
Yeah, British people, funny people. Yeah, very funny.
And the funny people.
And orderly people as well, I've heard very good at queuing.
They love queues.
And, uh, always ready to...
Always got an umbrella handy.
Always yeah, very very moist people
My favorite was landing in London and a British pilot saying it's oh it's looking like a soggy one today. Oh
I really put me in the in the mood. That's how you know it's gonna be very rainy. Yeah
Scared to ask what that was
It's true.
Love is in the air.
Yeah, friendly reminder.
Oh, walking.
Whoa, what the hell was that?
No, we didn't need to see that.
Get your gifts.
I didn't buy my partner flowers this year.
Nope. You didn't?
Nope.
But you did get something.
Nope.
I mean, we went on a date before I left.
Oh, right.
I did a pre.
That's smart.
She bought me flowers.
That's awesome.
Yeah.
I love flowers.
She's gonna make the right sound.
I'm down to a sale.
And you know, someday I'll be able to...
Yeah.
It's a good thing you bought me flowers.
It was funny. It's like the one year I don't buy flowers.
And yet, I received them for the first time.
That's what I was like.
How did we both mentally get this memo you must be doing something right?
Thank you
No should do a valentine they're all red I
Should do something I think they just want to win this game first then they'll
You know objective one yeah, it's gonna be a sour note
Yeah, sometimes when it's like a player's birthday you just I'm just crossing my toes that they win the game
Yeah, you know, I don't care what's that steak for the other team. I'm just like yeah
Because winning an important game of counter strike on your birthday feels like a gift and it's great
Yes, I feel like if you lose the game on your birthday, you just instantly think oh God
I'm old. What's this?
We've got something. Oh, it's Jimmy. It's Jimmy. Oh
Whoa, oh the double bird oh
and
careful now and everyone get Jimmy to riled up now
saw it happened last clue
the last is way to the finals his words
the only thing through the challenge of a division here on overpass
out to talk during attack pause so they're coming up with well you're allowed to use
sign language. I want to see those double jointed fingers again from Zersha and that was crazy.
I know what double joint today is but what does that even really mean? Do they actually
have an extra joint? I don't know. Sounds like I'm so double jointed and I'm like you're actually
just flexible. Flexible, right? Okay but no I'm double jointed and I'm like no you have five fingers
And presumably 15 joints.
Yeah double checking.
Double jointed.
Double jointed.
Double jointed.
I got to work.
I
Just like I got it snuck in and he was
He faked being good at sign language and then he ended doing sign language for like Obama
He just like that to stand by that
It's crazy
That's kind of messed up super messed up because the people that were relying on him
How did you get that job because it's also messed up, but no one else can tell.
Well, the people who can't tell can't really tell us. Yeah, you know, they're there. Yeah, that's, they had to write about it.
Yeah, that takes time. That seems unfair.
That guy's going to hell.
That I might be going with them.
All right, back into the action here.
Paravision.
3-0 down.
He said, look, it was in the air.
It's been a lovely CT side so far.
No real challenge, as far as now as aren't concerned.
and
not willing to go for any kind of forward expedition here in the fourth is miles just
this is a dangerous
dangerous set up
I mean
others marked out the shardin a starting push forward a little bit
Spinks usually doesn't mess these situations up.
Yeah, I got the info.
And I'll fall down.
Just look at the get out of here with the utility coverage.
You're from this, that's over the fight.
So one and done as far as his attack goes and towards the real not miss.
That has been a big difference since I've won.
Well, now we've got an AK breathing down his back and so he will be bested
a chance for the bomb plant, more kills than this one.
Then you'd expect a real crazy plan.
It's out of the open, just for the right of default.
Sir, should make it a long flight happen.
This timing could end up catching the munk prepared.
Now, back turn here from Belgium on.
It's magical to go.
Janeville in the meantime is grappling on to it.
This is chance to use it.
It's filthy.
Paravision from tech 9's through the bathrooms
even after we thought Spinks played it correctly.
Yeah, at least the first part.
Yes.
And then they do get to the top of the inside of Bathroom.
So the main reason it's dangerous is not because the positions are bad.
It's just that you don't have enough time for the rotates.
It's something goes wrong.
And if you want to go too for two, what goes wrong is towards the misses.
If you're going to play a anti-Eco setup, even though towards the hits one good shot,
you kind of need three kills between the two of you, right?
You can't just be two.
So they did open the door for something to go badly there because the B guys,
going to need six seconds or so to get back up the stairs get the fight from CT.
Well, that's going to give me a sound to think about.
It was actually broken when he played on Niplis the one guy I didn't doubt when they would play you all for passive setups where you could just sit there on that signpost and get a 3K ever after he's so good at it.
to see pick up for towards is that missed mallets all pops preemptively
i prefer this look from as you know it was a real contrast last round compared to what
was working you think of them pushing three players into the short side of the b-bombsite
Now the activity for Mao is sometimes where I love to sing their praise, so to see them just
shell up one round and absolutely lose it. Now back to what works better for them. We've got
Spinks in with the kill towards connector. Everything Paravision have to work with here and
round five as they go for converted round winds is going to be from long. There's a world they can
get dangerously close to the bombsite before anything can stop them, but we've already got
a second set of hands added to this AD fence in Berlin.
Yeah, and also, Spinks is taking a peek from the top of the stairs.
Oh, Berlin moves into position.
Clean, fondness, kill, he'll dive in behind the dicebox,
even pulling back to Optimus instead.
And the dumpster smoke comes through,
but they're gonna have to deal with any potential bathroom threats.
That's where that flash goes up into over four.
James, we're opening to get a target going.
And so right back to the domination that Mao's had
in the three rounds prior, there's not a single death
against the mouss here in the fifth round. That's pretty rough. I mean great seamless
tactics here for mouss just a little bit more forward play, which is what you want to see.
And this is Spinks. I'm not one of the more obvious ones, but you still see the movement.
The
sudden appearance, you're going to feel
crazy off this prospect, AK-4's yellow,
and we've got tech nines around him,
and it spinks his job to give
towards the more chances to play
forward, so he has more shots
in the round. Oh, that's crazy.
Somebody should have that right.
Stadis.
Stadis.
Stadis.
Stadis.
No, it's a picks it up.
Off-Zelo gets the two kills
with it. Of course they're just going to stamp he into this A-bombside. That was a very
nice timing for towards you to be sitting there. They walked the entire way at the
blue.
A-key ground for a Belgian Occ dead. So at least that's one A-K back on the ground. It is
recoverable. There is a few news coming in slow though. Jame is even slower. Up from the B-bombside
flanking these CTs on dumpster. James about to walk up these stairs and he's going to find
Backsturn to him for sure.
They might run in him with 9's out when they can't really take this.
Even as they've gotten closer to that bomb, James just waiting for the perfect moment to hit.
And Sways can make it all the easier by straight-up to Jimmy.
Put on ice.
Free guns to be grabbed.
Mouse floating outside of the bathrooms.
Two times now, this A setup.
That's possible.
That was strange because it was like,
of course he's own volition that he stood there.
I mean, maybe he wanted Spinks to be...
Watching top connector I can't imagine he'd be this wide you know not put the fog
And back to the past big past his cover
But it's big just so far away from it. I wonder you know, did he just think he he had the right way that they were gonna try to walk out
Now I'm not sure I just don't know what out the spings was doing because he was on like the flower box, right?
Yeah, he was good at walking
But he's in forward and he didn't throw any utility either, so it's kind of like, what is that gap?
Yeah, that's a... that's a... it's quite cool.
Sometimes maybe just, you know, one step too far back, but...
I mean, he feels like had a one-shot.
I wouldn't have been holding top connector.
Even if he was holding it from back there,
he has to hit a rifle, headshot, or towards his dead anyways.
So...
I mean, shut up, towards he for reacting to the first guy anyways, right?
Yeah, it's just really a props to note up for picking up that condom and getting the two kills that needed to move
Paravision forward. So moving forward through this half Paravision only trailing by two
On a T side of overpass. You have the money of mow is on the line all these rounds and no two will find another
Instant headshot out through top connector. This time speaks the victim as towards the leads back on the bomb site
But this is so much space yet again for Paravision to threaten the A site. Yeah, he's a demon
I mean, of course you try to play the little aggressive last round.
Support's coming in a little slower.
Peruvian actually have enough time to change up and go be if they want to get really crazy,
but they don't have anyone over there.
They're going to commit to this.
Of course he's got the trade, but it costs some another teammate back to back multi-frags here for
Nota and Torzi, hearing the commitment coming through that room still has another teammate to play off of.
search in in with a double kill of his own and a much needed moment here for somebody to give
towards a set of helping hands. Bomb hits the ground, Paravision felt like they had all they needed
to get that bomb down to potentially walk away with another round and it's an oddity to watch this
just because I've seen more a commitments from Paravision and this map of other paths.
Then multiple maps put together in the past. So first we'll just say gray round from Torzie
two good ops shots in for pair of vision this is a moment where you snap shot the map
there's about 40 seconds they they're doing so much packed play that they're always looking
one-dimensional now it feels like no matter what site they go to on any map here they're going to
commit a because they didn't have anybody lurking at the floor not a monster anything like that
it could have last round they had Jane Flank CT they know males aren't going to be ready for that
at a ton of times.
And if you nice to see a narrow vision of the spot where they get a kill somewhere,
maybe that means it could change up on sites.
They never seem to be able to do that though.
That's jammed down. That's a big win for TORSI.
Still this clumping of pervasion outside of the B-Bawbsite going back to the tried and tested.
I've already got now, it's just kind of crawling back to the site, trying to put themselves
in position with this three player strong set up flashes find their mark.
Faction and rolling hits two shots, allowing Jimmy to come through not a single casualty
by God, not a single point of damage.
Show nice.
Wow.
I mean, it's a flashes again with these guys.
They're so well placed, it's always when Tees are out in the open, never when they reach
their cover.
Or right before they're about to peek, it's always right when they're the most vulnerable.
see mouse capitalized on that every map and it's really it looks so effortless it's
very nice to watch and it's actually hard to replicate so gotta give him tons of
the credit for that.
It would be startling to see Parvision end this half with more success towards A, then
their favorite site.
and was want to say we'd be like a a pair of vision first all we surprising us
for better or for worst
worst you wanted it to one I did yeah we're gonna slant right I'm a little
I'm gonna find my brain kicked it.
I'm trying to keep eyes on what has been this constantly blown open, squeaky door.
Yeah, and that's another way that if TORSE had kept that open angle, that previous round,
If they had this boost or the vision through short from B, or through blue from B, then they could have done that.
It would have been fine. It would have kept an eye on that one sort of viewpoint. That's a way that close sides can work together.
Double wave here, double blow, you push down and step.
Ooh, that one gets away from the...
And for a defense that just held solid without taking a single point of damage, this time tech 9's tear through.
It's not the first time in this half-eyed attack 9's get the better of it.
So even with the Nades not finding their mark, that player pushed into the monster's smoke goes down with nothing, kind of awkward as the player's flood to his left and right.
Yeah, and he tried to play right in front of where they would flash, so he didn't get blinded.
But I think they might have bright-click the flash behind them as they entered, either way he was aided totally.
So, given a bit of space to get close to that be-site perivision,
reverting back to what they know does work.
And even after the round prior that did not go well at all,
they still, with less, approach the same bombsite, pull it off.
It feels to me like perivision, or just going to go be for the rest of this half now.
So it's a very good start for miles, but it's still only three round lead here, there's
The lot's of time for parabod and actually make us dangerous for mouse.
I'm gonna keep their foot on the pedal.
And a new look over to Wardsay, doubled up on long.
That's about the one minute timing that you can actually wrap this if no one shows up.
There's no one here, no towards the in balloons this time around.
They've kind of got their guard down a little bit towards long, but they're not going to see anything here.
So, surely they got to watch this.
I'm telling you that push is about to come.
Starting to inch forward now, a sphinx rounds the corner.
Tatch is Jaymon prepared, and he hits him with the instant shot.
Zellos gonna try to recover this, but he doesn't know that there's a second player tucked in close
And so it's he's so fixating on the big-
Oh, it needs a big map. It does it on his come on
Nice
Beautiful shot, space has to set the tent
Bring now off that multi-bragg
Fossil a little bit late to the party
But they're hoping to get the better of this barrel's player
And they'll truck will hunt down Jimmy's sure enough, but that is all they're gonna find
Single kill on Jimmy's flank here for three does get denied his single point in half-go
Not enough for a multi-frag and it's a majority of life now is that goes up seven three
Actually just getting a kill here and there
That's not enough man. As look too solid
Have long going totally unchecked and that time and getting left open
That shot well, yeah
the
other kinds of shots that should pump you up individually
this makes feel like an animal
and that's what spinks does bring rocks all of consistency a star consistency as well
It also feels great when you find that timing to that level of perfection.
You know, you didn't round the corner and then hunt them down and find the walkin'
towards Batteno.
You struck Jane down with a grenade in his hand as he's trying to run back into the play.
James Slain.
Four round of two versus now.
What is two tech nine's on the side of Paravision?
for the rest.
This pop-up came just walks underneath towards these angle.
Just to displace this aim a touch just enough.
go's one foot wide pops up into the hell angle in the
altitude, 10-time limitation, there's going to cost
about to knock. And all those search and peaks down into the
next one. This is just doing so much for the A-plate.
Oh, yeah. It's another player confirmed on this.
This is a lower wall. This is dangerous. The bomb is
really slow here. And there's still spinks in top
bathrooms. He's also got two angles. You can watch
from, we'll see how they vary this bomb around, but if it
goes long. He's going to run right into Spinks. Oh, this is even worse. Spinks can hear
him now. Rollins get a kill. Yellow over towards the ace, not even draws one of the
bathrooms player even further forward. Swag's shadow gives way to it. That's bonking
for your bite. Spinks and no trick back from no tunnel. Oh, Parabitian, bomb getting stuck
in T spawned by the time it shows up. Everything that it was coming to has died already.
Those just on one of those three guys who are walking out of the way have been a totally
different desperate scramble though, still an option. No took it to try to run this
back down into the b-site instead and he will find an open space for this.
We're getting the heaven quite quickly. I'm gonna land right on him.
Down to 56 versus three. Jimmy first on the scene,
Roland right behind him. Another name comes through that one. No damage, but it's fine.
Jimmy ends up finishing it himself and paravision waiting for that bomb to show up.
just lets Mao's go big enough to find yet another round,
eight-free.
Turning into a bit of a masterclass here,
if not for that one blemish on the B-Rush and the A-Rush,
like every other hard round they've made look easy.
Full rifles, no problem for Mao's.
But a couple of lackluster rounds for pair of vision, but like now we're getting like the
steak territory.
Yeah.
And again, not the first time in this series either, but you've seen it clearly, we all
be as issue that they've been kind of come back from.
But you're running out of runway here, map 3, round 12.
A three-side T-side, not ideal, searching.
With the peak into that spot, just the flashes.
No double base for the half wall this time around.
No real short control for perversion either.
Bump has stopped on that half of it all.
And so a deviation from the norm of pervisions overpass T-side.
It's not as constant as a B-site threat.
And it's one that opens the door maybe for some hiccups.
Some small issues that compound and offer mouths at 9 rounds CT side.
Five versus two with pistols at hand of what's left of perivision.
They've got a minute to try to group up and then somehow punish Torsi.
Who's just going for the jump spots?
In worst case you give him a bomb plant, whatever.
Last round of the half.
Play that five versus two retake.
eight nearly kills Jay spoke on the dumpster is going to make it interesting
but since it's happy to just still challenge through it why the hell not you've got so many numbers strong
a late as way to the party desert eagle one feet by the I don't think so nine rounds for the
mouse CT side there was moments there where it looked like they were getting tested
but ultimately pair of vision cracked first and mouse make the most of it that's hasn't been a great
series now at this point for pair of vision yes map one was it was exciting lots of
of the X-Factor moments and then like the streak at the end.
That was with towards you looking very shaky on day one into them getting very warmed up.
And so now Mao is looking like full strength, the tactics are amazing.
None of the shots they're hitting have to be hard because their setups are so good.
The flashes are so good.
It's just nice and easy.
Like it feels like Parvish and have no idea what they can do right now, except Rush.
pushing over will be, you know, will feel great for Paragission, for sure, but it's not
like Mouser going to fall off significantly when we get the T side for them.
just feels like torsions ability here on overpass as well as kind of putting to rest his struggles with map one dust two was not his game even in furno
we said like oh he played better and he did have his moments but still finishes that map lowest rated player four miles
There was moments where it felt like even his deaths within the CT side were kind of his fault
and all set up a missed timing
Maybe use complicit in some of those issues but 10-5 nonetheless.
Yeah, now is gunning for long A, inhibiting soon enough.
James got a teammate to drop his smoke in front of him, so do they let this corner go on check?
Jake has blinded on throw the silver block to the side of him.
This could be the end of it is now three players instantly dropped on now his arrivals.
Way in Belchinock will find a kill a piece.
But you've got this guarantee in spinks.
A slow burn moment here for spinks who's now also up towards the top of the board and now is going to let him hear it.
Yeah, I mean, those flashes are a brand.
They're, they're, it's working.
It's not just counter flashes, now it's on the attack.
The game is lying is the cheap one bullet, and then you realize it's like I can't see a thing.
Such an easy trade.
Two entries off of one flashbang from Torzys, not much more you can ask for on a pistol around.
That's quickly to 10.
Everyone on Bowser 10 are more kills.
Yeah.
needless to say this map is starting to turn into domination for Mous. I think it's going
to build well for them moving forward in the Swiss groups.
Marty Hotton, an unlikely candidate moving forward with opening game wins. I'm talking
about foot beating Aurora over on the B stream. Oh, yeah. I did call that one.
Ooh. So it march on. I mean, we've seen what they can do and they're a
new threat. Funny because we thought it was really
Paravision turns out there's more of that be old bucks. Yeah, that's a mean hungry challengers all over the place right now. These
hungry players though
No, how much for work is five seven and a few pieces of utility?
Force by situation for caravision as they can feel this game slipping away and unfortunately
You know, it's the doer dies situation that overpass can present you have a bad first half as a team on T side and
tied. We'll be lucky to walk away with this still four player situation, keeping the
five sevens for the next one, the Kevlar that comes with it. Maybe I'm writing it off
too early because Spinks is on the hunt. Oh, that's good. And yet three or eight. Well,
yeah, that's a grand save that was set up is now starting to go up and smoke alongside it as
is your hope of making the series competitive 11 three guaranteed for mous and just the sheer
frags that's just a huge issue across the border all the frags the confidence that's coming
with it now starts to chair over it. What search is coming back to cost them? Yeah,
last round. I'd be scared to do that. You know respect. Next thing you know, we'll have
mouse moving forward into the one zero pool to kick off Clues. Raining defending Clues to
poke a champions, right?
No, we want to pair on how hype this event was last year.
Oh, yes, crowd was phenomenal.
I think it's actually for expectations.
You know, people were having to come back to clues,
but we weren't quite sure what kind of crowd would turn out
considering it was a non-nature knocked our socks off
for 10 years.
Yeah.
We saw that house pad.
That's what we knew.
PGL.
Some flagship.
This one's got all the bells and whistles, most of the world's hero and competing out of
the gate.
Now I just want to be one of those teams yet again, seemingly will be, but nodes are trying
to extend play heavy bodies inside of connector.
Look at for the gun, as we'll get mouse a chance to take map control in the meantime.
I mean, they're rewriting out of, call it not even coming back up towards A, so they're
going to take the long-round wall exertion just over top of them and walk up take all this space.
And as they fan out, it'll only be two players here, look again at guns. That's not going to be enough to stop this.
They could put up good site defenses back on us too, just go get different fees right now.
And they're just not really ready for anything. I don't think they're mentally in this.
was not able to do enough.
And now there's Fawn is trying to slide out through
Optimus that will catch the mob.
So a finding his fifth flag of the map.
And Belgium, it's going to find a back turn to him.
Oh, oh, oh, hi, hi, hi.
They're just careful.
They've got everything.
Every T cross, every eye dot.
Oh, they knew.
Yeah.
They could sense something was up.
They figured out, and that's their 12th round secured nine map
and match points here for Mous.
Like a hedge right?
This is not a hedge.
Oh.
There's no problems.
There's nothing I have to say about Mous right now.
It's just looking fantastic.
Which gives me excited about how much damage they can do now versus other top teams.
But also a little bit worried, perivision.
They're trying to just at the start of their, you know, commitments.
after a tournament when you expect a bit more than this now.
The next thing to stun was worried about.
He didn't want to have expectations.
He wanted to be an underdog.
He came into the community and said,
Don't over-hype us because we won.
And that's the first thing we're going to do.
That's our course.
That is what we do.
We're snake oil salesman.
But it's not snake oil.
The man, a pair of vision.
We're the real deal.
But struggles and crack-out.
And a couple of very flat maps now versus Mous.
So I'm only gonna start scratching your head and wondering like, well, what is the issue?
Where is the issue?
Where is that?
I mean, today, on overpass, I'm just thinking to myself, like,
get Paravish and get their own heads and try to change up what has been a try to, you know,
like a successful game plan, with all the B commitments of the past.
Unfortunately, I think we're seeing a lot of similar stuff that used to work.
Right, it's just his day before.
Right now, we get this big group up of players inside of the B site.
We're gonna have a clock here.
It's either going to end with a pair of vision extending play on overpass or mouse putting
this one to bed and swing into the dice and that is going to be supposed for a trot
so it should on the trink right foot is good for one note to make it a double kill and
a late long play.
Sheets through the smoke.
Ooh, that's no talking a single one to palp, go ill easy, clean it up.
Oh, jay those wide, right into that stream of bullets.
Now the utility to just lock on Belchinox,
he's not able to stop the bomb plant.
You may still find Torshi, but that's all.
He's gonna get, now is making meads mead
of the pair of vision overpass challenge.
I call it a challenge, shit.
It wasn't fun of much.
133 to end this series
and you're raining, defending,
Clues champions move on to the ones you're open.
I mean, just to reiterate what score you say there was it was mince me of a
Paravage and such a convincing met one full mouse.
That's the mouse that you expect. That's the mouse that makes
Pails. That's the mouse that lifted that cruise trophy.
That's true.
That's literally such a great rebound after a very lackluster
does to a very shocking loss there.
It's you just come back and not let any of that leg them.
just goldfish memories and then came out and did exactly what they needed to do on
inferno and overpass to take care of this one.
Rather easily overall.
Jame, maybe he's paid by the round, but mouths, they just have a flat day, right?
They just ended it really quickly.
Really neatly.
Honestly, I felt like the CT side defense got way more out of it than I expected.
I thought that some of the coffee plays from Paravision Real workout a little bit better,
But Bowser really ready the early defenses from them kind of just where they had pair of vision off-kilter
They didn't they didn't always know where the first fight was gonna come from it wasn't just the the standard defenders in the pre-fire angles on bomb side
So good on Mao's to understand that they needed to just shift things up just a little bit to make it some comfortable
I tell you why does that a question for you?
Why did you think of Mao's T side here on overpa didn't have to play much of one did they say
after winning 9-3 in the first half and taking the pistol to kick off the second. There wasn't a whole lot required out of them.
But yeah, I certainly thought that the second to last time they asked you was pretty good. I give them that one.
But no, I mean, I think that this is just the case of all the firepower show that for now.
This is what they're capable of.
We're all the pieces right there because we've always just talked about how, you know,
mouse has a lot of widely distributed count on the team.
They've not had a crazy superstar like a doctor as you or a monocier something along those lines,
and what they do have is a bunch of players who don't quite really good, right?
And when they're clicking, they definitely have a five-partigocestinal with anyone,
and in a game like this, all five of them can put up substantial numbers against 18,
but just one time or anything.
I just really like the way that they've played some of the early rounds on their CT side.
I mean, I feel like when pair of vision were attempting to get into that B-bombs side,
So often they're just met with a guy, maybe behind pillar, but in the barrels area, but frequently
mouses were just playing the short side.
They were at the sandbags, they were in water itself, so they kind of either just clip
up one side of the pincer that would normally be going towards a B-site attack, and they also
just made it uncomfortable where pervison would sometimes get on to the bombsite, and then
they'd still be in a 5 on 5, but now they're actually getting flanked from the position
that usually the T's hold, so I just feel like the starters for mouses sort of red and
understood how perivision wanted to play, especially toward the B attacks.
And also look, I mean, you got this guy who's like your main rotator on the CT side,
getting a kill almost every round, it's only three rounds where you didn't get a frag.
And so he's always kind of rotating and putting himself in the right position to be able
to support his teammates, hard-flime frags, you know, to help sex lights, whatever that he needs
to be there.
So just all in all, good reeds from house, good playing off of each other.
You know, we kind of praise him on in Farno for my, like, my flash assist, make sure that
people are swinging him to Evan Paint's goal.
He saw a lot of that throughout this CT side as well.
and it's just a thing in care of business.
You know, there's just a mouse that we wanted to see
that we didn't get in dust tube,
but we got the rest of the series, and so, law done.
Okay, so now if you're on the side of a pair of vision
and you're jam and you're destined
and you're going back to the locker room if you'd like
or the practice room, what are you taking away from this?
What are you looking at going,
oh, probably have to change that for tomorrow?
I feel like this is kind of where the pair of vision
strategy or styles sort of hits a wall
when it's against the more well-rounded teams.
I mean, I was not shy about saying this during the bounty event that I felt like so many
of their approaches on offenses were very one note targeting a single bomb site because
you know that there's weak defenders but when you play the teams like, well, they beat
Furious to their credit, but when you play teams like Mao's or Vitality that are just
so well rounded, it's very difficult to just say, yeah, we're going to target this bomb
site over and over and kick because even though Yampats in a little bit of a slump and form,
he's still one of the better anchors that are in the world.
So he's not an easy pickings target who you can just hammer over and over again.
Maybe they got more mileage on Dust 2 than I would have expected by hitting Yimped and
Spinks.
But I think there was a huge correction to form when Mao's go on to their comfort
pick and when they go on to more of a middle ground map.
Yeah, they're fortunately for it.
You might pair of it.
I think they are a little bit reliant on either just trying to have the counterstatt against
a weakness state for seeing the other team or going for this really pacey plays and when
the going gets tough, they have to slow things down and mid around a little bit more.
I think the inexperience really kind of shy through
some of these players.
I think that you saw some of these younger guys
get really hot with their rifles at the tail end of last year.
At bounty, we're not seeing that same form show up at crack
out and that this event thus far.
And so that's going to be something that you have to kind
of think about a little bit as well.
And so I think there's just conflict with that experience.
I think maybe expectations kind of got catapulted off
of one really big permit result.
When really, yes, that was a fantastic result.
But we can't count on that to happen repeatedly.
I think anybody who thought it was going to carry on
like that was was mistaken.
You know, it's going to take time to build up to a level
where you can do that more often.
It really felt like Paravision and Jay
am kind of bootstrapped this team
to be successful versus all of their successive opponents
at the bounty.
And that's, that, I mean, that's why Doston and Jay
deserve a lot of credit because they made players
who were fairly inexperienced look extremely sharp.
They got the absolute most out of them,
but this is what happens when you have to take your time
around time kind of believes out.
And you have to try to go through steps a little bit more
carefully, then just popping right into a play in the first 45 seconds.
So, I would say at the end of this really lot of credit goes to Mao's, but again,
limitations being shown here for Perivision.
We're halfway through Dana, but one here at PGL, Cruz, Nopoker, and the big boys
are getting ready to come out to play.
I also heard Pimp Yanker and Richard will be here as well in a little bit.
She said she loves you, but she can't love me.
But I love you!
I won't play window anymore.
What's going on?
Play your role.
Let's go.
The human body was built to move, not crowded with desks and one singular posture for 12 hours a day.
It's time, your channel evolved.
This is Secret Laptide Mewer.
ergonomically engineered for you.
Game, I reward this.
I'll be back in the old every move.
I suspect the reason why we're still alive.
I suspect that the reason we're still alive?
I suspect that the reason we're still alive?
I'm definitely not sure.
By TALITY have been dominant once again and when it comes to the prestigious events
and they're looking to do it here, they're cruising the broke I got apex from by TALITY
And let's just look at this right.
You're starting off 2026.
Similar to 2025.
Does that give you some vibes?
Give you some feelings, or ready?
It's too early to save me.
See, I mean, it's good, but no.
It's not like bringing the step of 2025.
We're not even thinking about it.
We just take even favourings.
We're going to give our best at each event, and that's it.
And that's what you guys always do, and it's worked out pretty damn well.
Now, you yourself, you said that Zy will play the best of it
ever for himself, right?
and we saw this.
I think this was a standout performance,
but did you know there's something different in here?
Well, was it just...
No, yeah, you can explain shit some life,
because there's a lot of people who are,
oh, he always plays out this, but this is a different level.
Now, people don't imagine that they,
I mean, that day, or that event,
they played the way differently.
He was more aggressive, first of all,
something that we liked a bit sometimes,
something like doing more training, six and a half.
And he was in the mission,
while with the help, he used to miss a bit more,
and use the hope more than usual.
Yeah.
And that's really good for again because, I mean,
of course, when you are AVP has the hope
of time it doesn't miss.
It's quite good for you, Tim.
So, and actually, I think that's two of the five players
who played the best at this even part,
I think Rob's in the music,
we're not on the best shape.
I mean, I'm honest.
And but we didn't see too much
because I was just too good.
So, imagine if I would be with being like that
and the two others at the level, I, I.
That's a problem, that might be game breaking.
I guess, and you're already close to doing that as well.
You say it was far from your face.
Is this something you're expected to see as the change for him now?
Like a...
Can you rely on it?
I mean, we can't relay on what you did because it's too high to be honest.
Not what he did, but maybe the way he was playing.
Like in that style now.
I really hope that he's so himself that it can be so much like even more useful,
Well, it's in our game because it was like, really, of course I was always good, but
people can't see that it's a big difference from what is done there than what you usually
does. And it was like, yeah, it was actually really good to play with that and it had
us so much on our role to get a few entries or it was communicate even more than before.
So it's some of when you feel it like that.
Of course it's a lot easier.
Yeah, definitely.
clues, clues the poker.
You have history for you here, mate?
11 years ago?
11 years ago.
Some people watching, one of them,
watching counters right back then, right?
But you did lift your first major trophy then.
Now, does there come any feelings?
Does there come anything into your mind?
Did you reflect on a bit of nostalgia?
Of course.
I mean, when I arrived,
when I knew we would participate to this event,
that was like, okay,
that's where I won my first major,
back in 15.
when I was an angel frugger, that's a long time ago,
in a career as a long, long time, most in CS.
But yeah, I mean,
the good vibe, a different moment of the year,
I think I won in November,
no, it's a family, it's a bit different,
but actually the thing,
I think that the city itself improved,
I think it's a lot better now.
I like, I went to work yesterday,
and I do, like I remember a few things
that were not the same,
so it's actually good to be here,
11 years after,
and hopefully make it happen again.
So it's like you've improved the cities,
improved the total improvement around you.
Yeah.
Ready to lift it up on a trophy?
Let's see.
That's the goal always.
When the VT parts are built into the mountains,
it's here to win.
But other teams also want to win.
They also want to get their hands on a trophy.
And as in Peruvian for now, I'll get the trophy.
So yeah, I think the big dogs are hungry.
They're from this area.
You're going to keep trying to steal it away from them now.
Now, I also want to look at,
you've always spoken about how good you guys
manage the schedule, especially last year, right? Obviously here you're doing the
getting of the events packed back. Still feel good, still have that same kind of
idea on the energy and feeling. Well you have to make choices between events and
first we have to look at other rest, of course we have to look at the via
response, we have to look at like our big tournament here in our many
teams are going there, we need no to look at the green slum. So we had a lot of
to look at, but first that was the best idea it was to do that. First of all, because a
lot of them came to Clush and PGL got bigger and bigger last year, so that was also for
us our first one in the movie, Spiegel and every team are here except her spirit, so it's actually
pretty good. And last I just want to finish up, I was asking, I know your goal is obviously
lift the trophy, that's all you guys have to do. But what do you feel could be the
the biggest thing that could stop that from happening, or which team could be the biggest threat
to you guys here. It's a classic answer, but first it's ourselves. We know that if we play our
game it's tough for any team, but we have the players because we have the team play because I think we
have a bit more everything than others. But here obviously we just beat them in a grand final of
Kakko. They took time for them to come back at the 2022-25 end level, but they are here now.
Yeah. FarCuncer was a dangerous threat. They are amazing players. Unfortunately for them they didn't
and go through the group stage in Cracko,
but we always know that's a
niricant falcons out of the tournament, that's for sure.
And Mars is always a tough project, even though
we did them last three times, which we lost a demo zone.
It's possible, spirit on and there.
I think that's the three big, big dogs
that can stop us, but once again, we play our game,
it's gonna be tough for them.
Well, let's see how soft it will be for them.
Thank you very much, everybody, for your time.
A good luck, man. Thank you.
Yeah, it's hello everyone and welcome back to PGL, Clues and the Polka. I'm your host, Richard Lewis,
we're changing things up on the desk, so let me introduce who we've got for you. We have of course,
we've got Jacob, aka Pimp, he played for, I think, two of the organizations that are here, 3D Max and the heroic.
Yeah, true. Yeah. On time ago, though. Yeah, along a very long time ago, you know, he knows what it's like to go deep and win in trophies and similarly, although we might not have ever done it as a player, we have Jan Coe and of course Jan Coe, former coach of phase, did win some trophies over there as well.
So, thanks for joining me on the desk. We got a binary series to start out. We're going to be talking about fight-tallowy versus G2. But just to start, why don't we take a look at the results that have been going on so far in the tournament before we came in?
A few surprises are at least one big surprise to me here.
Well, big Thursday, food, beating Aurora, I'm not sure if that's a big surprise, but Aurora,
I really started.
Someone said, you were a foot fetishist over there, I didn't know what that meant.
No, neither did I, you know, I'm not quite sure it's certain, and it's true either,
but I'm a footfane after what I've seen so far.
Beating Aurora is nothing necessarily the hardest task at the moment, but to do it in the opening
game and to do it in the fashion to do it into me, I'm a bit surprised.
I'm also surprised face to all with someone, even though it's a success without an
an offer and we're just standing still but it's been a rough start of the year for them
and you have football on the teams on the rise, sort of a dark horse to make the playoffs
in this event as well. Over on the A-stream mostly taking care of business will do.
I think I didn't have a good track record against Navi, the last couple of years.
Yeah, head to head but I think with these current iterations of the roster,
just a matchup isn't good for a Schwell as map all wise, you know.
like Miragell is being opened for Navi and then a Charles Picnook today didn't go so great
overpass that usually pick Prima Band of Navi so it's more so it's not a good match of
when Emma and I started this is facing a decent team you know it doesn't really matter who they
had this at this point so that's all we did. Now I mean it to be fair it's all we did have a
a brilliantly awkward interaction with Hoopsie and the elevator at the hotel where we just
stuck in there with each other for a while, but anyway, it was good to talk to him a very
little bit about the international line up and stuff and it's a different Australia's
a different era they're trying something new so we'll see if that translates here in the
close but for now let's turn our attention to the big one which is of course vitality versus
G2. These two teams obviously know each other intimately by this point I feel like they've played
a lot in 2025. I felt like they kept dropping up against each other.
You know, actually, to be the big one is the last one, right?
Right. And the grand final, first thing to be to Italy in the best to five,
out of left field G2 had a great run there.
No one tried to do Hunter got sick, couldn't play that game the last time around.
So, yeah, and I think for G2, obviously what they did in Krakow is a must in this season.
like they have to be making playoffs, right?
Like first season is always,
there's a lot of changes, new players coming in.
You want to see if you need to make more changes
in terms of positions, roles, and whatnot.
So they have a full season of that,
but now it's time to get some wins
against some of these contender teams
to make playoffs to keep improving and sort of show
whether this roster can become a contender
or do they need more.
Well, obviously they go over to against the monsters
Vitality, we're going to start by talking about G2 because obviously you don't get to talk
about them a lot because you're not just Vitality at least.
So how have they been doing?
What's the temperature check?
I'll start with you, Jan, Col, obviously I know you know the guys, you know, and
obviously friends with them to a long long term.
He's transitioning into IGL.
What's your coach rating for him?
How do you think he's done?
I think he's done very well when we honest with you.
And I judged that from some of the things that, you know,
some of the mid-round calls that we saw during that
Blaster on a special map like in Furno, right?
Because when it comes to protocols and opening
all of that stuff can be set.
All of that is also the coaches imprint on the game.
But once the round breaks down, that's where you, you know,
show your chops really as an IGL.
And I think he's done a good job at that,
a bit of juggling between individual performance
and leading the team has had some very good games,
but some very bad ones as well trying to figure all that out.
And on that note, one of the players he's had to try to activate
is of course Mowbs, Mowbs finds himself in this position now,
where, you know, he meant to be the star, is he not?
I feel like it goes a bit under the radar,
and how he's been conducting himself as of late.
His 2025, as you can see, wasn't necessarily bad,
wasn't necessarily great.
Again, the conversation around him taking over Nicos World and becoming the next big thing
what in G2 that was sort of what we expected, that was what he was brought in for as well
when he was signed in the first place for G2, haven't been able to deliver on that front
and the beginning to 2026 as well as been even worse off in terms of him not having any individual output.
So I'm looking towards melt right now and I'm thinking, I see certain moments, certain things in the game
where yeah, he still has that, you know, racer sharp aim, but in terms of consistent
be showing up and actually helping out Honda, making sure that this T2 roster is
want to be reckoned with, I'm not seeing it right now.
I think the perception of valves is maybe wrong in that regard.
If you are seeing, if you're looking at them and you're hoping to see the next Nicole
whoever, you know, a star player in that role, I think that's a mistake.
I don't think he really is up to that, you know, to be a player who controls a lot of his
teammates and is talking a lot and instructing other people like to do.
But if you look at him as a sort of a framesy type of a player,
yeah, I think he can be really, really good in that role.
Play anchor roles on CT side, be the, you know, space
stakeholder on the T side, play in the pack, utilize his aim
to the absolute most because I think that's what he really
excels at.
Tall order for him today and indeed for all of you too,
because they're taking on this team,
vitality and we've got the veto coming in.
Where can you go? Where can you hide?
Well, you can't really either have an option to go for anubis again to try it as G2, you know, they try it again, spirit didn't work out
Against liquid they had a close win. Mirage is the other option. It's the only map that
Vitality has lost actually lost at two times a day later this year to falcons with a stand in and then also to fury in that grand final
So that makes sense also when you look at the fact that it's not as terrible to start with a T side on Mirage
is it might be on some of the other maps and without actually going for inferno
it's interesting I thought maybe overpass would be really good for them here
they're on the field on it this year. Yeah, that's the issue right if you're
to, there's no way you win this video. Banning does too is interesting as well you
know that's that's more so saying but sadly we know that I could be the best team
in the world on the map but they they see T2 being a formidable force on that map as well
and then forcing it then it will be so sad. This also feels, this almost feels like
to me, without you really wanted an Ubisoft to be there if it goes to a third to sort of
practice it here a bit. I don't know because that's too man, like they've lost it maybe
five or six times with this roster. There's since it's been foreign, right? Underfeet this year
on that map as well. Sure, these G2 also enjoys it, but for vitality to band us to against anyone,
I find that odd. So maybe it's one thing that's more reps. Yeah, we won't wrap more reps on them
It probably, I mean, it shouldn't realistically go all the way to the third map vitality
just been in such red hot form and we wondered whether they'd be able to bounce back,
you know, that second half of the year when Fury had came really in a sharp focus and then obviously then we have the major and now starting the year with trophy wins and to be honest looks like they're going to get a cake
for the grand slam as well for back to back grand slam. It does look very good for about tell you obviously but I think if you hope for
competitive game here. One thing that could be said is that we have
see mortality in certain group stage games, experiment a little bit. Maybe
sometimes not showing up with the same lace of focus that we see in the
playoff games. So as much as they're winning right now and as I don't want
to grease the best team in the world, it's not like they always dominating
in the beginning of the tournament. So if you're due to, you gotta hope that
there may be a little bit under the weather right now that they're willing to
experiment a bit with the map pool as well. And then obviously for
YouTube, this is a big test, you know, to see how far away are they from the best
team and one. I'll bring in our common three pair. It is of course
funge and machine. Gentlemen, I like you must be sick of talking about
vitality. It's hard to be sick of casting and discussing the
very basic thing. It's the legacy building. That's what I like. You know, we've
lived through the Australia here and now we're lived through the vitality
one. So that's kind of fun to see how far they can push it, right? And also
having a big bad. I feel like that tends to bring the teams rising up there.
They will throw the target on their back and they're holding onto it, which is
such coin process.
Chad, I'll ask you because in many ways you're
segmented at being the new Eastport
historian there, right?
So you've been around so long.
So you bit with this across the block.
I mean, that's great.
We got talk about it back.
And it's well, where are Vitality in relation to the great
as far as the old conquering ones?
They're right there, right?
We don't know the end of the Vitality story just yet, right?
But I think in terms of the elite, it's Vitality.
And it's a str as the two of them.
Nek and Nek and my mind right now.
And if I tell you, they have a good year to be all this.
That's story guys. I'm gonna let you do the cast against that.
I'm disappointed that we didn't get out of them. It's Valentine's Day and they didn't discuss at any point what
dust is gonna do with his evening. That's a great question. Also, a good story and thing.
You actually just got back from Poland. So there is a difference there as well.
Sure. Well, that...
Check out this pistol round by Tality.
Block B. Now what's gonna be an investigation? That wasn't gonna be the finish. You can see this
spread right now out of G2, one play waiting grab, and it's just a surprise. Obviously in
Palace's Mattis, so the round still has a lot of legs to it, Hunter with a smoke and a flash
and something to make their way down through underpass that we're connecting with heavy god,
top middle I'm sure. Now the CT setup was leaning for a B play. Now Z playing ticket,
and we'll be baiting in that of Apex, and this is what you need to keep in mind for G2 for the
entire game. Always keep that loose piece. It's Rob's underback in USApex playing in these
CT setups because Varide is the spice of life. Yeah, and Vitality R, spicy.
Smops that's going to have that first contact likely here on the Uncrout Spots. The bomb
spots two pairs of legs head and towards that A-Site Apex with a reaction tucking in.
The smoke providing necessary cover for them to get into the A-Site. Now, Mesa,
Spotted out CT, Apex still overlooked is actually going to be mob's finding
ropes as that first blood opportunity for that clawback bar.
Top of the night.
Now, in Houston, Pius was never ready for Apex.
Beautiful execution.
Overloft and double kill.
Now, on opportunity for them to close this out, despite the number
discrepancy both jungle, how are you supposed to pull this off?
Long range USB headshot, connect to Rocks.
Oh, hi, that's a great one from heavy guard hang on.
He leveled the odds.
Plains, he claws one back and now heavy got in Mclarge.
I was low. A single bullet onto that. If you can just get her flancy, you can run
inside when it was not knocked off the bomb. Oh, but I had shot there in time.
This one's going to be down to the wire, isn't it? A few's coming in, but
should be all good in the hood. I mean, truly had to hit that shot.
As I will have it got was setting up G2 for a real rumble.
Okay. Well, again, I want to address this apex playing Joker.
That's something that we see a lot of teams doing, but the same the vitality to really well on their CT side.
The be these moments where they're pulling flames, the inspector fights to the apex,
they'll be round for their hard rocks, not playing shore, playing in the air, on the other hand.
And apex is very well there to get the double.
Yeah, some pines is probably going to be the most frustrated about that one.
Just caught bash away, looking the wrong way, and because the result of his negligence makes me a bit tiny too.
Very new setric and rifles as well seem to be priority three of them head towards Midland and load their mags
Have you got to go and say okay know how to go with it?
Until a bit below
And very similar open just different players in different positions you
But the full spread the full spectrum right now for you to as they do
They in this mid-tintrol be in the bag
There's these not really buying it, but we have to have the back turn that's if Rob doesn't beat him to the punch
Oh, I'm sorry.
Oh, yeah.
I'm happy seeing you go catch you.
I will off guard him.
Flames he's brought down as well.
Impact from that marbs digger.
This one's getting competitive.
Once coming up that ramp side, and marbs is actually stepping into the line of fire.
He's bringing the fighter robes.
Doesn't have the help of their choice.
The cool's dead.
Yes, he is a multi-kill from marbs through mid or his solo mid-play.
It's actually got you two in a minute to win it.
As you messing with the marbs mind, with the sound cue kit on sight,
You need to win this one quickly, yeah.
Yeah, I'm absolutely not a bit massive round out of marbs G2 second round converted
in the absence of a pistol.
So that's just chaos, isn't it?
So it's a pretty limp fake on to B, you don't get anything done, but they take the space
off the back of it, Hunter taking Apex down and then marbs being able to lurk through
middle.
And there's just chaos on all fronts that up the deal with it.
So this is marbs coming up the back lines, and then the second one is fantastic trade,
Extra really nice.
The setary box is low on HP, holding the door that was from the D-Bake and then coming
as he walks in the same line of fire.
He's a force by back from vitality.
I mean also give him extra credit, not only to come on to the V-Pege, but he's engaged
with that fire on ramp.
With that kind of enabling mouth to find out what he's job finish.
Well, well, well, well, well, well, well.
You were telling me just before we got started, Chad, you expect this one to be entertaining.
Can you give me as a reason as to why?
I love the counter for the G2 play and I think that the pieces is rather than some of these
glaring moments from some pies, marms is on a redemption arc at the moment, yeah, because that's
what they brought up, not really.
Highlighting, how much better he looked in a couple of key matches in crack-off,
but he was not just hemorrhaging opening deaths, he was actually finding a lot of opening kills.
So we know that G2 can't throw hands, it's about the consistency of that, this is another event,
the desk ironing at where they have to make playoffs otherwise there'll be questions about how they've got it forward
Now I'm moving into A with his execute
This is a nice multi-time stairs and so we just spy on a great shot is immediately traded now
for the importance of provision
There's a needle behind that jungle smoke
I actually looked at my little open head back for CT with centric retake
In fact scoundrels are the ones I will scout
Oh, nearly BIPPED to pick you now there's not a map
What?
There we go to happy and welcome to take the job
Oh, he's so precise with it. He takes down two of them.
Shadowed him through his emphores crosshair.
Come first.
Look at that chance.
It drops managed to stay alive for a moment longer.
They had that one completely covered off.
It would be the eco now.
So an opportunity to get themselves up to a 3-1 lead.
The G2 side of the server.
Some will tell you.
But this one we got 3-2 max taking on Falcons.
We're going to check that out.
I think it's Moses and Dinker bringing that action.
that action. I'm not very interested to see how 3D Max furthest you get it hasn't necessarily
started fantastically but uh, close to the poker perhaps got a different story. It's just the
same conversation that we have a lot of teams where we are having the same conversation as we did
for the calendar year 2025. Now it's been the biggest because they get so close but also far, phase
is it working is it not? Well it's not a major but they did win their opening against heroic.
Then 3D Max, we know what the team can offer, there's moments where bodies the best
player, lucky is the best player, Max is looking great on the all of exercises,
precise gravity had to grab the performance in crack-off, and then everyone goes like
well they're an aggressive team, they just push. They make that play the work and they
strike all against the bigger names.
In their year review they're going to need to be where they say we're going to try and
you know, not just be so one-dimensional, I haven't necessarily had the opportunity to
to see too much of that game's first hand.
Apex is really, okay, Hunter's gonna work this out.
Surely.
This is not the one that I remember.
I've got the name of it.
He takes it actually denied the access.
Now with three children in the speed of these USPs,
they're getting headshots.
Oh no, he lost the bomb boy.
He's heavy-shot here to save the day.
Well, they know where he likely was.
This is the A-look.
Good grief.
So I can find this quickly, the E-code.
Well, a lot of control right now.
Pomp down in any territory
Are you gonna kind of get him a bit of room right you want to sound to you ideally if you as I will you plan for some info trying to catch him in that inaccurate moment as he leaps out the window
And he's how to give it to you. Okay window
28 seconds pressures on heavy got retrieving the bomb is primary objective. He knows
It's just a little like it was about to be a funny
the clown fiesta moment there with the boost in window and then you expect
with the US pizza run out and just get farmed up but the fact that by
tally snatched out one away is that guaranteed 3-1 lead, that guarantee after all.
Did it get any kills? But apex did block the window and move, probably even
that you get some pressure. Who's up in the lofty tier as well?
Rops there.
Snatched this one away. Okay, well,
They ain't back home, on at least.
It's fast with my actual wars go, G2, and now the ones who could be looking,
you should take it early, yeah, no.
They're going to be careful, tread lightly, otherwise you too, looking for that
p-day loan.
These are one of those rounds I'm talking about, as far as variety.
Essentially looking at the radar, it's five players ready to fly at mid-up.
Check this, there's nobody fired in A, there's nobody worrying about absolute jumps,
but this is five players essentially, and my war is now the AFX's very heading back over to
B, but they want to be in.
Okay, well, I'm just going to get that bare feet, so that's pretty low sport,
The last solid connection, he's stomachs 50 damage and there's another way that I've been from.
Hunter, he's gone! He's just at the kitchen sink, thrown at him.
Then you take the space on A's right now.
And that's what they're doing, surging forward, fling, trying to clip clear and cool mid clear.
Good timing on the engage with some parts of the factory.
The Eagle Profit.
Double kill, just on that alert, good.
He's lost the sight, he lost bodies.
There's a piece that flashed my obzets in self-reft for success.
Yes, they're flowing nice there's maps 9 and 2 so show you when the e-code, but you are going to have to hold on to this one apex
Need to keep tabs of the financial situation and next round. Well, they're lost bonus back bottom of the barrel
There's 4.5 and 4.3 on zi would you do those saves with the e-code win?
So if he holds on to this can get another decent looking by going forward
But this is one thing I'm talking about the variety of the CT setups if G2 and a position where they're able to identify like they did there
Right, how to say there's multiple players from short throw in me notes
Right, the double netting me, they're mulling me in this setup.
It's likely they're doing this mid-fights setup.
So the fact that they're able to take the space and spill over,
they're down if they're early.
Next one's going to be OK. We're walking quietly onto a site,
and someone's ticking.
Make sure we check that. You can make sure we flash out underbar.
Can you make sure we clear sound, which those are going to be
the positions where you see rops as a joke.
Yeah.
That's where the nameplate counterstrike comes into the mix as well.
And if you were to watch, you know, the rops,
time-way reel of last year, how many times is it a multi-kill from sound,
which is it a multi-kill from being overlooked on the EAS egg?
So, I've hardly understood a bit of pressure right now. One of the keys is keeping the intensity from crack off into clues.
Yeah. So, I gotta get a stern talk into a thing. So, they weigh in at number one in Furner and then do this as a third of the setup.
It's pistols to compliment what is 2-8WP's. So, the extra cash being spent heavily from Rob's and Zyward. This might catch the likes of G2 off guard.
Yeah, what's your parving light through, Mip though?
So I'm going to cook it just when I have to some pious, but I want to try and run
at him.
Now I'll be able to consider it, Hunter partners up with him, it seems there.
Attention is set towards the window, Boos.
Molly is perfect in time for me, Bakes.
Notice you tilt your stand, he is trying to tend to the potential for that booze.
This is not your very mindful of if you have a tidy going up against a Hunter's G2.
Right, we know even back in the day, this was a movie that you go away with all the time.
No one quite as masterful with the timings of the windabooce, does this man right here.
But he has been flushed away.
So with the man advantage early, we're now the minute on the clock, and there's a decent amount of two sort of finish.
A couple of smokes, Molly's, and...
Hunter.
He's just gonna strafe out top mid to the island box.
So we'll be back to an A finish.
This is logically sound, Hunter's even got him on the top of the time, set it further.
Both smokes arrive in middle.
It's just a deal on the site of flames right now.
How much value can he get out of this?
Yeah, as I will close by.
Then we'll flimsy call for aid, connect to the host of the DMA part,
making it so much trouble, sponsored out, trying to delay, by time.
Oh, I was patient to reward.
It catches onto on the smoke walk.
Now enables him to set his sights on his palace fight.
Turning that U-T-O-L-X-A-D-4,
we're taking some space, Matt.
If you don't got top of the stairs,
it's the tenious trade, CTs, a threat.
mesi's he does it equal from the jungle side, but rops is what now revealed
a shot
that's it removes the head just matters though no time for the if he hasn't got time to find that last
frag mesi virtue of just a lie you've gives vitality a three-year-old story about all
kings and to a deal and Kevlar to the next round that is just now to be all pooker that's
some pious so show you win the round but your finances are pretty great right now so you've
won an eco and then lost your following gun round and now you've won a round but the only weapon you
saved was a desert eagle and cave. So as far as like kind of suffering from success,
if I tell it's a wind of coming across. I've been able to get in on that
ADP out on. So we're here. Oh, they got the all right up to the
forex coming in, they picked it up. Oh, me just in time. Alright, well I'll
pass you there. I guess it's over to what stairs was always gone down. So we'll
get that back and it's good to find for them.
Still compromises that I'm both sides now.
I'll spurn this continues to teeter as the last four rounds of trading blows by target
yet to pose consecutive.
That's going to be the moment to do it and take control of the financial game.
I don't want to talk about jokers, romps is borrowed at the bench, hoping to provide some support for the short side pincer.
Yeah, if there's the BXQ, he can say tucked in and activate late. Nobody's over to what's vent room.
It's like starting to ripple in now, that's when Hunters Q to move.
Yes, he's there way out in case it doesn't work.
It looks like it's gonna be mad as a noun for you to explode.
Have you got to join them?
Some pice has always given the bomb over.
So there might be the commitment here.
It's time to take it to space.
Here comes the Utah.
There's a, what's your reaction to this?
Preparing self, his multiple boots.
Avoid the flash.
Perfect shot.
How does it feel to live us?
And Matt is in combination hunter catches.
He pecks the job is done.
I think you're saving now, this rotation was so far away.
There were fire-down sites, it's very site-centric.
Are there expecting an execute on either ALB and, well,
the P-bombs site not putting up resistance on the board.
Apex in that interview with James,
talking about the players who needed to show up in Cracker,
well, maybe not needed to,
but the plans that you'd expect alongside,
as I was robs, didn't have the best tournament the same for Mezi.
Today, bombsite that falls pretty easily,
as flames will investigate,
see if you can upgrade away from this.
I will maintain the AWP, and we'll continue
to trade blows.
Who claims his position looks like it might not in my kill here?
But it's how intelligent will you be.
I agree. Here's the answer.
And so, I'll have to convince it.
Yeah, and right now you have this saves I will or,
but you only got the 1,400.
So this is still forced by territory.
I wonder if X has wants to take a time to have a conversation.
So I will be dropping in for the rest can upgrade in 5, 7,
or pistols again, but you're getting lacking you to.
And if you don't force by behind the AWP, then you're going to lose it and you're not going to get it back for at least a couple of rounds time.
So they will be operating with that option.
Robbs will be the man who gets the upgrade.
Everyone else in with the pistols this time, it will be 5'7", instead of Degos.
And right now, it could be a pretty quick execute into wards A.
Robbs is here. The joke up. Let's see, go over, look.
Okay, pecs. I'm with fire against the cross to the side before them.
arrives and I would take the D.B. line. So as he's rotating as well.
I think it was the try to save her even around the flames.
Rains is ready, and let's get back up to the job.
Rob first, let her play easy, but she's through. He's done very well!
Just some piers left, cowering in the corner.
Five-seven of that range just shredding.
The combination with Rob's who takes the first fight to spite being the Joker
And it wins out nicely for vitality.
So now it's a six straight round.
So the St. Pass is going to win a 1v4 with him in it on the clock and a 2vp on his back.
And at least he has the bomb.
But this is the end to time.
Maybe not in the way, expected about these teams having some really quick and concise rounds.
That box mode Tetris as well.
Was that for him by the CT?
Yes, it was.
Yeah, it is.
Yeah, it is on the pistol rounds a lot when players have Julie's under the balcony.
As way is to do with it, but it is tough in the moment.
you want to get in that smoke and then carve out of it together, creating lots of different options.
Well, we saw how effective it was for flimsy and his reactions. As soon as he gets one,
he can find an angle, he can push through, that's overlooked, backturned, and a double kill.
I'd said that if he's right now, if some pious holds on to this, he can drop an AK.
Have you got to be able to get a rifle of his own? And they should still have something
decent to work with, because the force by wars would not be over. This point, we are way
they're laying either of these teams having proper full buys.
And this is tough for in-game leaders to work with because you're not going into rounds
with full weaponry and full utility.
So your game plan, especially what your practice is, please those moments.
And you know, you might have some coaches or some teams who literally do practices,
where, hey, they might be winning every single round.
But let's do these buys, where we only have an alternate AK and a couple of pistols.
If you want to practice those scenarios, because these are the rounds that can change games.
But now we've had six straight.
Now one is broken serve, at least not since the pistol and the force by back with the conversion.
If I don't like it, it was done and then they lose to an eco. So this is where we find ourselves at the eight eight, sorry,
four to four, that's eight rounds. It's got a line.
I love the time I'm music.
Makes me think about like the dwarves, you know? Okay, in a mine somewhere.
Yeah, yeah, see it.
The mines are more real.
Well, so I was taking these extra 30 seconds before their finances are part of now.
That's saved all, then the drop day, okay.
So heavy guys got one.
Mounds is gifted the other P250.
For a lot of Madison Hunter onto the tech nine and just a smattering of you two as
it smokes being juggled right now.
Might have to be directed to tough to play around like this late.
I'll have the same and ready to power up the rack, how does the flash?
Ooh, head on collision.
He takes some flames, he's playing around this knee peak.
I've been doing it a time off the time.
It's just time, the orb is ready.
You've got a lot of answers, go, sort of, order one.
To ward the rampside, block you to the throat.
And now you can play out the mid-router, and the patch you get that oving so early.
And nothing really lost.
So, show.
If you wanted to explode onto A, you've been stalled out for now, but there's still plenty
how many of moves are available.
This is vitality you have to be active.
Apex was there to assist flames.
Now he's pressed up in middle.
Just guaranteeing some control,
but does he play to contain her?
Do they push for information?
Because right now, if it's an X,
you don't either sign.
The CTs are not in the best position to defend.
The Ark of the Catta left them in, right?
Zai was positioning, not looking like he's
going to be taking too active of a line on A.
The Epex is called mid-clear, but it looks like Zoe is going to have a look.
Flashed in the open to this, we can just strike out the hunter, pull them back into
the floor on four.
Eyes on the Epex flank, it'll be late, but it's coming.
He's on its way.
Sometimes, really, we ready for that, so I will just get the flash of flash, heavy got
gone.
The fourth one, the next found by Zoe, we're in now, now the flank can connect, he's
going to get the flash.
number two maps on prepared low HP clean round from vitality the two
Frenchmen with a lot of impact. Okay well surely at this point that's
going to be the financial wars done and lasted as with this diffused coming
through it's finally straight rounds for vitality. I was amazed as I
didn't like move when he got flash you know like he didn't panic and
think he was just going to get bot from palace you just stood there
realize they were likely going to be ramps centric and catches that
Perfect for I'm going to hunt her. Keeping up the form from Crackup and on the
AWS page, this is nice to see is and I've caused an impact throughout this.
It's a real nuisance. You have to number a fanage, you piece together around, but you
just get a picked up heart one by one.
It's great shooting.
Look at the eco down, which is too. So I'll put you in the detain.
This is two round lead. Last time we saw an E-code, now I'm just dead already.
Well, that could be maximum damage. I think heavy-gone just headbutts like we're in a heap.
Walking to the flames, you know you want to. This time too, no.
Even that's another world-class grenade as well, narrowly misses out on the heavy-gone.
This top just so lay in the piece that now...
You can go and start. Well, whatever game plan you had coming into this match in terms of what you wanted to pressure and the way you wanted to run you around.
They went out the window. Due to the just the patterns, this was my name.
Vitality of pulled off some nonsense already.
See how clean they can keep this.
Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's get something.
Oh no, he's 93, and I bet he'll wrap the final flag.
There's a 6-4-2 round gap.
It's 2 rounds left.
We're head to the halftime break.
Yeah, that's quite an antique kind of.
You know, earning their reward, from winning out what was a eight round battle.
That's what you two couldn't do.
Yeah, because they got the dance vehicle.
It was just the USP's, and they were unable to scoop that upset.
This moment, the feeling at pretty hard done by,
and they know that if they're just one that, it would have been whole,
Easier sailing, at least in terms of the calling connecting together peace and each rounds together
When you're limited on YouTube, weaponry, the way that you tease these rounds is tough to hold a harder, a lot more communication or a wide-lomeride years
This has got an idea that they've been a little bit early, the friends at his HE matches audible
I'm just coming back to assist this, at the H-C, so it's too close. No, to do at least two nades on the site.
It's a three-man-slower now further, cheeky boost.
It's not a room, a stepping stool for Apex deeper line into the underpass. No one's on their way.
Hunters considering it just jiddling for any aggressions. How long does this boost stay?
Hunters surely not ready for that.
There's surely not.
Okay, well how to get to where with his life?
You think he's the man?
You're fooling up a second up there?
No, he's just the one.
That's important.
One time he's got spotted on how he got to back.
Same to the acceleration.
Hit the brakes.
Rocks is ready.
Head on a swimhold.
They're dusting when you put the dogs and thing cool dog.
I feel that you have to go into the beast right now.
What have we got?
35 seconds left on the clock.
If they want to go back to A, it's going to have to be noisy to respond.
Yeah, so this would just be a late play into B, and he picks up jumpspots on a bait
for robs in this situation.
They spot him, he spots them, and robs farms them up, and no robs gets that first contact.
That's all he can have, he got to play with an E-pets kit, sitting part of tracking of
the jumping, scram-deared job, but done seven rounds now on the board for vitality.
Comfortable difference to be. Yeah, that one came a little bit too easy to net up
I'm all around left and again because of the nature of these rounds the lost bonus hasn't built out for
G2 they're operating again with a bit of a hotspot by we've got a couple of tech nines a little in the mix that be limited
YouTube once more then p7 for hunter
So you can just see how limited it is
Oh, we got action for e-hakes, multiple bodies at the top of me, a good flash and
flash, but attacking eats a flash though.
They're not ready for a second, you're not expecting another man, you just want to
smoke part of the top for the back of their head, but Nattis keeps us level.
Important for Mattis.
So who's walked sounds off in the window?
It takes a shot, I expect the lurk to start to activate.
There we go.
There's another side of the map right now, as you check the way, some 3D drape, grouping
out for what looks like a B finish, it's messy, it's playing quite passive, grouping
up with this cluster of players, and over towards mid, although they might want to clear
this together, so at least there's some trade potential, but in the wrong place, B bombsite
is free, some place even has nades to lob in, so as they contact, this becomes more difficult
of vitality on the retake.
They walk in, nobody spots them, they plant the bomb, and then the smoke and Molly come
I'm going to play it by even more time.
Check's up now, rotation on the way.
Plenty enter it on the pass, late piece.
After giving time, if they're too quiet,
then I'm put up enough resistance to be expected.
Oh, just, time perfectly.
Plenty's going to be able to get close up.
Too from the short side, Plenty's going to come
to the crossers, a perfect angle from Mattis.
We're doing this one without fear.
This shot not gonna work out for them.
Some pious removing the woop.
The job is done.
Time 2, far, far.
As he gives it a best, he can.
But there we have a seven to five first, huh?
Yeah, and I wondered how to have a little twist in turns.
Just to really can't obviously piss around going in the favor of by Tardier was Apex,
playing in A, they're baited before he gets two nice kills in the way in.
And then from that moment forward, you see this force by.
It was a B fake, now it's finds the timing on mid or Hunter finds a killer in a apex, draws
the attention of flamesy, but now it gets four kills and sets them up for what should
be around in three.
They went against the initial force by with the scounder, the D goes and then they
go up against some USPs and this is where things really started to go wrong, but I think
if you're G2, you salvage five rounds the half, you know you want a lighter by or a couple
of your own.
They're all good with that.
It's not the worst, it was probably a bit more of a tense back and forth than you would
have been hoping for.
But I just really like the way that you framed the fact that because of the financial
ramifications, these trading blows of rounds and lacking the consistency, your game plan.
You're not planning for a half-life.
Now, you haven't got a strap book that features, okay, and then we lose the eco, and then
we have to win with this.
And so the fact that both teams kind of had to throw that plan out of the window and just
kind of freestyle, go with the flow, a competitive half.
I do think G2 can kind of shake that off.
Now, I think some of the concerning moments, and this is obvious to the dominance of
the finances but there was force rate rounds for a vitality there and that's what they really
just started to mop the mop. And they had some explosive individual moments and they locked
them down only giving away one kill in each of those.
Okay, there's two round number two. Number one, G2's choice. I've done a lot next. We're
going to smoke spills in. I think potentially getting up to a bit of fake area,
How about a what's A with it?
This is fucking a useful and lops that out now.
That's gonna open the door for apex and flamethrower through.
This is where you hold your connector player, which is not as looks away.
But instead, he's actually gonna talk to him.
Feels like he knows exactly what's coming.
Guess I'm free from him.
Perfect trade from Flamethrower.
What's up, it's Chess.
I would run a work on short, heavy boat ruts.
It's rocks, catchers.
Nice one from heavy guard.
around when around. I think that's a different round. He collapses. They take B.
He was caught on the back foot. Robbs tying them perfectly, but have he got
there and get bales him out? Now what? You're kind of in middle. A man down.
You know he's goose, that you want to try and press the side. Apparently not.
Interconnect are looking to take some fights. Yeah, no, it's not for success. We know he's got that
precision on the pistol. Thompson's push is a leavey at a lot of pressure for ticket as well.
But I'm having to worry about winter. I'm so I was making no secret of his presence.
It's got to go on the market and they have found the gap into a can they plant safe side?
That's the question
Clare not CT
You have to be on the other side, I mean you're going to have a few, yeah
It's not like it's not on the site somewhere
There's E Punching in that code, I'm just as time to stalk his prey
Now just hit the top and the good flank
I mean, it doesn't hit that first bullet, it had to be the first.
There still goes G2's way convincing.
Yeah, for me, it's all about that, have you got killed, right?
And I think that's going to be a fun game to watch throughout these two teams locking horns,
is heavy-goed versus rops on some of these lurks.
They're going to have you got a very strong player in that position.
Well, rops is rops, right?
I think people have made sure to pay attention to what this guy's output is.
The mod is touch, every team he joins, would do what pickups and very strong results.
And vitality, well they're at the top of that conversation, so especially in that head to head between heavy gotten robbs
like hearing those steps is exactly what Robbs is waiting for, right?
He gets him where he wants him, how he wants him, and still heavy got wins the duel.
It's a great trade for a claimsy, but yeah, it's a lurk.
Hey, he's looking out, I've used to be, you should be dead, I'm full that it's all over.
But the bombs would go down, right?
The space they gave them, they'd keep that gap, they'd plant the bomb, and vitality can
We can't in with a threatening force bike, so they have to do what you did in the first half.
The leaves, however, are rounds you practice.
How do we get it done?
With a bomb plant and a lost pierce does this quick.
It's 3 to 1 to be. They've got a lot of space early.
We imagine you could get caught out.
Project trajectory rather than that slope and a tells some short is occupado.
Without a lot of help.
It's a pious bus.
Yeah, it's not a plane.
We've really got another...
Though we however, brings him down with his tech nine and our pump does get plastered.
Okay, we take time. We've got a flying from spawn Hunters jogging over there now.
That is a kid.
Ooh, he pecks his root bit a bit too loud about this one.
Just walks to his demise a lot of sprint.
So I always take Chatted. Ooh, and Hunter tracks.
Not easy for Mezzie.
Quiet start from him as well as far as Frankings can stand a clutch would be huge.
And that time, I see how I did it. It's gonna be a problem.
I'm gonna beat three though.
Just need some good fun of the fire smoke on the bottom.
It's that first, just gets off Mattis and you want the round to be the first time you've got smoke spam.
Got right here!
No bullets!
And no hope for Mesey!
A valid opportunity!
Look at the time!
No count close this once!
We're able to find him in the smoke.
Okay, so stressful round to survive.
Bomb goes down again.
I think you have to relent right now if you're vitality and just okay I say that and I immediately
see Zai we're buying with an AK.
He's not happy.
Hey, if I'm straighting with a good little.
So I thought they were just going to take the partial but they keep they can still
The money right now, I'm curious too, Max, I've lost to take a time out of this.
We'll have it sketchy, different, rather, but good damage to the smoke, they're from
heavy garden.
Their apex thinking, too many steps ahead, Hansel was already coming off of the car.
Is he running for the longer while?
Yeah, the difference is you there.
Yeah.
They're trying to open two players, Tetris, and Matt, though, right there, especially with
the low HP that those two players were on.
Who looked at Hansel?
He is already just charging.
I'm very expecting, E.P.
That's on the case.
And we're protecting a push, Max, and it does react in time, though, so first but kind of
to live it.
It's supposed my smoke-bring play, Matt is profits, but is he ready for two more of them?
It's committed for this fight.
Oh, come on, fight!
What's supposed to be there, Zy, who removes it and I'll surprise?
This is crazy.
Flames you just about, get to the way.
Everyone's horned for Jules right now.
I'm going to stick it around, getting in fights, getting very aggressive.
Maybe hanging around or swinging when they should, and but right now we find
ourselves in the 3v2 for Vitality's favor.
Right.
Well, they know Rob's, I'm the extremities, right now he's with the pack.
So as they grew up in Manoeuvre, the Utah would finish this,
so I'm probably flash with a sprinkling from Mezzy and Flamesy on top.
Searching IG2, getting information, all right, we've got window, we're clearing out middle.
As they sent the pieces together, they stayed connected or did they split and worry about the
sites for mouths.
Let's move off, could do some real damage and
if I'm taking that smoke and bomb through palace.
Now I was coming up for the multi-12 bullets in the gun.
Yeah, that's my concern as well.
It's gonna have to be very efficient with his spray.
Or burst, like their burst.
Peaks, I'm spotted!
Oh, so efficient!
12 bullets, two targets, job done!
And a bomb's loose!
Yeah, it's hard to retrieve a place to get out.
It's hard to retrieve a place to get out.
You're safe, dude.
Yes, but, is it going for the pond?
You're okay.
Prioritizing the pond, faculty to flamesy.
They're not going to crouch.
Walk up to window, running for that trade potential.
They should be no way in this world.
Flamesy gets anything here.
Just a quick one.
But now I've to close it down.
It's impactful.
Down.
Three kills from Malb's solid work.
I guess.
A force by again.
And the bomb goes down.
Don't say it.
They could.
They said they couldn't do that pretty similar to what they just had and
Maybe they are so it was just a group to an aka again immediately
I'm still I'm questioning when's X? I was gonna say the time I need to call this off
Or at least if the next 30 seconds after the conversation
I'm afraid of flowing like it's both
Like if you're G2 one of the conversations has to be before going into a match
This is we can't be scared of these players right where we need to take it to them because we know the type of aim that these players put on just like
I don't think that's ever really a conversation about G2 as the army just don't have the players, you know, they've got the the muscle
Fick you up with my mentality and they've had Hunter alongside a soul for six months now
So where's the fruits that labor?
Obviously some pressure plays faces at the top
But Madison had the guy but both have shown great potential
Yeah, Madison have a good definitely shining brighter than the arrest, but the mob is having a great game. Yeah, and that's exactly what the Desquid is discussing is to you know what I'm easy expected of him
I do think it's kind of unfair to say, you know, B&E go. I don't think that's a really unfair thing to hand to anyone.
Too anybody, yes. We've seen I go wrong in the past, but uh...
I get in good output from him now, so very impactful rounds throughout this one and the fact that comes back in again
Can they really hold on?
Vitality noted the finance fidgeted and not there. They know they witnessed the lost burners, they're able to get on top of them.
But there's someone close down, but it's mouth. So all of this you tell.
Be quite comfortable to say, nothing's coming.
And bees open right now.
Playing from short, so will they be able to deliver kills through the windows as they start to team out?
Every guard is a good anchor for this.
Flashpacks, but that's not avoid the headshot from Mersey's A.K.
Break through into the sight, vitality of seized control.
I'm going to get past you know, it's Apex, I think that little.
This shot from the burst should do enough to enable a plant.
Top of the fire plate and bay of all flames he had to hit the bat.
Now I'll notice from that short side.
To investigate, but is the conversation a save?
Yeah, we'll right now, some pipes have got 3.4K.
If they save, he can drop a gun and everyone's good.
Okay, they shouldn't have too many issues going into the next.
Even though it is 1,400 loss.
Well, the stubborn nature of vitality's buys seems to have paid off.
Yeah, but they got only needed to connect multiple rounds in a row.
If they want to break the finances and then start to skid up a bit of a lead.
The tug of war continues in the second half of the play.
Wasn't fun enough from that multi-wheeled hunter, but he brought down to just 14.0.
So supply, so hook up heavy-god with a rifle or hunter, right at the pens on, who they
feel needs the bigger gun.
But there we go, do indeed.
B.A. and Cadjudi's maybe he's the one down with an SMG.
Or Hunter, the endgame lead up, takes a sacrifice.
It's one of the two.
It looks like it will be heavy-god just down to an MP9.
You've seen what he can do with that MP9, winning impossible for you, too.
Yeah.
Well, that time out.
Another one called from G2.
One left is, by the way, haven't called any.
Yeah, I guess Ex-Tas is just kind of content with what he's seeing.
They're kind of happy to fight in the mud that G2 have pulled them into.
What's I supposed to keep calling them for him is getting the opportunity to be on the microaddle.
That's true.
Well kid, I'm about, I'm going to bring you one into the rounds.
Just that MP-9 on heavy got us the biggest initiative, everyone else has what they're hoping for.
So where we go?
And my town to get on top of them does this continue.
It's looking like a direct call, the vomiting straight towards Alice, it's a fainted control, hoping the G2-1-5 and Biff-Mirginn can find the timing, but pushing forward now.
Will we noted by Nesey?
They know they've investigated earlier.
To heavy-lead towards A with the G2 setup.
Yeah, you got Mattis as well, getting deeper into the site, two players towards the connector-sized island hunter.
and some piers.
It's a lot of faith in that one MP9 on the heavy god,
but it does seem to be the right call.
These are the joke I said I've started talking about
from Vitality, everybody does them.
Vitality just put away with them a lot,
so I'm out of the unknown piece.
Let's have it stole this out.
Second wave of YouTube, and then on the clock.
Some parts are going to just translate in front of it
for one.
Now I'm just bringing the fight to pass.
Ooh, oh, cross over the top, back.
Come on, this is the great work.
Bomb is lost.
Oh, good for Vitality to find a way back into this now.
Hunter is fully focused locked on his screen and over an angle over the top
That's cheeky from flames in he dips drops out before Hunter can find that trade slips into the connector safe
Hunter and pursue calm find it
If you've got not the weapon you want for that kind of fight not that kind of engagement
So I would get to cross slipping into the side still Matt is has the bomb
And you've only got 20 seconds as a lot of responsibility for Mesey
that's it, right?
It's a very on top 20 seconds, this is a high pressure situation.
You've got to try and get that bomb.
Five seconds or less.
Now Hunter removes flames.
He can't even hard us.
They'll psi who's there.
Got the bomb, neither play.
Go on to the plop or see.
He's taking the power.
He's taking the power, he's taking the power.
He hasn't got a push, but now he's got a buck.
Go on!
And psi will you and bike!
That'll teach steal it away!
Oh, the double from natus.
I thought it was enough.
You see the thought process there.
Malbs, the eight defender goes first.
first, there he goes down, Mattis gets the double, the bomb is in a tough position, they're
worried more about the rotation, vitality, a hold in the bay, trying to get the kills,
the two go on over the smoke, that's huge, this one. So this is an incision, now it
calls this chaos, whether or not we have the bomb, but we don't know, the character is at the
site, and then some great cover, five out of the desire work. Yeah, that was exciting, and the
covering, five from Zaiwu, I mean, you have to choose a player to cover you, you know,
in those compromises places.
That's where you want to play an example.
And so it's such a tough situation.
Because you know there's a player in palace,
and then the likelihood of CT is also an option.
And you just have to worry about absolutely everything right there.
Also, embodies what you hear them talk about.
There's even selfless nature and interviews.
You just see like, well, you're okay, the foster.
We're okay.
Yeah, good outside.
I'll make it work.
Right now it is the ecradogy, too.
It should be 400 loss into the next.
We'll be able to get out of the buy.
And I'm excited how you can make it.
Can they salvage an acre?
Can they limit vitality as well because the financial battle is not over.
You more or less this is the rotation. We'll be able to get over there in time,
but in traction the site is flamesy with this SMG to the alley-up and with a flash in the spawn.
I suspect flamesy is going to have a lot of fun here.
Then off the leash to farm up a couple of extra frags.
You want a deep flash if you're going to fight this.
I don't think it's a test dosen. Confirms as a lot of bodies there.
That's the smoke. It's perfectly cut by mouth catches in pulling out the grenade.
forces them off of the bomb.
Get to me, get to me, get to me.
D-Ropsis bailed them out.
I'll sit 3k on the spray.
Still a 2-on-2.
Really high pressure scenario.
Oh, it's the push for a messy.
It's not comfortable.
You enough to help for them.
Now that they're for out what's going on.
Go on to boys, it's Rob's with the ace.
What?
I even have the vitality like that.
That was supposed to be a disaster.
Rob's is bailed them out.
I see two timings right there.
One, this is the car sold as the sandcuffs that can quickly be swept away.
They're in trench in the sign that have all the information that feeling very safe on
getting planted.
Smoke goes down, very straight, plain to die.
At that moment, Apex is probably worried about something else because you think the
plane has formed completely covered.
They swing.
Now Apex is caught between CT as well as connector.
He's in the top position.
When the lurk doesn't pay off, Rob's really needs to dig them out of that.
The triple, yeah, that one was on a silver platter, but the two to finish it, that was
I don't know, Malbswap into his grenade, that they both immediately pulled out of the grenade at the same time and gave him up so window.
Great opening kill provided though.
Some pires catches one in middle.
That's his sights on the ramp side, and there are bodies there.
It's not just searching.
Oh, oh, it's last on the moth.
You know, if that one hit me, I'll get some action.
C-Zero takes on to first and has the time to adjust for number two.
But this is where the financial game I'm talking about and not being over that coming down to one B2 for
Robsam to win.
I don't have a lot of money going into the next.
Then to keep that type of round relatively clean.
You hold onto your B2 to three rifles alive.
Right now you're probably just having a Robsam apex saving for the next minute on the clock.
And that comes down to Mavs again being proactive.
18 kills for him.
You could see Robsam being a good game as well.
Five of those 20 kills did just come against an eco.
but they were very necessary.
They weren't eco-bashers in the way that you'd expect,
but it becomes a one-round game again.
To be hunts, I had to another question.
I think G2 needed to start establishing their finances
down the stretch as well.
Yeah, you're doing the half-ta-end in the same way
the first half of play did,
where you're kind of just scrounging for pennies on the tail end.
So, to stay alive, rocks can drop an AK and pick
and drop a little.
Flames you currently has the most at 850,
can at the 1400 on top and maybe gets himself a tech night.
Still have 10 seconds to wait
and they will investigate to what is the round but palace.
So they're both for this one as round will conclude
and again just a one round gap
because this one is delivering it all right now.
Chowner to us, that's what it is.
We're gonna inferno up next and the nuvis is the third
and interesting vitality they removed us too.
So we're either respecting G2s or wanting to practice
a new bus knowing that would have been the overpass removal from G2 in the second phase?
I feel like that's a luxury afforded only to the top dog, isn't it?
I was looking to be playing officials like that.
I feel like a show that we can play.
It's still so surprising. Maybe the time-up button's not working for XTA's.
That would have been another really good moment to just take it just to calm it down.
But if your happy with what it makes us calling, if the ideas are flowing,
if no one's getting frustrated, hey.
It's the world-class scene, it's the world number one.
There you come, that's with the canyon.
That's what like Hunter wants to, though.
I mean, he's already caught in top mid-clear, so valuable in town.
Can be created what's be pretty quick, because some pious, well, what's going to say is on the closer a day.
There's a bit in the screen, that is gets spotted, you hope heavy-goed gets overlooked.
Hunter's kept pushing.
Robbs will get down.
Yeah, that should be.
He's alive.
Oh my god, okay, everything's fine.
We have to go be now.
We've got to get overurgs.
He's got surely at our multiple on his screen.
He pulls his attacks up, backstop, does.
Let's map this game down to justify with a multi-housing.
I'm chipset in, aka upgrades galore and a G2 round to tie us up.
Yeah, I bet I'll tell you, I need you.
So G2, I want to say, should take the lead, but we've been here before.
Oh, Matt is another day at Diagonal Monitor Citter.
This test says he does that too.
Yeah, they all went from Bondick.
So, that's true. He's the old chicken today.
My theory is it's like you didn't have a square desk, you never wrecked time. We had like those weird, like corner desks. So you end up sitting at an angle.
That's my own.
Yeah, he tried to drive you a little bit more, really.
See, I was in a set of places that I'm playing at.
Some of the monitor's so far away it's tugging on the cables, right?
There's two light doors.
Yeah, this is over. You could have done good.
You saw in the first half how back and forth it was, what in the second half?
Vitality really kept their foot on the gas to try and went out the financial walls and they did.
They're own on doing it being a little bit sloppy catching some bad timings.
Now it's three straight back.
Picks turns hard job.
First of all, the first time out from Vitality.
And they can't be able to be peeing the mix.
So I can see if G2 are aware of just that financial misery.
And this is a map that has caused vitality a couple of pressure points in recent time.
Lost to Falcons with the standard that Yanko highlighted, and then in the final took fury up just in crack-off.
A couple of days ago, almost a week at this point.
A timeout and subsided.
The longer in the financial struggles RG2, and they have a handful of routes to be played,
but don't worry about them going down to the league.
It's the top count and window in play as the opener.
You're really going to spill out top litter with a rally of flashes, and some of the top
It's a car on the side end.
Yeah, I don't think so.
Sometimes on that first window, smoked road.
That's a good angle for me progression.
I don't know, he has to find out he is going to be playing on the air to this smoke area.
Oh, he pecks.
He just started a flash.
Really in team play from Vitality, but Hunter still doesn't.
It's a big greeting. He goes looking for trouble. He finds the whole team.
Okay, four on four then.
You talk about the new ones at Counter Strike, I mean what is that half a second on apex
is parting just a little early and a nice position from Hunter as well.
Here's another one of those joke-a-plats.
Heavy guard, the Bianca, freed up by some pines, his up on the other side of the map, and
he got two rifles on A and they're coming for a split and you also have Mattis dealing
with window.
So, multi-kill potential right now is huge.
You get caught off guard by one of these positions, G2 get 12.
He is the man around us all.
What the fuck?
Plains of a mouth set up to succeed.
I put up for the South of Kusinsia.
I put up so loud.
In back of the lame,
I will do the same now a clutch.
Now, fuck, it's time to entertain it.
Pools it across the line for vitality and a crucial juncture.
Yeah, they work on, I've got, right?
It mouths.
He's actually the eight-offender.
Heavy got taste contact first.
He goes down to flames.
He mouths just unleashes the fury from sandwich.
Oh, that's right.
That's three.
That makes the difference.
That's a bit of a, you know, heart-sinking moment.
You've done so much work.
You just couldn't get that last side.
We're with the most impactful round we've seen from him yet on Mirage.
That is the third moment of four rounds, one of the second
after they're just being one player staying alive for Vitalik.
So, none of the woods just yet.
They will have emissions in there by Apex and Mezzy
into the Mac Tens.
Does the other side they can fall?
It's going to change the call that you have to make.
You cannot run a standard gun round, but it doesn't mean
you have to go straight into an execute.
Wow, what a crazy turn of a business trip.
Lovely from now on, spins around, catches that stairs over the walls.
Braille on the swing of flames, you would sign with super size.
It finds the hedge on the mattress.
It just drapes on out.
Meals on to mubs.
Yeah, didn't want to play that one hour.
I wanted to just take that fight in the town.
Let's look up there, going straight to the edge.
Wait, you're right now.
Ready?
Plot.
Does this change the time that they've reached through this?
Good night.
Looks like things are going to go.
It's now followed through with him right now. They're all lining up the due to mid-information being
vied for by St. Pius. He's kind of got the all clearing out underpass. These blocks are a should be on high alert.
What's the timing here? They come out.
Imagine how.
Pops in a powerful position should have an opportunity to offer our lands from Apex.
They got him following him.
Yeah, it's a part that's brought to the place, double entry into the site.
Even a Mac tank should have been away through the smoke that for eight days.
What a perfectly time-flange for the pond in a flange.
I mean, we've said this a couple of times about like
sounds with a flash word.
Incredible.
Well, this is the thing, right?
This might not be a team akin to a star
as in terms of creating the blueprint of modern
counter strike.
But what if I tell you to do is refine those
details, and they add the variety of all of it,
right?
It's not just, okay, the world plays utility.
It's not just defaults, right?
They have really well-time moves, very understanding
and it's the nuance of all of it that puts
my talented at a typical counter strike at the moment.
And that right there is a perfect display that
I'm just coming in and out and catching that key position.
You also have to have faith in the U.S. being thrown as an entry-fraguer.
It's like, you know, when T.C. is the U.S. and you see the entry-fraguer going and died.
Oh, well, that seems silly.
But when it works perfectly, this is the other side.
You're being set up for that.
And when you have an explosive play out, light flames in the team who can deliver you a multi-kill.
Getting you the 12th round that just won't left to snatch this away before we need overtime.
Now there's no more back tens.
Now as I will get to the AWP.
Okay then, it's actually running something very similar again.
To reach through power this time, so it's slight variation in terms of personnel.
There's only going to be this two-man setup.
Malves is going to have a...is worker out for him.
Has a smoke?
could block the palace play. But they've got a double-hater sign for that fight
beneath. Oh, and flamesy through the flames he thrives. Hang on, Hunters
tucked on sandwiches powerful position if they do flood outside was clear.
And sadly, Pleasant! Cheeky! Double from Zy were rotating in his every
gun. He got a peek into it all. And yeah, that is a damn sentence for Zy
with wielding it. That is beautiful, vitality, a convincing bonus for the
Rock, knock it's only the one and that is game.
Mirage goes the way of vitality.
Every round of regulation required,
but one hell of a show.
Yeah, the short loss streak, two losses in a row,
and now they snap that.
So let's have the desk has to say,
over to you, Richard, the boys.
Yeah, Richard.
Look, it wasn't vitality at their best,
but you could see the moments there
and it's gotta be said what was probably most disappointing
for G2.
number of four buys that they lost and low buys that they lost and definitely
opportunities for them. Yeah I feel like that's the biggest takeaway for me for
you two that they have plenty of opportunity in this game in order to snatch a win and
make this best of three series competitive. First off, as you said, very messy back and forth
for both teams, you know, both teams were winning four buys, both teams were winning rounds
where the win is certainly having the equipment to win and then in the second half,
we'll get back to it, but I'll cover around for you two way in winning position where you feel
Okay, you should be winning this game. You should be taking away my ration. You're maybe even
exploiting the fact that I tell you, you have lost a tri-specia already, where they didn't look
great. So if you're due to right now, you've got to feel a little bit of a set about that because yes,
you got close but at another thing, you got nothing to show. A coach is nightmare, yeah.
Yeah, I think it was a very scrappy game. Yeah, really not too much,
CNS about this one, just brute force and that's the thing about vitality. They can be
in so many different ways.
We tend to say, I don't want to make the game super messy
when we're playing a weaker team.
I don't even consider G2 a much weaker team,
but let's say you play a tier 3 team, right?
Because now you're in there, sort of, playground doesn't matter
for vitality, right?
So they can beat you playing that style as well.
And in the end, it was a game of just some details
and it felt like the individuals from vitality
in some of those post-planned slash clutch moments
were just better.
Yeah, and a couple of things will notice on the scoreboard
we're talking about.
We'll start with zeroes performance.
I call them zeroes for everyone at home.
I'm from everyone.
And I was told to call them that my friend people
and I'm stuck with it all my life.
So to all this I will head, that's fine,
but he's zeroed for me anyway.
So he obviously was the number one player in the world
on the HLTV rankings last year.
I just figured that I thought it should have been tongue,
you know, 26 out of 28 all of the names.
But I will.
Yeah, but I'll say this. He started this year. I could be a believer in being the one playing the world right now in this moment.
I mean, what did a cracker of, you know, is this a pretty great example of what he can do? I could be the best tournament he's ever had.
Off to a good start here in Mirosh. I guess it's the symbol size is small for P.K. L.
It's just been one map, but as you said, like it's just good to see him answering back and I think if you want to tie that into a history,
you know, that's kind of what happened when when simple started to push back on him as well.
like they're pushing each other and right now you don't have
simple to play around with anymore then don't came around
you to go on and now best is sort of like fight he's having so if
that's a motivating factor for cyberwitch to play just slightly better
what I think we've seen then that's a good thing maybe we could ask
courage and the racians these sports historian what he thinks about
this Richard he does feel like device pro max yeah right you know in a
way just with a bit more aggression a bit more flamboyant you know
risks taking and just all around great play. Every facet of the game there's nothing he can't do.
And when you're out on top of that his personality and the sort of a teammate he is,
I think that's what makes him the best player in the world. The key difference for Crackout for me
was that he actually turned up in the finals. He turned up in the hard games. People said
that's where he goes missing. This could be a huge difference. I mean because we've already talked about
about what vitality you're on course to achieve.
But that in mind, we'll talk about the first map in the series
and some key moments, because there were a couple of rounds
that we felt were pivotal.
Yeah, I think round nine is just the first one.
Yeah, we're talking about Zyval, right?
So here, let's look at the start of the round,
great entry kill from some piers, then not the best mid-round
from G2.
You can see that Fatality has full mid-controlling, the four,
we five, they go back to it.
Look where Zyval is.
There are no smokey naps, there's nothing in apps.
And this might be because heavy got a couple around
the tire was punished by Rob's playing on top of Balcone
and it was, so he's taking his time.
But really, the after there has to be
a position to trade that kill.
I mean, it's backwards on the middle of the map.
And he just killed your first guy coming out ramp.
And equalizes the score line, you saw the rest of the kills
that hit control, they'll all apex to be on a quick flank.
And this was really around that, you know,
when you lose 13 in 11, every round that you have lost,
was a must-wing round in a sense.
but this one with the 5-4 advantage I felt like on the macro level wasn't really the best played from the side of G2 and Vitality made him pay the rent on a bit of a run after this, I mean like two more.
You had a couple more on your run.
Yeah, I think we owe to the viewer to show where we're in wrong for G2 in this second half.
I think around 17, around 18, two rounds again that is a must-win scenario.
We get into this one, you think about, you know, the rest of the play style, Ladiya, a lot more matters is doing, you know, getting a multi-kill and you feel like probability there's no way they should be winning this game.
like for my tell of you, there's no way they should be winning this one, but then we'll
speak about the side, we'll be talking about Messi as well, getting a multi-kilowattier, keeping
them alive, fast forward, the next round as well, another force by coming in for G2, they're making
very messy and they leave ropes in a 1B2 scenario, again, with low HP, stuck in a apartment,
stuck in the worst position, and I don't know why they're so eager to throw smoke, throw grenades,
fight 1 by 1. If you're G2, you go back and you watch that demo, you watch those two rounds,
that's where you lost grasp of the game. By the way, that's absolutely whether lost,
the game full stop not even a grasp on it. And we didn't even talk about the USP. He could
did their last day. Yeah, I think if they won the Force by right after it, but it's just
looking back on this map, you know, in their practice room later tonight, G2, they're going to
be like, this game was more difficult to lose than it was to win and we managed to lose it.
Well, I'm not point where did it go so horribly wrong. Other than the rounds that we've highlighted,
because I feel we highlight at Mowlbs and we said, he's got a step up. He did. This is the
The problem I have with G2 in general, it's like when everything goes right for them, they still don't win.
I think you're right in saying meltdown.
I think that's the point I want to make it.
We're playing Vitality, essentially, you know, I know G2 pick Mirage, I know Vitality
have looked kind of sloppy on the map as well, but to be completely honest, if you put
the two teams up against each other, I think, you know, in terms of score wise, in terms of
being the game competitive, it's not even necessarily a bad performance from G2.
to you know you're supposed to lose to vitality. So at least you do it in fashion where
we can make the case and build the case you probably should have won the contest degrees.
I'm sure you know I'm sure G2 would disagree. You know you're expecting to lose, right?
Especially when you have a couple of extra days knowing the matchup that's when you feel like
you can really zone in on your opponent you know a talented obviously played all the way up until
the grand final probably took a couple of days off coming into this tournament so it's definitely
thinking you have chances and that's the problem. You don't know if it's miscommunication
in some of those clutch moments, maybe one player is communicating, the other isn't receiving
the info, isn't listening to his teammate. That happens sometimes, or players just have
tunnel vision on their crosshair. And whatever the reason may be, it's just something where
you have to do better. You only get so many opportunities against a team of
of vitality's caliber and you need to maximize.
Yeah, a series isn't over.
I mean, we are talking a little bit of humoral for G2.
It is.
They have got one more marketplace.
It's unfortunately.
It's vitality's picnits in Furno, where they just
think it dominates.
I think G2, as you said, like they can make the game competitive
still.
It's not like they didn't put up a match here, which is vitality.
But in Furno has been a stronghold for vitality this season as
world.
They started to pick it more and more.
They started to stabilize on the members well.
And I feel like G2 missed the one opportunity they had
of sort of like purchasing a ticket to get into this matchup that was by winning their own
backpack of mirage. So when two maps in a row, let alone, it's looking hard, especially
with the wave and what I tell you have been playing on the game. And it is the map that really
forced my talent or the matchup that forced my talent to really hone in those B-molotos for the
executes because I think it's definitely if you ask Apex, he'll save you on the loss that
final because we missed the Molotov triple to rounds in a row. But regardless, I was a bit surprised
by G2s in Fernow because it was very strong at the start,
that they shy the way from it.
They stopped picking it, they haven't played it as much
in the reason why I felt they were very strong
as the mid rounds that we talked about.
You know, on their T-sided, they did a very good job
of moving their opponents around the map,
creating good situations for their players,
you know, when there was those four,
four, three, V3s, and whatnot.
So that was surprising.
And I think probably for G2, if they're going to get into that
contender status like inferno has to be one of the strong points for them. Can we just take
a little bit of time to talk about some pious? Do you want to do that? Because I a little
time is enough if you think we go we go. We go. Time we go. I don't know about him. I haven't
since the start of this line that being assembled and I know he's got a lot of fans and he's had
a lot of people kind of sticking up from. I feel that's all turned around now. I think people
people are doing a 180 on him.
And it's just like, out on my plank in Fernoy as well.
It's like, he's open to hit shots.
I think he's a genius.
I think a lot of there.
I think I already admit you're okay.
Opposite right now are geniuses.
They found the perfect timing in Counter Strike right now
to not play well.
Because there's no one to replace them.
There's literally no one to replace them.
There's not that.
True.
It's one.
That's the thing you look at him, you look at all to
make you look at Boki and face like this.
A lot of all players you'd like to replace right now,
which I thought we'd who.
Yeah.
I don't say that I generally like some pious,
like his style as a player.
And also if you look at him from a G2 stand
where he's the extended arm of saw,
I mean, he was very monkeroic, he was very monends.
He's a veteran presence when you have a lot of players who are still new to tier 1
Counter-Strike, play of Counter-Strike,
in a Counter-Strike, the likes of heavy-goat Malbs,
Mattosh, not a ton of experience between them.
You know, most of Malbs comes from that one season,
would you, too, when Equal Monacy were still on the line up?
And I'm so to have that, I think was important for G2
for this early days of this particular roster, right?
And he's had a good tournament in Cracop until the
quarterfinal game, similar to Hunter
and that last group stage game.
So I think this will be the season that sort of determines
his faith on the roster, right?
Because at the end of the day, it is about output leadership
and all of that stuff is important, but you need to be
getting, I guess, a little bit more than bang on average from
our operator if you're going to be a contender.
The great big performance against Vitality, Mike,
by and sometimes. He was very good against them back in the day.
Remember, like, you know, I'm saying I was putting
violence pockets and, and then we'll all that's like,
pull back to the real game. I mean, at the major, right?
Like, it's, it's, once, some of those moments where you're like,
really damn, this some pious guys, you know, big game play,
long time ago.
Anyway, it was great to know that.
I did my best.
Do.
I said it in the way of information.
All right, well, it was great talking to you guys.
We all got to go to a break now.
Well, me come back.
We're going to get into inferno.
Fight to L. B. versus G.T.
She said she loves you.
But she can't love me.
But I love you.
I won't play window anymore.

Fog back to day one of PGL Clues and Aparka, you were joining us for Vitality taking
on at G2 and Apex is in the building part of the winning roster from move back here in
2015. Oh, you're rolling it all the way right? Yeah, this is the thing right? It's been 11 long years
He's on a bit of an establishment right now. Had something to say similar when it was in crack off because that was the PGL 2017 major
That's right. Then we had a dream hack one back in 2015 at Cluj and I was taking a look at some of the players who competed then
You had a blade on flip side. You had Pimp. He was playing east over here. So we had Nico
Fallen, Carrigan, Apex of the Envious Winning roster.
It's a done RV in that final.
So we are back again, and this is a place with some passionate
Counter-Strike fans.
A bunch of them, I'm sure, of people who are playing the Pugs at home,
but running into them all the time.
I was walking to Park today.
It came up, you know, saying hello out for a jog.
So we're going to see plenty of fans in the building next weekend.
But for right now.
Yeah, the Romanian fans, they definitely showed up last year,
and I'm glad that we're going to be getting to see more of them.
of them, have returned to Closed in Barker.
Apex just said in game, my mouth too small.
Mouth too small.
I'm not sure in relation to what?
Also, you've got a pretty big mouth as like metaphorically.
Yeah, you know, you definitely know how to talk the trash.
But he talks to talk and walks the walks.
That's a big difference.
So did Zai, we're from that form that we saw in Crack of He's
kept it up, right here, the fantastic map right there.
It sure rubs also with a 20-bomb in the mix.
But I think, you know, his most influential moment
was the eco-ase clutch.
Yes, which is crazy.
Because normally, if the eco is kind of just going,
Oh, I see, you kept asking,
the easiest gears in the game.
Really, really impressive, like a three-shore,
but it was that one V2, we pulled off that was, you know,
exceptional.
And a big contribution, in fact,
to the fact that the vitality did pick up pickup map one,
Mirage, going all 24 rounds.
What I'm liking is seeing,
I was on the awful little bit more of a prevalent factor,
because it's seeing him shut down the final
and crack off with back to back 4k rounds and now you're on the A to B first half when
he was able to bring it out quite a force. So, I want to see more and more of that. No
doubt is I was one of the best to ever do it, but if he can find another gear that would be
hugely impressive. No donk from here to go toe to toe. But plenty of other formidable foes and
the one on screen right now of G2. This is one last year who toppled the mid-Avestor 5
grand fun of the first team to do it. So, I'm sure that every time they get into the server,
they remember that from London and they want to make sure that G2 pay it's been back to
back to victories for Vitality since then. One at EPR season 22 and one in Chumdo.
Can it be three straight wins for the world number once?
Yeah, I think Vitality are a kind of team that take a lost person up and you know they do have
a former garage. It's just a few of them, right? It's like, oh, you remember them. They're not
every week. Yeah, valid, valid. And you can actually see the head to head here. So you have 2025 last
open London finals, two, three, four, five map of fair, obviously no training anymore,
so due to a bit fan about that one.
Yeah, Mouse 2, we saw Pickup Win against the Parvolution earlier today, but
in case you're wondering what the context of this game is, it's Swiss 16 team. So we have
five days. Love that format. And every game is the best of three. There's no best of one
nonsense around it. So the first three days we have eight best of three, so four on each stream,
you can go and check out the beach stream, Dinko and Moses covering off the action to close
is that your day of day number one,
then you have one day of six best of three.
So that's three per stream.
And then the final day of the groups will be just one day,
three best of three is for the final three spots
in the arena, which is what we find us
out right now, the players are playing from the con course.
They'll just be shifting right now
about 60 meters into the arena to play during the playoffs.
What I've really enjoyed is that, you know,
from yesterday when we kind of showed up for rehearsals
to today, every day we arrive,
the arena is more put together.
We're watching it be built almost having a time lapse every morning just seeing the progress that's being made
Pjelmoo fenced
Then we've got the Friday which we have the four quarter finals make sense that does actually all sort of fine
Wait, you're telling me this four in a quarter. It's crazy
It is a strange thing. So what there's two in the same
Yeah, yeah, and there's there's only one grand final. Oh
There is a third place to start a game. That's my grand final. Yeah
last year was the phase of Strauss. That's the one and then we had a crazy
tag delay when we were in the box was on well. Getting PGL staff delivering us
beers. That's that's what PGL and the go did a live remittance. They did wait for
the final day though. It wasn't day one, but it was the final day final game
is. It's probably where it should be. Yes. I do have to admire flames. He's
He's not giving up on the fringe management system.
I think you should go headband.
Oh, actually, he might not be allowed headband.
Because it's around the head.
Yeah.
This is his new clip clip.
There's no ruling about clips.
That's true.
And if there was, what's the clip doing?
Well, he could have a microchip in the clip.
Oh, I guess.
Oh, no, the microclap.
Two clips soon.
Honestly, the, yeah, he has got another, another protrusion.
Maybe the double clip straight.
More and more.
He's got a lot of growth out a little longer.
Maybe that's what he's going for.
That flames, he's a definitely a presence on the team.
Like, no, you imagine it's a positive thing.
Like, how have you ever seen Flamesy truly tilted?
I don't think I've ever seen him slamming a desk or...
No, I wonder if he just saves it for when he's alone in his room.
Or if he just doesn't have it in it.
Because it's got to be one of the two.
It's one of the two.
Yeah. But it could be the thing where when it does go about it, it's nuclear.
Mm. Right.
Supposedly, we'll all know somebody like that.
Absolutely.
Let me tune in with Twitch chat.
Let's see where they're going on over there.
We love to hear from the people.
Just a short delay for those of you that are hotly anticipating that too.
I'm kind of hoping we get three just because I want to see vitalities
a new bear, so I'll be intrigued to see what that has in store for us.
Okay, I think vitality are probably, they're not there.
Lost one mapping crack off, so they're probably going to want to keep
a relatively clean shape.
I understand the expectation here is they win their map,
and it's a two zero off to take you to choose Mirage.
But there isn't a new bus, you know, technically there's one of the things that would see
and then someone that hasn't really got to see too much of the new enubis, a lot of teams are kind of, you know, giving it a wide birth.
Yeah, there's only played nine times in all of Crackles.
What have you just pulled in at the top of your head?
I was doing a part, you know.
You were doing a couple of parties.
So doing nine times, okay.
Yeah, certainly nine times, there's the least played map.
I wasn't played in the playoffs at all.
But just like Crackles, as far as, you know, when a new map's introduced, it is going to be the least played map from Crackles.
Yeah, similar scenes happen when train came into the start of last year too.
So it was actually, you know, only played six times in the first tournament.
Like you got it there.
I'm pretty sure it was played only six or seven times in the first tournament.
Okay, well, I've got to take some credit for that one.
Thank you.
Ooh, my performance. I like graphics.
You do?
This is the one everyone's used to when they're playing Premiere.
Yeah.
And then you're like, green, green, that in Furno.
Please, me window, me throw.
And you go to the bathroom and then you come back and it's the map you didn't want to play.
Yeah.
That's why you shouldn't use the Vito time to go to the bathroom guys. Make sure that you've got your drinks, you've got to the bathroom, done everything you need it. When you're playing count, you locked in you locked in for 45 minutes to an hour.
I think there was even like a morning that countersburg gives you like a competitive game to take up to 45 minutes.
You're here for all of this.
Let's have a look here. We've got T-Cups 2018. I assume the T-Cups may be made the account in 2018 because if they were born in 2018, I don't know if they should be on 20 seconds.
You know, I'm making a count.
Am I being against the TOS?
Yeah.
Center turns the service.
Uh, there's just like CAUX.
But, uh, he says that apex tilts for five people.
Oh, I see.
So he's doing the tilting for the whole squad.
Sure.
So he kind of absorbs it for everybody.
Mmm.
And then I think Flames is kind of, you know,
he's cracking jokes for three years.
We have a farmer in here.
A farmer?
Uh, John and Mon guy says I'm squeezing my hog.
So he must be out right now on the farm.
That's amazing.
Yeah.
And also a big fan of, you know, sausages,
Lincoln shit. Oh, I wonder if they're for eating. Oh, yeah, well, what else did they be for? I don't know.
You didn't like milk a pig, dear. Haven't tried.
That's where you're going on here.
Flames is in the best way. Can pick milk of all time and earning millions. Of course, it doesn't
tilt. He's just happy to be a part of it. Well, that's a good outlook. But I don't know if he's just happy.
He is a large part of it.
Did someone try and drink pig milk and just kind of ruled it out?
I don't know.
We'll see what people will have to say in chas.
Anyone drink pig milk?
We'll see.
Someone says, now for the apex.
I'm glad that conversation's happening.
That seems really important.
Van Mirage, please.
I also would like, I'd put a plus one on that.
But we already played Mirage.
Oh, you, you, you, you, you.
I just think, unfortunately, we're not unfortunately,
but Valve are very numb, but they're numbers people.
They're numbers driven.
They do like numbers and believe it or not,
the majority of the player base play one map.
This is a fun line for everyone to play to home.
I normally do this while the game is live,
but we can do it right now.
So there's the positions that they play
on either side of the map.
It's great.
So you're gonna have the combination of Zywe,
Mezzian, Apex, taking your banana control.
You know, Flamsian, Rob's combat up for your border
and holds control on the T side.
You're gonna have heavy guard as the ANC,
Hunter is the rotating rifle up.
Some pious says the Orpe, you see him start short with the AWP,
but also we'll be assisting marbs and not as over to what to be.
So there you go, this is nice.
I love this.
This is like the closest thing we have to that configuration thing
they do with the round ball sport.
I think they call it soccer.
That's it, that's the one.
Yep.
That is the one.
And look at this, we've got both.
Let me flick over.
We should request this again during the minute break.
I do love it, yeah.
Can we get that up again?
We can remind the VLS.
I mean, yeah, this is actually such a lovely visualization
of kind of how the CT sides do operate.
Heavy got to be working for that apps control.
So once again, like Mirage,
we're gonna have to have that.
It's heavy got head to head.
It can be fun.
Always find that one interesting.
I do never envy the player in Mowbs' position.
You know, the man responsible for taking early
banana on the T-S.
It's tough on both ways, right?
When you just see how good teams have gotten
with combos of YouTube and those are called,
we'll say blindly out of spawn,
but the rhythm of the game and your prep work
plays into that, right?
So are we gonna be blocking deep?
are we fighting for logs?
Are we double-nading broom, are we mulling half-wall,
and then we still on our behind, and we double-nade,
are we thinking they're taking banana control quick?
Do we think they're gonna respect the smokes?
Are do we need tea stairs?
There's so much that goes into that,
and it's one of the key fights of all of it,
throwing out to why we reference banana so much.
But to be able to understand what a team is gonna bring in
when I couldn't imagine the level of configurations
that they would have, oh, they throw this you to a set.
We respond with this you to a set,
but you have multiple options available.
I've actually been really impressed, obviously, we'll talk about it one more and get
that second half, but Vitality's behold between apex and flamesy, and then you've
got Zay, we're rotating in, like it does just seem so very well driven and well-oiled
machine.
Just a bit more of that v-word, right, in terms of the variety that this team offers
up.
And that's something that when we hear teams saying how hard it is to say at the top,
that's what tends to slow first, because you're in a position to everybody's looking at
you, but if you don't continue to evolve, you will just be counted, especially in the modern
game with Scarbox Edge, the everyone's using, they're able just to scroll through
matches and look at all the moves and tendencies. You can take the set-pods
positions, you can go and see exactly how they're throwing grenades, you're able to
just dial into these things immediately as opposed to having to go through a demo
and back in the day with a demo viewer with lag when you would go back with the
ticks and stuff. And now you're getting voids uploaded immediately, you're getting
pugs uploaded, so nothing is sacred at the top end anymore. Everything is on
display at all times. I mean, you had a great conversation, you sent out
with that podcast with a variety of teams, but a rather variety of players, but Apex was
talking to that, wasn't he just saying like, once you've done something once, it's kind of
done. Yes, and you need to make sure that these rounds that they're not to telegraphed
obvious with the Utah sets, the ythrowings, that's what back in the day you'd have a few
defaults, but you needed to have similar opening smokes, similar breaking of windows, little
details like that, they'll dial into, but good news, everybody, we're about to get that to
of this series underway due to our ready and ready to go vitality to and we will be getting
into map number two with the apex of teams, starting on the T side this one.
I feel like you're more than happy to start on the T side of inferno. This is a map that I would say
has a bit of a T bias and that's just back to those banana fights and configurations of nades.
But away we go, the redness, it's a play in the hands of heavy god, it's a smoke
to block as well, I hate to eat a flash for good measure, it's going to be, it has
a Hunter a surprise, jumps, plays for info and spots one, so relays that but how much
really is at the base, it's round off of and it's a slow spread from vitality, I think
for banana, just mowbs here.
He's going to be juggling out.
His Apex can throw that H,
you're just going to go brown these jiggles.
Oh, most that's enough for mowbs.
He knows two minimums and you've even got himself
the Gilbert Retters for that multi-kill.
Holding onto his block's mow groutations on its way.
All quick reaction to it.
Hunter and Matt is going to scamp her over there
as the block's mow clock time.
This game of chess now. I'm excited.
They're interesting.
Yeah, they look like they want to. They're acting like they're going to commit through.
All right, and they will.
Just push them into the smokey side.
We'll get some way for the drill for Rector's now.
Atis, with nothing.
Absolutely nothing from the bigger fence.
The third foul bite side.
We'll just wrap it down.
Well, we split the pistols on that number one.
Time to pick up the first tier.
That shot there from heavy god, but you can't really give this one too much of a look in right now.
Clare and Julees would be tasty, more so going into the next, but hanging around,
even surprised, I give you a go.
You can react as I am apex, you can move down, get your gav long.
You're the last as lazy, round the corner, unleashing hell.
All right, we're going to rotate Pistol.
That's just such an interesting move on that retake because they are going to force by.
So, heavy God, if he holds on to his cabinet,
think he took any damage there until we went down,
get the cheap upgrade into head armor,
so we could go to the furnace route,
and he got my kill into a lot of something for free in the past.
Yeah, so interesting to see them go to this and lose everything,
knowing that you are likely to force behind to the next round of play.
That's the good job for me now, I'm really touched.
Spattering of smokes to block.
So I'm gonna pack half wall appears to be the plan early.
I don't think you can finish the capability.
You don't have the you sort of clear out sandbag or car right now, so you are just gonna have to pop into a three-throot
Half it.
Oh, today, he's got his line up in time.
Looks like he's down there.
There's the second flash.
He's back!
He's down with his lines.
He's the second flash. That was all a bait in the switch.
Looks like one justly breaking through the brackets.
Right, well, it'll be the save from G2.
So if I tell you to, I'll happen.
We'll have to deal with these again into the next round.
I haven't seen anyone use the new window, you know, like... I saw it.
Maybe when at first I introduced and I definitely saw some of these content creators showing line-ups.
I've seen that line-ups, I just haven't seen them utilize at the highest level.
I'm going to hold that eye on sir, you would have loved to have at least carried
three to reach out to more threats but this is the B defenders, I swear to them they're
side out of the B runs out of the village and half of the city of Neese.
No, this is a good old way to just run in that.
The fact you can't even hold onto anything there that's no respect to being given right
now by vitality so this would be easy. And the reason I begs is screaming is louder
the years is because he wants G2 to hear it at the other end of the hall.
So you have to limit your investments now G2.
It's okay P250.
It's moving a pancake.
I think they're going to have to try and collapse middle yet, come on, we're getting
now.
I'm going to show it when I pin this into this on the timing.
I catch flames, we've got all the info.
Yeah, I mean, it's kind of playing the scout role right now, I think that my turn
extra nimble, do not worry about giving it away to a CT if he does over at stand, all
They might be timing this well, flamesy, just evacuated, got caught out, and I had to hit by the USP, goes down to Hunter.
One, two punch, rocks. Nice off, I'm going home to catch the retreat, I'm going to shoot.
I want to get confirmed, there's location, and that's some pies.
I'm going to try and run at this AK, they want to try and move it.
It's a pretty different target, it's a lot of dancing with them.
He just keep backing off, and they could pick up the bomb while they're trying to hunt at Rob, so they can get into the site and plant.
So, jump down from Rob's.
Yeah, he's just going to hold it here.
Ready for that final staircase, little headshot angle, hope it is a bit weird and
weird.
It's got good hands, so we're now out there again, that AK is a normal consolation
prize.
As always, the one that's hanging around, and that's the other AK.
Okay, so...
Let's see, give this over, it does he wipe the board.
Immediately closing the net, his Apex pushing into CT.
So, I'm wanting to find a safe A, then, and I'll down, but on a lake, calling that clear,
be mesy so they hunt again and it's aggressive.
Well now you know that heavy got hit.
Oh I just found I'm stuck.
Looks like it might take it all the way if a pig's could hit just one bullet.
I'm sure it's my paper.
I can no take it.
Taking you like that.
I don't want it.
I don't want it.
I'm sorry.
You can have it back.
Just let me live.
I'm sorry I stole your chariote.
All right well they do.
The job done again.
Now the guns come out for G2.
So what's the starts?
Who's going to be the third man helping set this up as the odds blown out in by Tarnet his favorite hood a thunk it?
Will it be hunt up to set up matters in mouths or will some type of surprise take the AWP over that?
Okay, so I have to start with it. Keep that smoke and then just to start to be so oh not live
Live not live
Sure I'm.
Mixing wheels right out. Yeah, because I just says it restores.
There they are.
It's all sorted.
One of the counter strikes of all time. Yeah people were a member of it.
Maybe not fondly? No. I mean, it's good to be a member, but yeah.
Did I have some moments, some very good countershot place came from source?
Some of my favorite frag movies are from source.
Yeah, they did a lot of editing in source.
Yeah, but I'm so excited about this.
I'm a sucker for an overedit.
You sync it up with some screaming music and I'm in.
If people think running and gunning is bad now, go give that camera try.
You're ready, like killing the bee players.
We're cutting hopped all the way down mid.
10 seconds in for round.
Okay, save on that. That's a different problem sorted away we go.
Oh, open the kill!
This is good not now.
I've only been on a control cease by vitality to the hassle of territory.
That retake you till I think so, you're a million smoke.
What's the reaction to this? You can edge the smoke, he makes does so, and as he has a safe haven.
and not flushed into the line of fire, but now it wants to clear it.
He's ready to swing on out, but the target is going to go!
Beautiful for Mati Samalves!
Mission accomplished.
Vitality sent back to spawn just in robbs, the last piece that he knocked over.
And he was really kicking my fast ride.
He was in the map, the middle he was throwing a grenade over towards long.
He's attempting to keep the road tighter in place, so they can get a man and vanish
fight on B, but the fight came to them and surprised, he's going to be covered with a heap.
In some of these games, some of these shots that he misses,
they feel inexcusable for an offer,
but here he finds the opener,
and they're able to get their first rifle around.
So I'll take that.
We'll just be on board with rocks for this 42nd save.
We'll hear all the lesson from Mattis as well,
not only with the flash placement perfect
to set up mouths, but the fact that he's actually
coming for the second fight, you know, he's there
but to back him up for the trade.
Too often you see that person throw the flash in and what?
just hanging around in ruins, what are you doing?
Give me a hand.
Yeah, definitely clean house there.
And I thought it was going to be a difficult task,
but yeah, you soften up, you find that opener.
There's on display right there.
In that round, they are essentially giving
fatality banana control.
They're stalling out half walls,
so they can't just be completely
bludgeoned to death with pace.
Vitality, they throw mouth and sand back.
Because you're too obsessed.
They respond with half wall you till, make it jarring for you.
And then they've got your boxed in,
and they're good enough to hit the shots.
So I thought process from both teams on display in that one, but because of how well
vitality operated in the first three rounds of play, they have no issue with another buy.
So everybody strapped again and not even gonna bring out an AWP to try and contain some of these cheeky peaks of some piers.
Where does he move this time? Good small for beat.
The extinguisher carmoli says some piers will go for a fight or...
I don't know the point.
He's out of there.
I mean, isn't going to drop its hole in me, fellas, you go forward.
I'd be too catchin' another right, can I?
I just find you for space, the fire tries to step around and flashin' the need a little too much to handle.
Now, I'm still here, you want to do it?
You just swing off the flashback and the upper opportunity for turn.
It's always done very well to know that.
A good flashback and a good timing on his swing.
So you essentially won up an under control as well as bracket.
There you have it, facing new that CTs didn't have it.
And what is the timer? Do they sweep back in to take this back?
The rotation point has some players now.
A little walk's long, cook group up and then clear top mid.
That smoke has faded.
He's going to go around his own
valuable intel
We find second man for my tiny finish
Yeah, I'm gonna fall for an online spying some pious
Give some of the advantage that's folks are up, but it's tough getting past this all. Yeah, yeah, you ain't gonna double swing
I was a
Hit the sharp some pious balls the trigger first
Beautiful
You know, it's where two of them are,
saw them retreating into the site,
and a third now reveals himself.
Have you got in the pit side?
There's nothing but vitality here,
and Rob's realises that.
Just gonna have reside in itself to a quick save.
Okay, well, that again from Rob's.
Backgrounds now for G2,
they're breaking into this,
and another good round from some pious.
So you wanna see?
Yeah, I think it's tough when you're some pious
in that situation,
because if there isn't a pious,
you're pushing what's be,
and you're placing up on me,
you don't wanna be the guy,
I'll tell you, because the closest guy to rotate.
So it's fortunate that fight's game is way.
Now that money does become a bit more of a question.
So Rob's holds on to that.
It's always been able to buy in again.
You can go stand to a tech nine.
Flames.
You can go good little.
Bring out some nades into this one.
It's a bit my own.
Has gone a good little.
Okay, so this means they're just going to sit back and wait
Not all of the opening you took, or you see them react a little bit quicker to what comes their way.
That'd be sad again.
Don't say, we're looking at God!
From up into Malph!
Streaming to the train!
Nothing's there immediately, but Massey does manage to pull one back.
Gras the half-wall finds it bad.
I see, so does the need.
And hey, Grace is low.
Yeah, he's ringing at 13 HP.
Or some parts in transition. Yeah, I'm not ready for that. It's robes another impact for one if you're off
You feel like you have to do something in this round. You just saved the last two. Yeah, I feel like you had absolutely
Nothing you could contribute and this one you try and make a moving get caught
Another tough round for vitality. So very well handled again
Oh, no
Yeah, I'm already in the ass!
The nose!
Oh, this is great!
Oh, this is great!
Yeah, two need kills.
Alright, well, Maze, is it your turn to hold onto the A-K?
Oh, I'm beard, you got heavy, you got...
You know, window, you go B, you've got three lying in weight.
That looks like they'll hold onto one again, okay?
At least it's not Rob's this time.
Yes, someone else's gonna have zero bucks.
Well, maybe not, now at least been identified.
I want to try and hunt this down.
27 seconds left, starting to move down.
But Anna is matters now.
I'm hearing this.
I should just tuck in and close it down as...
Can you try to pop a little bit of your messy
in the situation to make sure they aren't too close?
But he's going to run you down.
Worst case, after time, because as you can,
and every guy makes sure that's not the case.
So nothing saved.
Three straight rounds and all very comfortable, just one casualty in each of these three that have been posted.
So she won the other foot with a fine-assured apartment, a good amount of cash right now for G2 flowing forward and it will have to be my entirety humble down to just a light-buy.
So, can we move about one red second just between the legs?
So in all the flames has to set in five to make the flames cops that one of them
mouths in that lane it's that one right there right if Rob's is able to work he
can get a bit of a gap of a conversation could be had but no right flash pop middle
Oh there's a beautiful young player not equipped with an AK goes Aggie
And that's not included in the Europe, of course.
It's a platform ready for the last two week.
Jesus robs his nail, the eagle headshot.
Two siffing dust.
That's a position to pluck.
Perfect.
Well, they can't outspop if you take the fine to them, can you?
So, what, some heads up play there for months up?
He didn't expect anyone to be holding from the mid-sides, so exploits that.
And far out, Rao from Apex, is it doesn't like X-Tas is going to call that time out?
So, a few of that, within this time, I would say let's try and exploit the
up on A. Let's put a lot of pressure on some piers.
And let's not toss it with banana first. Let's just keep the busy, maybe
throughout the car, Molly, if they're not doing the half-wall smoke. At some point,
you will have to pressure for banana, but we also haven't seen Madison
Mab just go all in. So, right now you could get a change from both teams.
And having to look at the spawns, well, Hunter's got the best banana spawn right now.
I don't know if we'll make too much of a difference if they do want to get stuck in.
they don't have it all on the t-side again. So, some pies can be a nuisance.
Where we saw him relatively aggressive for that first opening pick, but ever since it's been a bit more standard.
And if you take full banana control,
you know, I'm curious if Hunter's gonna be using his own
spawn quick extinguished.
That's a hard one.
Yeah, swinging on him, and a beautiful fine, Zyne was gone.
Now some parts can tuck in, you've got yourself an opening kill, an early advantage.
It's coming to a easy to do to it right now, it's fairly big.
These exchanges, they look beautiful, you see how the pre-meditated it was, they used their time out against them.
Whatever you have, mine, no longer is that.
Oh, lovely, how should we see how easy that worked out for them?
It's not quite tucked into the corner catches and preparing to clear.
There is a bit of a stand-off between Robson and he's got hit side, but now he's going
to have a lot of people. He has half of no issues. In the head shop, beautiful, we
work on the AK47. Yeah, look at crispy. Very good. They could be kicking themselves a
little bit, but they didn't snatch away Mirage with how close that was. But this one is
a little bit more standard, right? You've seen change with full buys. It's not just the
back and forth force by wars throughout, and now it's just Robson again. This is another
around where the only pick comes in so early, then a few more bodies fall when he's meant to be on the other side of the map keeping plays busy but everyone else is dead.
Cool, actually with that.
The first little composed tap, a ton to load, bleeding out, smoking, trying to isolate this juror as he can walk upon Hunter.
I hope he never steps looking for it. Just deep enough angle on the trigger doesn't react in time.
Mark's his
Recipation, that's an ice from robbs he's making this look a little more competitive
Yeah, good thing seconds bombs down T says. There's no way in the world. I still like watching him play
That wasn't enjoyable
But he wants again, but at least it's a bit more active for him. You know, he has probably had very little action for us
Sitting back with the save. He's actually trying to do a bit of damage, but again, you can have to break through at least two more consecutive buyers out of G2
So five to three CT side lead. This is looking good. It is you said you wanted to see it in this
G2-G2, too.
Next lost bonus.
Robbs of those kills, you could just take a partial behind the AK, Robbs doesn't have to invest
and then next round with the 3,400 coming in again, he could get a full buy.
Next time, took the time out, and immediately they lose their open kill of Zywood.
Your hunter-taking is spawn and putting it to green use.
Now I'll be very confident in the name today.
It's what you want to be seeing if you're a G2 fan.
This is probably more of the pace that you're hoping for for vitality to ice them out.
And I think your biggest issue right now is because G2 are feeling at their flowing with the game.
They're going to make a couple more of these audacious moves.
But if you just let them use the block utility, they're mulling the HGs, they're smokes.
Find no a valve, don't get a kill, don't get any damage. You might be able to find the timing where you can capitalize on top of this.
So what was a very clean start for vitality?
They were hungry in the hunts. They were wiping the board, saying everything away to remove the threats is being 5 straight from G2 and it's been a dominant 5.
Is that late play?
One, two, three.
Oh, yeah, marbs has revealed himself,
and now talk to the sandbags.
Check the map of the place.
Doing what's the handle?
And that's just needs to find himself
that an old deciller sprayed down the carry
left in the way of support.
Perhaps it's the first mighty removed.
I betrayed the deck.
That is, that's not a matter of who's blind.
Some pires is perfect, flashed in eyes.
Bit lay on the incendiary.
So bonters get planted in the world.
Please follow-up off.
Why is a little bit of time?
FX has another smoke, he's dropped that CT.
Oh, I don't know.
It's just going to get it deep enough, he can play around it with just a P250.
That was pretty calm, and now they're going to have to find it.
Yeah.
Channeled in through CT, Robbs with the AK blind and ready.
Little crossfire with the dark player.
Oh, not much better, very soon.
The main break, they start to accelerate.
Need a one tap.
Nails, it's good precision from Robbs.
Hard to find. Still not dead.
Somehow, Robbs is alive.
The time, it's got two thin, they get the kills.
It's the gift of views just in time that it pulls it off due to, I mean, that is an
impression rate that matches with a rod kill in the round.
A little bit of a compass on there was a team flash that came into the play while they were
trying to scale up there, so it's up.
I think we have to start at the time to the first flash that comes at the top, the second
one is clearly dead, so matters wasn't ready, he makes up for it and we play this
clear right here, Apex is going to be kicking itself.
I'm very well handled, just take cool calm and collect it and that one to make it
6th straight and that's probably the most threatening in this last patch.
Yeah, there's the runway capture.
Testify to what you're saying about this run from GT6 on the trot.
He's not going to see my target knock it in anything in these gun rounds, but this is just
the nest aga pistol win, do them with a force, and then a full eco.
Look at this.
Okay, really cheeky with it.
I'm going to hang off from Rob's even Gips away.
I haven't confirmed the map is over.
It's a white swing, beautiful!
Rob's in combination now with flames have finally managed to get fatality
a leg up in the gun around.
Alright, now you play Countershot.
You know the maps of the P-Hole, you know some pices still in the mix of the all.
Right now you have this 5-V2, you group up, you look for the finish.
I think the map is going to be able to hold on to all that.
all that out for us, Gully.
We'll be using it to block the door.
There's probably feeling pretty comfortable on me, isn't it, with all these nays?
Money number two, please.
Surely, this is not a type of rat you would see if I tidy over the court.
It died. Why does it feel like it might?
I'm clock at 34, or you tell where that came from.
It's really fun, I'm in the flame, Tom!
There's a cool out.
Should be seeing that we get it to the orphan.
Now you know where he is to jump in on out.
Make it an arm for him.
All the shot flicks, flamesy, but that's the ace site.
Open for vitality.
That is a break to the G2 run.
It took the seventh time of asking, but vitality getting another round of the ball.
And so I was prepared to be able to be a player that's if you carry it through into the next.
It's not going to be any difficulties getting that out for G2.
for G2.
So, Pius has 13k right now and he's about to get the 1,400 of the lost bonus variety.
I'm still going to hold on for AKA.
I think X is going to look a little bit of a look.
So, I wouldn't be saying Furno or I'm immediately wondering if he gets the best.
Isn't some itself running up an honor?
I think you want to try and contain some of these aggressive moves.
The audacity there have been to go for that portion.
Robbs punishes massively.
But you can see, G2 knowing that they have this buffer around the world,
but that's a really keep in the idea.
Yeah.
Now, you wonder, is that the threat that gets pulled
where it starts to unravel that we find us over to six, six half?
I mean, it worked out for Hunter against the tech nine's.
And this time it was a full team effort.
But Rob's power fake position for that aggression.
And that's second one.
Like, oh, yeah.
Take it one, if you don't want it for somebody on the angle,
or if you take the statuses that pass either way.
hard to track, it looks beautiful.
So, if I came to them.
Let's never get it, looks like the government lazy.
If I put something down early,
I'd have to be deep.
Okay, I want to start to land and expect it and I don't need to sweep through.
I should apply it to the B side.
Now I'm going to press for applying towards departments.
So this is one of the more T5 rounds.
So it's a fire's fire's fire is on them.
It's more.
Just a way by the Molly.
It's the drop, look at there, there's another spot.
Oh, you can lift it to that, and he loses his head, and he gets to the helmet, a lot of
snakes that need low HP, maybe he's going to make a play.
A little last risk of us.
Pull up, and you go across that away, and it does look like it's going to fall off, and
it dips on in.
Finds flingsy.
35 seconds, they have to go right now.
and they will run from apex into sight.
Could make things awkward if you get it right.
It's not the spread.
Once it's got vision,
head and legs got the angle,
and it's so good for G2.
They're piling, ready to fight.
Trading out, the portent,
and same them from some pires.
Look at their health of these two.
Ooh, nasty, near,
sexist to the sight.
Still, where do I want to?
The hunt guy, he couldn't find it.
He went under his crosshair.
I've no idea.
Whoa!
Whoa!
Wow, they're not connected.
Hello HP somehow some way there's still alive
Still spammy smile
I think it's a uter
It's not gonna affect them. They double up on the short side time is ticking boys
Yeah, you got to be a bit of a cheeky one from fight out
And outside we've captured them in transition no time no hope
hope unbelievable conversion of that round slipping under Hunter a difference maker from
Rob's.
The boys who live right there, they've never snatched that one away with 24 points of
health combined is insane.
He takes that thing so early in the round trying to spam from apartments into sight.
So I've got brought down earlier in the pieces.
Well, and they're able to snatch that one away.
That one is really going to leave a mark in the mentaler G2 because this could have been
a pretty juicy looking CT half.
I don't know.
It's just got robbed. I don't know the tracking on the spray. I just what how did not one bullet find him?
That's just
It'll just be like that sometimes
Well, they saved one gun and it's the AK. Remember to get the buys thanks to
The spree of rounds, but it's looking like
Really do you get the pre-other?
Spray them on down!
Braves the flames takes almost his entire damage from the flame.
It still sprays down the entirety of vitality.
What a great series, Maldives having.
He's playing without fear.
Some pires removing Robbs and puts it all onto the flames.
Oh, he's this!
All right, now I'm seeing some of the fantastic day of the ocean.
Yeah, I think right there you salvaging what was already a very good half there and just keep in the confidence flowing because G2 in the gun rounds
They were looking great forcing vitality round up to round up for round to try and bring these saves in
They could never really get going other than the pistol with those conversions to late in the piece and one of them had to be a bit of a miracle round the outer ropsons
I would lower an HP
But we asked for this earlier in the piece and we'll bring it back up because we'll be the change of size you will see
I tell you now on the defense, it's going to be this apex flansy combo to try and do what
Mounds and Mata did and they did it well and Mesian rops the two rocks of vitality
response will for the ace site. Again, I want to just draw attention to during crackle of the
likes of Mesian rops not having the best hornments and rops have it a big moment right there
going to self up to 9 kills in that half, he had 20 on map number 1. But for me map number
1 was all about Zywoo and maps, right? Those two names on either side of the server.
Now I'm skipping it up here into map number 2, and here it is, the replay of that final round.
So stop it, back up, down, up and out of the line, always behind him, Nate's coming in.
He knows that he's a clearly ISO, look at the radar during all this moment.
It's important that we're back in the site.
Throwing that YouTube to set him up and here we go.
We split the pistons again.
Okay, logs from now.
It's not going to play.
Just connect on to Hunter.
Head to head to the mouse,
where's my location?
There's one.
Hunter in combination.
Just that double goose through the wooden board.
and that's the end as I will.
I can just launch her into a BX gear right now.
So I can see T with the coffins.
It's like a good measure.
Thanks.
I said, oh, okay.
I need to find too many bodies.
Play too much for them to handle.
It's probably over the well now.
It doesn't have that helpful.
It's pretty up on it.
Found as well to wait for X's face.
And we said to the site, spread in there.
Wings, I didn't do the chat.
You are here.
It's stretching their legs.
Stretching their legs.
Or spreading their wings.
That's it.
It can't be.
There's no other motivation to the boat.
You shouldn't do that.
You can stretch your wings.
You could.
You're allowed to stretch your wings.
You see birds do it all the time?
That's true.
But the other one?
That's do that too.
We'll leave that up to the whole candle.
It's okay to see such a diverse.
I don't know.
I did, so strange that we have farmers watching.
I know, right?
It's middle of the day.
I guess you can kind of, you know, just have a while to decide.
Yeah.
On the side in the combat analysis, right?
Why not?
Well, these two will be holding onto the capital.
That isn't what we saw out of.
Who's heavy got its surprise on the first day, still?
Nice.
So you know, if I try to be fighting back here with the force,
but G2, gun rounds first half, they look great.
I love the ideas.
Some really good individual moments, everything flowing.
G2 is a team that, since they put this roster together,
I have always had a style of counter strike.
I've held in high regard.
I think Source done a good job with this project.
Just we haven't seen them consistently making playoffs.
And that's what needs to change.
So after the first six months of being able to bed in the team,
now it's about a fine of the same heights.
Just crack off.
Look at that.
Nezzy and Rob's going to have pharmacists.
Sure, have you gone on supplies?
Can learn everything off here without a seal, this one goes.
Can they find good output?
The power of saving Calvala.
Now are we in this.
Scout noted.
Yeah, could certainly be.
The massive concern when you look at how it's being defended currently at Juggles,
most of the fence from one man.
Give me a couple more chances you will hit one of those.
one of those. Have you got to waiting for this in the timing?
I'm gonna be serving it instantly because the leash had just shredding heads.
I can't forget about those fantasies. They did absolutely nothing deadly squawk.
I think three should be able to pop this one in now. Still split on the defense, but
I think this confirms it flamesy. If you got the B-Sight, we'll gamble over awards, hey?
Oh, oops, well, no harm, no foul we say in the business is going to be all good to
the whole G2, except at night.
Okay, maybe, maybe we do better to see you new this after all.
I think the 75 CT half is great, so it will be a lot better for my time to get back into this.
Just glad to go to look at the foul converse G2, oh you guys can go check that out for yourself
If you like, there's a second part right now.
And to wrap up the day, there's a theory of verse
to be at the Mongols' verses' pain.
A lot of being on the secondary stream,
a theory of baits with us, and there'll be Sizi,
another new 16-year-old Ukrainian Orpa.
I'll debut for bait, let's see if it makes a different
sense of post to Seki Kawa.
Yeah, and new pain as well.
I say new pain.
I mean, I haven't necessarily got the chance to see
via salmon, pread union, pread union, pread union, and full Brazilian now.
Well, that's good round.
Well, handled, deal with the aggression.
Get them self-not to nine.
Have you got must-dislight a family stat March because he kept the NB7.
So all the power to him.
He's in SMG, believe it.
Yeah, and it's fair enough, I get it.
His MP7's been bossing, you know,
was watching a lot of these vods of even dogs
who used to be there here in the pub, so that was a heap.
I mean, I saw an experiment,
so I'm going to show in the range
for the double headshot kill.
And comparison with the MP9, the MP7 is just like one,
doesn't it, too, but it's a MP9 and three.
I tell you, you had a fire starter of the USP into a garage.
Get one going right now with these saves.
So I would know who's used to fire the tags.
That's a lot of nice name, I'll take the run to the damage, and so we will not connect, think he's just overcorrected there on the flag.
I'm in.
Yeah, you're hoping that you can catch me in some chaos here.
Well, flanks it back, the smoke happens on fire as if they're alive.
It's not gonna land if you want. Now we're invited over the smoke.
Oh, it's far from apex, it does come chumter.
I'm sure that force your hand into A right now.
It looks like there's two of the players on the side of a minimum.
Yes, I'll be over there.
They call in the bluff.
Rotation away from Apex are just flames on the side.
This coming back over.
It's good you told for the finish, but no, she just like 50 seconds to make up their mind.
And they're just parking the bus, but I'm moving a muscle.
You can be in love out to B.
So I went with that flash of the ready.
You're ready, you're just gonna be Rob stuck in back of the A site.
I feel like it's asking you an awful lot of an unarmored desert eagle.
No help.
Yeah, rotations have just been cut off.
Alright, Rob's, you've done the impossible before.
I don't know if I do think the leaping has to go to MBC.
It needs to.
He has to hit like a track at jumping SMG.
Oh, that's the path because that's the trade.
It's done.
It's there.
The supply should be able to mop this one up now.
Just flames it apex up middle.
Catching on a time ago.
Can they slip off the floor?
There you go.
Some pipes in the back of flames.
And now, just take that track this round down.
But it's right from some pipes forward in the rounds.
And it is 10 to 5, 5 round gap.
That by the time you have to close.
It's one of the hardest things I think for vitality from last season was going from winning
Austin, going into the tournament break and then coming out with a tiger on your back
and everybody else hungry, and you're not hitting 100% right and not literally you have
a patch of tournaments and not getting the same result, those preparations start to breed,
but I think that was a good learning experience.
I'm interested to see how to able to manage that.
You went crackle up, now you come to close, you want to continue to make those trophies.
I'm going to ask an interview about who the greatest enemy is, the one to fear
for vitality, he picks K-Fercic Classic, and these themselves.
Yeah, because you need to bring this level of intensity right to these matches, and
couple of gimmicks are a couple of big individual rounds from G2.
I'm telling you, in a whole water we're seeing that right now.
I'm going to fill the platter for G2.
Powerful position for a sniper, trying to sell a flag with a full straight foul.
Here we go. He's going to be fed to the Zywook Orb.
Oh, there's a car off, does well to adjust.
Try and do a beast, please.
I think that cross-down attention.
You can see the two players with the bomb moving towards B.
Flings is actually worried about that slip.
These blocks might work perfectly with their boosted up.
This is actually stalling out time,
so there will be clearing CT, but Flames is still not on the site.
Does he hedge back over?
So when Flames is connecting right down and make sure nobody's entrenched,
now that's called clear.
He's got this in Sendry to work with.
He seconds.
There's not as play first.
The pretty world.
I caught on the uncloud shrubs busts down the threat.
Flames he played a deny.
That's the next question.
It looks like he will, no his times against the T side here, or some pies make a sound
cue ahead of this, always after sweet through.
Perfect shot!
No need for the double zoom with precision like Zaywoo.
I can't even get the bomb down in time to make a conversation, so there you go on the
14th side.
And hold on more with that came from.
It's really threatening when you have a player do that circle jump that heavy got
just did, because if they're throwing that spill over smoke on the balcony and your circle
jumping out short with you, so your A players think it's A, right?
They were just doing that to find a little bit of space right there, and they threw it.
It's just the orb.
That takes down heavy got to go.
Then you get to one, and then they're stalled out.
That is disconnected from this.
He takes first, but still the only safe plant there, first oranges, but some plants
got to something a little bit more standard as...
Ooh, taking a quick orb line down a little.
Deep of last smoke.
I'll see how the battle called the 9th of Ghost Mouse kind of happened by Tati's
non-Runner, defensive half, and lose the one times we're taking out of space. Matt is
talking about taking it space, they've got form brackets.
Up short already poking their nose into the Zyru's off.
This is clearly a gap into making pressure early within these rounds.
It's another three-second, it's starting out again.
Oh, flames, he punished.
That's ending to see exploded.
Perfect opening to help about it by now, but we were asking if how it was going to go.
Big open.
Ooh, that rops is managed to stabilize for vitality.
Maybe with a proper perfect, perhaps the corner dropped to the double kill.
Mishot on the sniper, rops could go hunting the so-can hunt!
True to his nature, true to his name, comes on out on an absent one side with.
Ooh, what mounds is tapping heads, very sharp today.
Let's see if he plays through this.
Hunter on the other side.
And they've exposing now banana.
Who ordered a book?
Now I'm just heard of all that.
Feels like he's destined for a third, isn't he?
Just as easy as that.
Do you know what I said, fact to be now.
So committed, I think you just finished your A and fight him.
Oh, not if he's hitting shots like that.
I'm easy with a perfect start to the one versus three clutch.
To be exact at the time sensitive mission, we're going to cross.
I'm sure we're mission accomplished now.
Now it's as the elevation.
I do it after I did another one of those.
Oh, get the info.
No, no, no, no.
That's lovely round from my hole.
Confident shooting again, right?
This guy is really delivering right now in the AIM department,
just deleting players run those screen.
He's not backing down from the jewels.
That's what you need to see from a player who takes Mouser's roles
and responsibilities, right?
This is somebody who needs to be said in the tempo.
Your tone set up for your team.
When you fight there, just pop it over the wall,
Flames you look silly.
Let's go from Hunts up.
Let's say a Stafford to the Disney's mid-regrew for the fight, and then now I'm just
part of it.
It's a really clean round.
I've got one to the montage.
I'll just go the way from the down.
Vitality.
Let me hit the bud.
Yeah, it's never good.
We need to see yourself force buying in with a max 7.
There's initial smokes of now faded, who makes that first move from Alton, Loks.
It's a big win for G20, though.
There's lost a last three in a row, one to fury at 1-5, and so I was back at the
major, and then even in the start of 2021, since losing it too.
Liquid.
I think I think it's below the jump being shot, go.
Yeah, they're one of these miracle vitality moments right now. Someone has to do something else.
They're really testing marvellous on these jump shots.
Even if you did just hit it in the previous round.
They're just open for a little overstep.
So I will mismanages his position. Have you got to ready to punish?
Okay, that's the last of about smoke and robs.
They're gripped up now. They're mounted into the finish.
Here it comes, lots of people about all loses out immediately using his head to hot dark
rates.
I mean, engagement nearly had three on his screen.
The Nezzy Sekker get it to get it and play ahead of the smoke, but we'll go down,
three, three.
For speccing some pices, most of them are damaged now by heavy guard.
Maybe these find something over the top of it, though, as it oscillates, but not
talking too likely, apex, forced into an abs flank with a shotgun, one head of a shot.
And he got a catch as they head of Massey boosted up, they know there was someone else there.
I can't hold that.
Look at that.
It is feeling like a dire way back up this hill for Vitaly and Ubus.
It's feeling like a certainty at this moment.
Our second glimpse, and aive Vitality is in Ubus.
That's how they'll manage.
That's how they'll manage.
There's something that it'll be the first anubis on the new update.
I've played it yet. They've played it at bouncy, but that was still the old iteration
against the eyeball as in Falcons.
Right, I just saw on the graphic that one.
And I guess I'm excited that was last three months.
So yeah, haven't seen a new best from Vainzality.
Still don't really know how I feel about the whole.
We'll get there.
We'll talk about it.
Okay, well, have you guys, he's bringing an SMG into what could be the final round right now.
Is this going to be a page change?
Knock out, blow.
It's on his second middle.
This is going to be straight up the gut.
This is going to be fast.
All right.
We're just going to fight.
Fight matters.
Fancy is his chance inside.
We're playing around the smoke.
We're going to be over.
No, try to find a gap.
Ooh, there's a smoke break for the entry.
Some players quit.
I, to the stove get the entry.
Perfect.
Our water's got too much of a handle.
What is all over the side?
Lost the box.
Oh opportunities for more.
Looks good though.
I think it's perfect.
Distracted by the push of the smoke and at least
clawed one back.
Yeah, couldn't align up any better for a pegs right there
for the finish.
Look, I like the audacity to call that type of around.
You know that they have a really poor buy on the other side.
You try to catch them off with a set piece.
That's the way you can take the guessing out of it.
OK, we're right here.
We're on the door of closing this and in quite a dominant fashion,
The last time that Vitali lost in front of his badly was back at Rivals last year against Furia.
So you think it okay? Let's just get it done.
And you squander that opportunity, but I still like the call.
Now it's just because you're angry.
One doesn't need it's a bad round or bad call.
It doesn't sight everyone chaos into the mix, which is one of those lighter guns.
We're covered with capitalise on top of the Tabasco River in the Gulf.
He is so good today.
So comfortable in these engagements times blood drawn with the only A-K in play for G2.
Nick and moves.
Yeah, and quickly.
No.
He backs here in the commitment.
So, we'll be split off.
Good timing on how we're coming back.
So, the first from his M4, the slaughter's the more.
Displaint marms into roeics in the opening.
I have a guard.
Alright, here we go. One before situation, but this one is done and dust it.
I think on that dust to your reference. He was at that game versus spirit as well. We're also one the one me three out me to be.
It's kind of different team. Could've been against mouse.
That could've been. I think I looked in the same game.
Yeah, it's either against spirit or mouse. I know he had a couple of big clutches in those series who were casting, but
I don't like a dog's dinner and this one is eight.
You can see that the poison apex, you notice how good that flash was.
Two players in Paul takes his time.
I'm getting too stressed about it.
There you have it, Simon.
Confirms it.
It's just a four round gap.
But we'll be the guns now.
We're going to hold off.
One six in a row on the defensive side.
Yeah, similar bar set for vitality.
I think the fortunate factor is the lost bonuses
is the loss bonus is gonna build up.
So you're gonna have a couple more gun rounds
in this before we're done from G2's standpoint.
I wonder if anyone's gonna drop an AK for Mounds
or if you will have to operate with this collo.
Because there was a couple of players hovering around,
like 3.6 to 3.9.
So it won't be the perfect buy.
Some players are even going in with the gluel as well.
And if there's an AK for Huntsup,
there's that flash too, you can see them do it for dance.
It makes sure that doesn't get out of control.
Not going to the output.
He designs from some of these pieces, flamesy.
Great final, just a week ago.
There's a bit of an off-tonement.
Robbs has been having some impactful moments in this one.
It's always still delivering, but here we go.
I can't really go so far to take that slow tip.
It's really risky this, he is. Wow. Trust that smoke with his life and manages to get very early for position.
Apps control, flashed in his mouth, there's nothing to report, boiler.
Yeah, they accelerate this, right? If we're not taking the banana earlier, we're going to make sure we get smaller holes.
It's a pressure on the two man A defense, which is three right now.
I'm trying to pull attention in my lead to mass.
What a clear!
No matter what he asks!
No, wait a second, we're going to go a little.
Have a nice half-hole, a lesser weapon, and the apex doesn't even do anything.
It didn't even have a chance to react.
Beautiful.
The consistency out of my options in these last two maps.
Top of the tables in that round.
The full 24-round game on Mirage.
Trying to stop this from going the distance here.
I need to really get a timing on this brake flamsy.
I support a Mazzy, but these two are part of the scoreboard.
It's come early.
It's a small tip.
A small fish shell.
Mazzy, what's your play here?
Once again, he's staring at me.
Smoke out, force to unload, they know.
Wait two of them were different guns audible.
I'll get a cross.
Yep, some Bias of Arn Massey as well, the smokes.
It's just got so well, some Bias was completely betraying.
They got all the time, the bomb didn't get a cross.
Oh no, weird one now.
Time!
Scuttling the smoke committing to be.
This could be one hell of a brave.
That's catch the back of that is.
Now the bottom is loose, now you've got no seconds.
You've got to get a move on.
It's getting hectic in the comms.
Nob's does not touch the code.
Oh, she's bleeding!
Oh, can't you!
Good job, huh!
G2 provide the necessary frags.
It's just rocks arriving.
Now, does go down.
Peace and heavy price, though.
Just 30 points of health.
No one dark needs for naught.
Informs him as to the potential set-up knows they're on site somewhere.
And there's a swing from heavy guard click yours that we go three.
G2 to Naseus taking the map pick of I-T-O-A for them.
All right, all right, all right, a bit of class from Malms again.
We got a panel with Richard Standin' by to break that one down.
Yeah, it's, we'll start there, right?
What a great place to start.
You highlight at the importance of Malms,
whether we could occupy the space,
setting hadn't had a great start to the year,
but he's really dragging this team through this series
and made it competitive.
And I'll talk about them a bit going to a new,
this could be a coin toss.
Yeah, that's the best version of Malms we've seen
in D2 in a long time.
I know it's just too much, but as the anchor set,
like what better game to do it against like Vitality.
You're going against the best team in the world.
You are much, much needed if you want to make the surprise
that is winning against Vitality and so far over the course
of both maps he's been firing on all signals.
Even in the last round, we'll just throw out
your hand called clearing apex to spite getting 34 by flames.
He'd both regret grenades, but also to span from the M4.
That's sort of like the melt that I was envisioning,
you know, when he got more responsibility
when G2 won Nick won a monacy left back in the day.
So to see him thrive, that's good.
And he's been a massive win condition so far for G2.
Yeah, absolutely.
And I think it's important also, I hope he has
and I think he has worked on his mental tool.
I used for him so much pressure on himself last year
at the start, right?
Because he calls left and I was playing those positions.
Like, we're not expecting you to be an equal.
It could be an equal years to be able to do
the thing that he does now, right?
So people in the community did expect you to be an equal.
Yeah, that's full in the world.
When you were young, why are you young?
So you listen about type amongst them.
Yeah, maybe.
But obviously he's been having a great game here so far, especially that first half,
you know, Vitality Cooing just established any banana control whatsoever, and they were very
adamant about it, they kept trying, and the big reason for that was, was Melbs.
At the other end, it won't sync up because we'll probably take a look at some of the bits of
piece from Melbs and Momo, but just messy, we spent most of the 2025, I feel like talking about
what made Vitality kind of be that, you know, all conquering force was messy got the buff stepped up,
you know, you go all the way back to like 23, 24 people question mark you whether or not you can be on on the team.
And, you know, start a little bit slower again, it kind of starts, you know.
Yeah, it hasn't been a great game for a familiar. It doesn't know beating around that, but again,
you were also growing up against Melts a lot of the times on the earth and I didn't really have an
And he's the time in that regard.
I'm not worried for Messi, as you said,
like this was not a great game.
No doubt about it, you know,
but overall he's a player that usually steps up a bit more,
I guess, when we get deeper into the tournament
with this more significance in the game as well,
we've been talking about his grand final performances
and how he actually does well in playoffs as well.
So it is an isolation right here on Inferno.
There's no way I'm going to spin this into,
you know, that was a great game by Messi,
but I'm not worried on behalf of him,
nor my salary for that.
It's just very, it wouldn't be very interesting to chat
with Vitality after the game about the veto, right?
Because if you wanted to play to your own strength,
you picked that too.
If you wanted to punish, you pick over pass, right?
And in Fernando being there is, you know,
it's hard to say vitality has weakness.
So when it's vitality, I mean,
this is only the fourth map lost for them this year, right?
One in the grand final to Fury and Crackout,
two to Falcons at Blas.
So they've been just so extremely dominant,
but it just didn't make too much sense
from the other side, try to make sense with it for me.
I think it's either, if it's not like them
wanting to get more reps on some of these maps,
perhaps it's just in the prep, watching how
G2 approaches in Furno, maybe it's thinking,
ooh, we have the answer for this.
Like we think we actually match up really well against this.
I don't have an answer for you outside of that.
I think it was statistically right, I mean,
an knowing how comfortable Vitality is on us too.
Yeah exactly. I mean, I didn't pull the start as well, but like obviously, the losing inferno is in a normally just an inner of itself, right?
I mean, kind of crazy. It's been a map that's so good for me. Yeah, it is an anomaly, but it's also what I spoke about coming into the game.
I do feel we've seen this from about Saturday before in group stage games, especially beginning of tournaments, whether that is the
to make us, you know, the best, the one scenarios,
you can excuse that that was the best,
the ones and sometimes the lose games there,
but overall, I feel like they have a habit of starting off,
I wouldn't say slope, but not as well playing
as we then see them doing in the playoff.
So I'm not surprised that we see them struggling a little bit here
that we don't see the best version.
There's also been a lot of games in this period
where they've been winning tournaments
where a lot of them have been a question mark,
where they could have lost,
where it was close, where they allowed their opponents
to be competitive.
So it's not like we see vitality dominate every single game
and I think you said it pretty well for D2.
It's a team that's been showing they can play Counter Strike at a high level.
So about 70% 90% that's not good enough if you want to dominate a team like D2, who is on the ground.
I've seen them basically just clean up their act after Mirage.
Like we were saying, I mean, it was more G2 losing that map than it was Vitality winning it.
And here they played a cleaner game, definitely also in the second half on this story.
So we're on the T-side, maybe we're in the stubbornness
where Talethi was going towards that.
And he wants it, I think it's important.
Another player we touched on some Pios.
He had, maybe not statistically wise,
but I feel like he had a great game
because early on on the CT side, he was very mobile with the app.
He was able to find openings.
Maybe not the first kill for G2,
but really to secure the rounds from that point on,
with some of his kills that really made it difficult
for vitality to get into rounds.
And as soon as the wingman, obviously, from Malm,
we had Mattis, you know, all great rifles.
You do need to do well.
Yeah.
I'm glad you brought it up, right?
Because I feel like we still haven't seen the best of G2 in that guy.
We should think about heavy guard as being maybe the most stable player
within the lineup, the guy you can always rely on.
The net is as well as has this expressivity to him.
You know, he has certain games, he has certain tournaments that they even said,
well, he's the one stepping up.
So so far, it's been the standout player, and now it's no doubt about it.
we haven't seen much from Henny God, we haven't seen, you know, that much from
Medis, he had a great first half year in infernal, but then faded out a little bit.
So I feel like G2 right now, as the anchor said, they cleaned up the active play
good counter strike.
They were very adamant about Henny, they ate bombsite in a fast pace every single
round of its inside.
And I don't feel we've seen, you know, the full force of G2 coming out by the end.
They still managed to win quite convincingly on infernal, probably could have won on Mirage's
world.
So in terms of whether it's the potential lie and how well can G2 actually play not only in
this game, but for the future of the tournament as well,
you're looking to watch Madness,
you're looking to watch heavy-gathering,
you're still saying, they seem more potential.
Yeah, I mean, it's a good point, actually,
given how close Mirage was,
we could have been looking at a 2-0,
against Vitality to start the tournament off.
But let's talk about this,
a new was picking a bit more detail now,
because as we said, I'd love to get X-Tas
here to explain it, because obviously,
there is something in this,
that you look the best thing in the world
and just randomly pick your map.
Not just the pick of inferno, but also the ban of all are passing the second phase.
It's going to be an O-brainer for G2 to actually the ban of dust too, from a utility
in the second phase.
And then, no ban of G2 to get rid of all are passing.
You knew if that was going to be your ban, that O-R-Past, a lobbyist was going to be the third
map.
Wow, a lot of mispronunciation of maps.
But I'm very interested to see this from, because a lot of things have been talking about
creativity on a new bus and not having enough time because of when the
map changes to a looping happened during bounty and then people played on the old
version then you're going into crackout with not much practice really so a lot of
people were banning it, every chance they could get and now it's about how
well teams utilize you know this new opening and approach the city side and I
think G2 will definitely be one of those teams that we will see some
things that other teams will probably copy right and try to find some
advantages in how to exploit all those changes.
Yeah, Jacob, the return of the new business definitely helped some teams.
Yeah.
G2 and Vitality among them.
I'm sure if it helped them, Vitality also played trained at a very high level.
So in that regard, I think you switch out a method that you're comfortable with, a method
that you could play, you know, an incredible high level.
So, and it was just a bit of a wild card.
I don't think it made Vitality look any weaker, you know, I think it's still as he
because it's been such an early day for news with the update to the map,
but also the reintegration.
It takes a bit of time and a bit of practice before you figure out whether or not
it's going to be a stronghold for you or whether or not it's going to be one of those
maps that is in the middle of the pack.
So I think it's too early to determine whether or not it's been a strength of
utility.
For D2, I think when you are team who is trying to punch out what and when you're trying to
to try and, I guess, change the landscape of where you're at, adding a new map like that
is always going to be a good thing.
You can come in and see a cassette, maybe try out some new stuff and be a bit
innovative with it, especially with Hunter's and in game leaders, well, great
experience from back in the day with G2 when Montesien Nicol was on the line up
and they played a new result and incredible high level. So I think if you're due to
you're happy about it and if you're about to tell you, maybe it's a fresh breath
of air, maybe it's another, you know, a challenge for them to overcome, but I don't
think it made them any strong of no weaker final. I think also G2 and they played
against the picked against spirit in crack call and didn't go their way, but they
They were good when they were able to establish map control, establish mid-control, and
sort of go for those splits towards bomb sites and slower rounds.
They tried to change the pace a couple of times, didn't necessarily work all too well
for them.
But what we see from G2 in general is they still tend, there's a lot of their game that
set, you know, like the calls are set from free time, or there's maybe a couple of variations
in the mid-round that they could go and call for, there's not a ton of defaults where,
You know, players are getting put into positions
and then based off of that,
you're making mid-run calls,
or those players are telling the rest of the team,
what to do based of where they are, right?
And perhaps that's how it has to be
with Hunter Stiller in the IGL days
and maybe some of the players that they have
are not super vocal, you know,
they need to be given instructions
on what to do in the mid-run.
Then that can be fine for now for the long term.
I think that will have to change
because it is a bit reminiscent of ends
and how they were as a team and also one of the reasons why they couldn't really ever break through as the number one team.
I mean, I think that in the news, it always felt to me that the strength in it is if you have really good solid bulldozer t-sides,
you're just going to blow the CTs out the water and you're going to close out the map.
And that was why Aurora were able to do so well. I meant for so long because I think it was just like, if you can aim and trade,
you don't have to think too much about anything else really and it's it can be a simple
map on a T sideway. It can be a map where you're on the T side at least gets to control the
pace and you sort of like and flush out the CT players as well especially given it's it's
so compact and some of the bumpsides with the utility. I always describe it as when you're
on the CT side you're like a fishing a barrel like there's only so much movement you can do and
at the end of the day if you're fishing a small barrel you will eventually get end up being shot at
you know at some point and I think that seems a bit with the new video.
That's a new property for everyone at home.
Is she fishing in a barrel?
Yeah. I cycling away for a while and then we do a barrel fishing with.
Yeah, he don't.
He's so much time in the day.
Yeah, sure.
He used to hate that game when I was kid anyway.
But I do think that's changed a bit with the new layout.
So again, for me, I don't want to make any any rash conclusions on the map.
You know, it's still new. We saw it being played out a bit in a cracker.
But I think the next couple of months, we're going to figure out where that is going to be at.
If I'm full from here, you can go.
Yeah, I'm just excited to see what both of these teams have on Anubis.
Again, Vitality played the entirety of Crackout, not too much time.
I'm not sure how much work they were able to put in,
but this will definitely be something that people will test them on moving forward.
All right. Thanks a lot, guys.
So we go to a break a wild card pick from Vitality.
As let Anubis out there for the deciding map,
can G2 upset the favorites on the first day?
I'm going to find out soon.
He said she loves you, but she can't love me.
But I love you!
I won't play render anymore.
What's going on?
Can't you go?
I don't want it's bad, I don't want it's bad
The human body was built to Rungu, not surrounded the test in one singular posture for 12 hours a day.
It's time you're changing the world.
This is Secret Lab, type Riva.
I've been on my way to continue this video.
Game! I would like it.
I'll be back in your every move.
Stop!
Are you ready?!
the
A1 of PGL Closion a Parker
Oh, then I found you. I'm gonna go and up and down like a crazy person little bit. Yeah, okay. That's cool. Yeah, alright
We do have that. No, it's not a no, it's not a no. It's not a no. Oh
Whoa, where are the rollercoaster?
I hope you'll hang around the rollercoaster with us as well
because this one has gone three maps.
Oh, yeah.
Day one of the Swiss.
Now, what loser is, I'll just drop down to the zero one bucket.
It isn't gonna cost you anything too crazy,
but for Vitality who are doing some legacy building right now.
I'm sure they would love to keep the sheet relatively clean.
Yeah, what's exciting for me, though,
is not only we get to go to the third map,
We get to see more about a new bus and there's not a whole lot of changes.
Is he on it there?
Hey, that's a significant, he definitely changed this dynamic.
We saw G2 playing this in crack-off and a key feature there.
T side was instant smokes for Deep Khan.
We can talk more about that.
But this is our first look at vitality on this very map.
Mattis, who play forward for info?
He's already peak three.
Like a head of the flashbang and he just gets the head dead.
You're quick taps.
Two of the three outside of me.
It's just one man on his head.
It's made he's got a jewel.
He's got a win.
Got a win.
Despite the output from Mattis,
he's done so much work,
but still I want to go down if they can find him.
He picked up five Mattis, a starting secretary.
He picked it all.
Ha ha, hand from Mattis.
Beautiful from the lefty, but he's doing everything right.
Ah, they're looking like a left handed lunatic right there.
I head to the flames, take it to the fight.
putting a real tough look on the face of mezzie
has been having a struggle some series
that third frag, I said a jewel and he
able to win that one out.
Beautiful way to kick off the account here
on a new fiscal cash that again.
So guess the timing,
oh, that's a pretty beautiful isn't it?
So cool with it.
I will do the force for my target.
Now the bomb going down this one
is gonna be pretty meek.
Oh, I love this from Hunter.
Me game, you usually get to see what this opens up.
these early fights, rocks from rugs, it's going to be pre-embing this angle, the front
is a bit of a hell of a shout.
I've contained for now too much damage coming to you don't have to be in a rush if you
have a tie, we've already seen teams with good flashes to deal over the boat pocket.
It's also a mully that we've seen teams flirting with, so in the early stages of new
enubis and its development, a lot of it is about tea side making sure that they're mullying
and adding the whole, stall out the CT aggression, it's not something you can do on a force
by a situation like this.
So you boxwork land, Hunter, slaying to harass.
There's 70 angles that are all tough to deal with, as the window catches nothing on
that first glance.
Okay, so the starting's trying to close that gap with 8 packs in e-box, they'll
push up, be name for info.
So if I may as you begin, Matt is this time only the one.
It does well on some nersey, but flames you're very important trade, and you can see
mount is hanging on by a thread as well.
I have picked some right behind me.
Oh, beautiful.
Okay, just hunt to hear.
Rotate has got his way from me and he picks just winds it out.
Oh, they're probably playing the safe.
They're maybe walking into the safe.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
I'm going to get that.
It's a sightseal.
You heard some steps ahead of you, Garb.
He hit the brakes hard.
Whoa.
You know what?
You've got to hit some.
It's gone.
Look at the mini maps.
Green.
Boy, get over here.
That's not bomb going.
Gentlemen.
Just make it.
Yeah, crazy. Second round goes their way. All right.
So that is called immediately out of that.
You're walking a free ropes up to do a little looking towards a right?
Or does he just chill to contain?
I think it's only doors. It was a second round.
Yeah, he could go and have a look.
If you could set him up with a flash, right?
Do it at least to consider.
And they're still hanging around on B.
You look at the right up there.
Warwick of the late retake.
They're worried that G2 are fishing on the B site,
thinking that, okay, if you overstep the mark,
we get the punish, we'll potentially snatch away in.
So I mean, Rob's, he's always going to take his time with these things.
Yeah, he's a risk of us.
Yeah.
You saw what the thought process was from my target there at the Kong, so it comes in.
And they give a double mullies.
So there's one that lands.
He's left the front side of the pillar.
That's what flushed valves into his demise right there.
He picked my lovely double entry.
The second hole, a lot more impressive.
You took really the highlight of the first.
Yeah, and this is interesting.
The desk obviously discussing the fact that they've let this guy through.
You ain't even talking about the map peak.
You know why they're not trying to push on overpass.
I think that when you look at the format,
you got, okay, well, it's forgiven because it swears.
But this is still vital. You don't want to give anybody confidence against you.
First and foremost. Second of all,
you know what happened last season when a couple of losses started to stack up.
And you have a long season ahead of you.
This is your third event. There's plenty more to come.
You want to make sure that you're limiting
limiting how I actually have to put in there. Right, I'm sure Matt and X has the thing
put it in, but X for best of three. That's more prep. Give us a couple days off. A couple days to
focus for those playoffs.
He picks down or anyone. They always add drops to things that they've out.
Couple. They love a drop. They love a drop.
What can we do make it so to decision they have to make it all in okay?
Well a slow round with this one in vitality before this left the map pull they're on a bit of a string
They had five consecutive wins on a nervous with the old version so they're not slouches on this
It was seen as a bit of a weakness for a point, but it's certainly they put it all for a lot of time and see and by not playing it early
You get to watch all the other teams with all of their concepts on ideas and you can go in like that
We'll take that and we'll build that into our philosophy of how to approach this
You're awesome, it's very feeling for any Bianca
Just mouths on an island with an entire squad
I'm gonna see connection doesn't quite finally ballet on to a person so the site is falling
I want to know if you want to have a little bit of a look, maybe with that famous in the MP9, just see if you can snap something away
or you know it's going to be more of the same into the next and you can just get
for the same type of place of a tundi.
Two one up and not looking to hunt right now looking to retain.
This is a versatility where as I was,
his class kid's got 29 MVP's.
He's got the 10 trophies in 18 events.
That's 29 MVP's and 10 trophies more than everyone in Twitch chat.
We love them though, don't we?
Yes, absolutely.
I'm going to look at some other, you know, uh, I guess that's not right, but the last.
So at 17 consecutive top four finishes, it's that too off of the great Australas.
We had 19, but then Australas also had 11 consecutive and then 10 consecutive in different
streaks.
Okay.
So vitality of the second of all time, but Australas have one, three and four.
And then I think it's mouse.
Actually, mouse could be in there somewhere a bit more, but anyway, second of all times,
doesn't.
It doesn't sound as good as that.
It doesn't.
No.
But these early stages of 2026 is like compound learning drop in these events, especially
with how stack closes.
Let's hear it out here.
That's in the state.
I think they've said it's much.
I know that they should have been in the tendency, but either way everyone else will
feast on them.
They're a mission.
It's a really nice nature.
They've got a lot of cool though, in fact, it's such a common position to be jiggling
from with a smoke in your hand, and so you can punish someone doing that, forces and
back with the flames afterwards.
How long can you sound that, Bruce?
Yeah, just messing with that.
I felt like they were already in the air that pressure point.
It's kind of reminiscent of the same idea where they put a fly pressure from main, take
that e-botspace, and the bomb goes in, then.
Have you got a zina?
You can get it to session.
I'll have a shot.
As Zee and Heavy got to return to the favour, bomb, bomb, bomb, yeah.
So if you can get it, bolt on to it.
I can back off defensive smoke and you can be away.
Have you got track into the smoke?
Oh, I'm so sorry, no?
The room does adjust quickly though.
James, I was on the way to punish heavy guard.
Okay, so we haven't seen anything just yet from Vitality.
I understand right there, they win the Force, and then they deal with the Force by his back.
But anything where they're playing around the new changes, right?
As far as middle, that's where the early concern is going to be.
So otherwise it's been standard.
They've considered the potential for it, but let's see, do they try and play around there?
And this is something that you two have a long game against Liquid.
Easy, it's pretty easy to expect a Mersi for that one.
This is looking very direct. Everybody heading over to the WSBA side with an app right now.
They think they've done enough to condition them to stay, lights on a, well, well, place in symbiosis that you're going to force on extinguish.
Just to key right now, that is the Sephora you pushed all the way up E-9.
They know it's not B-9.
Okay, this is actually huge.
very early in the foe you'd like to extinguish outside of air you have to go to reaction is a jinnel smoke
he might have to get flamed in the feats that block coming out early
I'm really just going to post your in water and execute a behind this
surprise is close by
I'm to plane from camera I think what happened was is that if the
because of the heat stick with they couldn't line up there now
surprise that's a ball
they go break it for the spray for some fire
Oh my flame see it's heavy god strong on his side getting right out
It's just one from robs hunter's very low
Then you big a boss
Oh, I still alive
It's gonna use that smoke to his own success. He's gonna try and slink through in the blind spot. What not looking already?
This side by side
Taking their time waiting for that smoke to fade up some Mattis gonna have a head
Oh, when it's a match, it's on to apex.
I'm not going to cheeky with it. You didn't answer that.
Yeah, I'm not going to judge.
The mystery of that smoke right there.
God excited for a minute for the Rob's multi.
Yes, and Pius Bunny's life on the line to draw the fire there,
and then have you got to get some activate as the anchor with the multi kill.
Yeah, we love a selfless teammate.
Makes it a whole lot more viable for the multi full heavy guard by taking the alien gauge with.
I'm so sorry, Brian, go around to pick up.
There's the reason you're right there behind the flames.
Just knocked over and pulled him on there
from Mattas to leave that pressure and then drops.
Just need to see it to run out.
It's ever buying again,
the eight of you keep the Zywood,
made it for the rest, and look how quick this is.
This is a gold nut guy, quick.
This is a gold nut guy, quick.
Oh, my God, Zywood!
It's got something to be!
Yeah, he's even a rush!
Oh, Lee, have you got the probably never died back quick to it?
The line into a name with the A-W-P, just launching it.
Wow. That's cool. Really love that.
Well, feels like both these rifle rounds in a row. It's clear that they want to keep heavy-go to the mud.
It's been having the top series.
It's hatching now.
I'm a re-aggress.
It's all on the side as I would lobes it out.
We'll fly a smoke.
It's up up to stairs and this is a gamble.
It's a hoping.
It's correctly.
The tea coil thrown out too mid.
Now we're going to have to go shoot smoke drops at 40 seconds.
That's a bit of a buffer but they can blow this open. So hate you on apex.
Yeah, and he's going to try and use that smoke and it's going to force him to be exposed.
And I was trying to play a headblock for you to make it weird.
Whatever angle man, I'm going to make a magic line around the jail side.
Is the flashbang ready for you to just the one.
Round. Even with the rally of you two coming in nobody moves a muscle on the A side G2
Just staying planted with their gable stack.
just definitely feeling a bit sold at the moment.
Sorry. Okay guys, if I killed them all, we could win the red buff.
I guess you guys hold on to your guns.
But last bonus, 1900 going into the next.
Poor sword.
Have you got what we have at a bite?
Cheers to see what they do about the Malps scenario.
Have you got to have a bite?
Unless Malps gets the rifle.
They want to take the save with the three guns and then go for a team bite
into the following.
Those questions are many more coming into the next.
To think how that round started, was I was just running into Maine, but they owe you Pete.
And then they walk into a site with just one man defending, the power of that opening kill, and the power of the CT's having a gamble.
That's a ball I'm going for the guy with.
Time out Taken, saw on the mic.
So now I'll be zin with a fabbass.
Have you got the same?
It's gonna at least give them more utility.
Okay, have you got the sole back into an MP9, so different orders being issued?
Just going through the spawns.
Have you got doesn't have one of the best spawns to be using the timing to try and push
out the hole?
time I was elapsed back in round seven of our third map deciding how and who will be going
into that one win zero losses column here in Swiss.
Today's biggest upset, well I don't know, it's biggest upset I think foot, if people are paying
attention to you, they know they're good but they took down a roar up, they took up the
It's nice to see after there are, there's a bit of performance.
It's difficult to get a sightline.
I don't know how this smokey has dropped here, I love this from Hunter.
It's for us some aggression, support the flashes from A, and court-mancelling!
Well, this play from Robbs.
There it is.
Hunter punishes him and they have taken the B-side.
That's it.
There it is.
No one's important.
Some pines are playing a passive game.
Malbs both of them congregated in towards the E-box fight.
How long does it take by tidings, starting up this post plant?
Close plant, that becomes the biggest question right now.
We can get out of the motor plows coming into the U-Boss, but B-Mains also need to be a problem.
I don't know, they can keep it smoked, you might be mean as the main conversation will happen.
Well, Apex is he.
Packs has got such a perfect position, they're not even considering this.
Too easy, frags, there's the first heavy good likely to swing.
Apex does control the spray for the headshot.
Now I'll stick around.
For a moment before it's time to get to him.
That's tough. It's just grouped up counterstrike. There's really no nuance that's like, okay, you guys want to take water
Which means you're gonna have somebody coming out the hole there'll be a supportive element and you're gonna have players playing through e-box
Right come to isn't just gonna do this on his own so we're just walking through being a
Like that's the the people's gap the available that situation and now your stuck in some really tough choke points
Yeah, I just was sinking feeling from some piers as you see three players swinging out be men you know the sight that's lost at that point
I absolutely can't throw one by Salad Z.
I even stopped his over, right? Robbs is able to...
just pay that with his death.
And then Apex just hit real mission for it.
Let's start our last one.
This is looking...
I understand...
The map's still...
At least in my opinion hasn't been sighted by us.
And I think the floor we were talking about 8493.
I'll just play like you again.
This shot from the sniper could be caught out by this forward position. So broken
He plucks to the bare flamesy traits. Keeps us in our forearm for you. No surprise
Blossom there.
Drop the smoke to block. Everybody goes down for free. This one gets tricky.
Then she takes the fire to the main adder it now.
Oh, yeah, goes down, gets tricky.
I'm just gonna try and amplify some pressure here.
Definitely happy to see Mattis if your mouth is a little bit of a helping hand
and defending of this beast at this time.
I have to be able to find the gun in the smoke here at Mowbs.
It's looking for it and he has found it.
He being pushed his massive from some pires.
Oh, wow.
Oh, wow.
Oh, wow.
Oh, wow.
You got to buff all that smoke.
What a fates.
Oh, surely fated into this now.
You think so.
The Rob's is always diligent.
Not gonna clear it, not gonna clear it.
Oh!
Some pies take the shot man, take it, take it, take it, take it, take it, take it!
Think from from number two,
There's actually a brought low, but he is still alive.
Hoping from over extension.
Thirty seconds.
Neither pick a site right now.
It looks like it's gonna be due with position and Muzzy.
And they're gonna lose the bomb here.
I said, he got looking the wrong way perfect, double swing,
communication flowing for G2.
And as in his start moving, if he wants to win this,
Yeah, the bombs all the way deep into the war
Bob in the round and no way Mattis also has a molly right even if Mattis goes down you just drop that there'd be round done
bombs always floated
That's yeah, you think about you drop an ancient right
One good one just chicken position list
Well, you just notice that
bombs flow yeah, well, how many times you drop in the bomb and water other than ancient esports and then that's that you probably not dropping it on the floor
or you're dropping on a teammate.
Yeah, you're right.
Okay, well that's a really nice round to win.
You can't argue with that one
and that mid-aggression from Hunter.
You think, okay, well, they can't get that rifle back.
This is gonna be tough,
but then Apex goes looking on his own.
He goes down.
It's a good trade, you can see how to win.
Ramsay is just adjusts against that, but this one.
Right, Apex on his own,
some of this no trade potential,
they can't really capitalize off the top of that.
So, not one of the deaths he's hoping to give away
as being gave it up.
James smoked that throat to find this vision
Hunter has managed to seize it this time
with a little bit more to learn with.
And once again straight out, but when that apex flash comes on from heavy god,
they've got a really nice little playbook here for CTO Greshens.
It's rockin' tough damage.
It's hard to use you fight for an A, they're down like that.
Yeah, punishes him.
I'm not something to tough some time on this T-Sug, can take two aggression.
The second time, right?
I'm supposed to go sideways for his comp players, the flashes come.
They try and catch you in the open.
It works again. I wouldn't be surprised if that's this year progresses. We have teams calling for a G2 on CT side. That's probably going to be copied and pasted by a few squads.
Oh my god, there's a one here. It's a party.
It's a party that's a G2 on DICI with Mattis and Heavy God War.
Double response.
And now...
I don't know. Push Mattis.
Oh no!
He's gonna be mad!
Let's go for Batsy worse, we missed a barren at the sideward in the clock.
I don't know, I don't really love a sideward clutch.
Get a while.
Safe and quick one, I'm so heavy got.
To this person, I can think trying to catch Mounds on the wall.
Up here's the Spongebob.
Oh, there's an Alpha Mounds!
Stons here's ground.
Yeah, Red, this situation didn't his eye work.
Just quicker to it was Mounds, alright?
One round game, now.
Time out, taking.
in. We've got 3.8 on Apex and 3.4 on Robbs, so that's the low end right now. Everybody else
can get what they desire for this buy, but think about the rounds that they won were
is a bit more direct, right? We saw the AXQ where they were slightly stalled out. You get yourself
into, oh, they actually ended up losing their rounds, didn't they? Were they heavy got double,
but then you get the Robbs death to Hunter, where they passed straight into B-main. This time
rounds not in a position to be able to respond as quickly and as a unit. So this is getting tough.
Just three rounds left in his half, lost bonus, one of the battle 4G2, 2400 into the next
of I-Tality.
So, not be enough to buy if they do end up losing a third consecutive, it's assuming
no saves.
Stay through this moment.
Yeah, it's all four.
He picks ready for some pious.
I can quite get vision and time.
Mounds is bouncing his chances, but he wouldn't swing it in his eye.
So smoke deployed.
It's going to buy some time.
He picks.
He doesn't want to be caught out by this act.
Ooh, he's naked.
It takes down Hum tough enough.
I think Tomfer you're loving a 5A pack,
sure.
of the deagle death earlier, but he had the tech 9 double, must get the account flowing.
Another one. Stunt G2's progressions on this CT side.
We're just dealing himself today and here's a wide opening, bomb size, apparently stands.
I was currently trained as well on this position. So if Mowb's does want to give it a look through him,
vote.
Oh, it's I will not put a way too early.
Disappear the potential for that and it's as you can consider another body in e-box.
Oh, quick adjustment.
Well, you know it's the A-defender last alive. You don't know that he's not on A.
And look at this from Zywe.
Oh, no, it's a well put together around.
There I double from OPEG since I would.
Peptal from OPEGs.
Two more rounds available, and I mean, a 6-6 sounds amazing.
Not looking particularly a list given to the finance.
No, that was a team ride, but these rounds they did slogging for.
They helped out with that lighter bibert.
Still, it's been tough on this CT side. They haven't been clean rounds even everybody lies.
So they are playing for five essentially, yeah.
They take just a partial right now, they'll full buy into round of a 12 coming up next.
Hey, man.
Push, you know.
Okay, Rob's Rob's is going to have a real tough time.
Can't seem to catch a break.
Now he gets the pressure, so now he gets to run into the five.
Seven, the pressure's a good, and the frags off too,
hunt to get to both down.
Hey, Pax, think he has to do it all.
Yeah, this is the unique to really does.
Pick it up the bomb looking to reroute that quickly.
and
the
group's upstaying the pack having to get these hands on his gun so
power numbers as hunter transitioning across to join his beat offensive
bad as suit.
As a USP and he's actually backing off as well.
Wow, so just calling the gamble.
I think at least this way they can push to and get the guns.
Sure.
Top they are.
Okay, we've got a numbers and we can trade out if they're not.
We can get these weapons that we can give this re-take a go.
Do we want to hold on to them?
I'm gonna be a pretty nice bit 5, 3, 2, 1, I say 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, that's pretty out.
Yunk.
I can't, you know.
Guns don't float, bombs do.
It's a bit of a difference.
Apex, can you rip this away there?
I'll close.
So close.
Why don't you want to let the choose you hear?
Didn't go around the corner.
Cool, that turned as well, a warning shot. What a gift.
And a nice and high kick down a nasty there goes the horse.
One more to go.
One more where that came from.
Hunter.
I'm going to punish him.
I'm just staring up courses.
Well, they made an awful lot of good luck.
They take all five denied any saves.
The partial investment though, of course, four kills this.
Just one enough.
Yeah, I think you look at the off there, right?
games, you also, with the litter of corpses,
which is having a tough time grabbing that,
but does get it, it does give it to Zywit,
and supplies has won as well.
So find around first half, that number three,
it's had some moments, you just have worked hard, right?
You think if they get the pistol,
they get the conversions there,
and then they get a couple of spotty rounds on top.
That's not bad, this is gonna be,
maybe path for the course, we're still seeing how
Nupe's is trending at the top end of Counter Strike.
Second day it's a good time out call by Saul.
Well, we covered the regarding the in spite of the loss of Romsonsai, we were the quickly pivot into a completely wide open bomb.
So yeah, they're gamble again, just for G2, on place wrong time, and then it losing everything at the end of it.
So if you're like it, you're the high was just the kickoff.
I mean, it does feel like almost all of the rounds in this tea time from vitality of coming,
I mean, you know, walking into a rather unguarded bomb site,
you know, I'm just mouths sitting there,
etc.
Yeah, rounds with an out of position fighting for water control,
and you're going to find that gap, the APX7, a great map.
14 kills, and important to that.
Oh, yeah, you're shooting by chance to leave.
I'm going to send you a handedly.
Okay, Rob's.
Excents his fate and takes a heavy-bron of damage from the
Which you grenade, there's good quiet as any one had set and pushed a lot, especially up towards
rugs and this is a slower roll.
I'd have to be really interested to see Robs' time flashed and how long is the screen
you might throw out this so far.
So I think supplies the pressure rebokes, that's going to keep some pires posted.
Yeah, the fact that there's no smoke, you draw out a couple of these smokes from the feed
defend this but now it's not as whole-bomb because supply is over there so it's that info in itself.
And he's mid to the path of least of his distance.
I'm gonna see some B-mate action as he's ready himself.
Is that you're gonna have some support as well on the bomb on 8 packs in there?
I'm ready.
Oh my god, I forgot to mount this.
Nice alpha from 8 packs in some out.
Wow.
Keeps things level.
Okay, you've only got 35 seconds and a smoke has just been thrown to block.
Yeah, there's footsteps running away from B maybe they identified that as Apex.
He's coming back now.
Gramps would love to get a circuit kill here.
Maybe you can't spot two minutes.
Gonna get clamped in.
Gonna get clamped in.
Yeah, he's going to be in trouble with boxed in.
Now they're hearing that.
That's so much a tough amount.
They're all coming to search for them.
Rops!
They want ropes.
It's pulled them out of a name, there's a lot of info, it labels them to just run to the site.
So the bomb will get floundered, good flash, good fire, come to catch his balls from the head and go,
oh, Simon brought down a double from Hunter, and he said this can end dude.
It's got a run, it's back and it's one thing to say.
Yeah, not fun if you say, except you're fate, there's nothing you can do here.
Rob's getting his second frag, but he's absolutely nothing.
Solid output from Hunter, crazy couple of rounds.
Yeah, you think in that moment with everybody chasing Rob's to make sure that lurk can't come into play around,
going to be down, but they're going to laugh about that. You know, they're so disconnected,
we flushed them all the way back, we win the round by virtue of him just running away.
So that is, I just want to snatch away to get the first and the last rounds of that first half,
and it kicked off with a matters ace on the pistol. Then we got five of the kills since then,
and the team couldn't even make good on the impact of his pistol ace. So that does
feel a bit rough, but with the score on where it's at, this is still obtainable right now for
due to. Can they kick off their clues campaign? They're not upset against the number once.
Gee, see how the top time once they've made it into the arena in crack off, blown up.
Pretty uninspiring fashion. And it's going to be just getting to the playoffs again.
Getting their feet wet.
If I tell you the question is how hard will this journey be?
up before likes of Navi, Fort Mouses, Fays, Falcons, they have a one there opening
gamets.
Vitality joined that, Mongolsverse paying live, one of those to be in the next nefuria versus
bait.
G-H-F-H-F from Flames, he's a not G-L-H-F, but it's good half friends, half
fun.
I think you might be wondering.
It's a new one.
Everyone's saying it.
It's a little catch on the trends though. It's really going to catch on everyone's going to start getting hairstyles
It's looking destined to be an A play there, but dropping out of rug is taking the fight towards e-box
They're heading back three man set up. What's the plan here? So Rob's please like he's alone
It's an extinguish that's ready, but there's no molly
Could quickly become a blocks moke
So Rob's, I feel like he has to commit once contact stake in, and then Apex hopefully
profits.
Yeah, I hope to get to a couple of banks turned.
Just onto smoke.
No.
I'm watching it down a bit, Twins.
He's got nothing.
He's set up broken soon.
Get your team running to the wall.
No!
I already have a bullet left.
Nails one.
Still not enough.
Instufficient.
This is in the clutch.
Could get caught with Bat turned if he's not careful.
What a little bit of a blind spot.
Now they know.
That was Twins.
Double Swing.
Some pies ready for this one.
Matt is to provide some support.
I got the shot, wait for this game.
He took that, they didn't know time.
Get even the couple of chances.
But I relieved heavy guard after that pistol.
That's both pistols.
Yeah.
Surely this is the recipe right now
to take down Vitality to kick off the campaign.
Big smile on the coach.
He's going to be a force.
I don't know what Vitality is going to do.
They did it once.
Yeah, but the CT side of this map, it's going to be tough.
This is where we get to see Vitality of the gimmicks that they've got there.
You can see the logic in the CT setup,
but due to the shoe and really hard.
As always, the prize with the Vitality pistol,
it's going to be a ride for kick.
The Olympics was tough in the water age
and gets a lot of things.
They're safety-side pistol.
Well, this is a very important second round
of investment from Vitality.
If they want to stay put in reach,
we'll do it together, but a room to breathe
on this T-site start.
I'm playing behind the fad risk sheet from Apex, but I think given, I'll be on the map control
baskets with the support of St. Pius.
That's has another smoke. We're sub one minute now.
He's getting immediately deployed. We're going to turn toward out.
Well, they still have one on AMB, and this is pretty good with 50 seconds left.
So, the time is going to become a bit of an issue.
G2, kind of what going through gray screens.
That's going to come down for the final 20 seconds.
That's a start-up place in the pressure.
Ooh!
Beautiful.
A little laser beam to the face of apex.
I'm going, eh?
On this side open.
Flate the jump out.
We've done nearly how the second their mouths is just on a way.
We're also going to be here in time when it's going to be tough.
Diggle though, it's just not that much.
It's not that much.
It doesn't even get to pull the trigger.
The MP7 arrange.
No, cut some down quick.
Tinkin' dead.
I mean, couple of ways they could have thought kicked up a sting.
They've done these a few times G2.
They really don't want by time
to feel comfortable in their stacks of their positions.
They've done, you go back again, Mirage.
A few fakes that they threw into the mix there.
And they're doing it again right now.
So keep in touch, I'll be guessing.
And Saga will take down Mata.
So that's like a little brought into the next.
What's if it's allowed, you can see starting to spring to action already was heavy
got on the MP7.
I think over the woods, CT spawn is the other two of them.
I mean, it's such a gift as well when you've got someone like Mattis, you can just be lurking
and get you one.
It's such a fragile approach though because if the fake gets nothing, and then
vitality is still in that two on two, and at least with a couple of numbers, sure you don't have the weapons required.
required but again a little fake you move there from G2. Keeping vitality's calm
is flowing, keeping them guessing. Is that going to be the way in? It's only going
to be one hell of a feather to Hunter's cap if he can convert it here. Being the guy
that can, call his team to be the world number one. Don't know, once in London.
Yeah, that's the final first time you do it last year. Oh, now it's a new year. Could have
to be the same story.
This one might be more direct.
Now let's face it, still some threats to deal with.
I've got a piss as across the board.
And that galilin the mix is I would
can't find himself in my place.
This certainly does seem a bit more cut and dry
doesn't it?
Yeah, be execute, okay.
Maybe the smoke has to be flashed off, either.
Yeah, it's far, it's broader.
Force forward by the flame.
I'm some kind of perfect one of three times.
I'm the best at the action.
It's a name of all around the site.
Let's bring off this flashback break.
It's the tip in real opportunity.
Happy knowledge inflicted maps on the retreat on the back foot.
Look at that.
Look at that play.
Look at this position right now.
There is no way back.
Oh, you're right.
There is no way back.
Up there, lost the initial exchange right there.
They hung around for way too long.
They get the eight-makes kill.
Heavy, sorry.
Hunts and goes down coming connector.
Yeah, and at that point they didn't call it off so now they're essentially stuck with this beef finish
It doesn't feel good does it for G2
Just a couple of pistol upgrades and a safe galelle
So I was joined Robster to deal with the escape route, but he's out of position now. Okay, as he's got to try and get one here with mounds on low HP
It would be crazy if he doesn't kill him as he needs this oh
Oh, now, still the world!
Yeah, boy!
Do it just in time!
James, you will finish off the job.
You can see how excited he thinks
to see that one converted.
Wow.
I mean, that is a bit of a dialogue shift up.
I think that also shows you that this isn't just a game
where they're coming in, thinking it's fine.
It's Swiss.
Three in your throw if we lose one, there's plenty more opportunities.
You want to keep it clean, right?
You don't want to get anybody confidence you best you could see, isn't?
You don't have to show any forms of great time.
I don't know. You want three days playing and take it there up.
I'm too too late to call the cast live that moment.
Yeah, I didn't catch your breath.
Physician did steal the deal.
It's basically the boost.
He is bringing it off the bench.
Look at the beat bush.
He's already all the way. He's going to roll this.
What a scream!
Well, that's a lot of answers.
They want to fight him through this.
Perfect flash.
He picks up our lifeless.
Two longer than four to flash from Mattis.
They're able some pious, and now look at this gap.
Oh, I was going to be there attending to the possibility.
Just as he looks away.
Probably half of that A-B in the sounds,
and able them to do his best work here on the CT side.
Thanks, Chandler. Smoke's there in middle.
So right now, it's going to be this M4, the A-K,
and the D-Gle for the finish into a B-split.
So on the site,
There's your long side of flames rotating over. They're ahead of this.
All the riot bodies in all the riot places.
This one bottoms up the bank balance against you too.
to do something from some fires and that's just pissed off, can't stop.
Alright, well not only have you got to apex firing, some great impact in that first
time to get in Zyru and Flamesy joining now.
I think that's why Zyru apex kind of june up the boys, especially those names, you name
drops, says thank you for joining me at the top of the tables, can't do it on his own,
despite doing so in that first half.
But I thought it was just pushy,
but that's so quick when you look at it immediately
just because it started in the beginning of the game.
He named it's one of these things right away.
People should be audacity on the B-man point.
That's insulated, I'm only it.
Since very unlikely that someone's just going to waltz on through,
but we saw Mattas doing the first time for flash of beep off.
How do you do this?
Is that too to pop it up alongside a Bezzy?
I think we're just going to go that way.
It's a Bezzy.
Oh, shit.
It's going close to the 20-fragile.
I'll see now with the AK in hand if maps is able to keep up that form we saw from maps 1 and 2.
Hmm, is the round time line to show how it's all gone down?
Rock the bookies have really lost faith and you do have.
I think with both pistols, and you've lost two low by rounds with those pistols.
One year that sure you lose against the 4 second round first half of this one.
You let him take an AK, sorry, like a little into the next time's eye work.
You don't think it's gonna have that much of a ramification.
But you know, our first look at Vitality's a new bit since the changes.
This is something else that's quite key.
There are only a handful of events remaining before we get the card off April 6th,
and that's gonna be determining who's gonna be playing the major and where.
You want to be in Stage 3 if you get some of these bigger names,
But you might have to set up the Sage to a stage one.
Now I think we know Vitality will be locked and loaded.
But after this you've got EPL and then you've got Rotterdam.
Now Vitality, they will not be at EPL.
I don't think G2 made the cut up a Rotterdam either.
So it's an important result.
This is going to be a big scout to take if you were G2 as far as the RS is concerned.
Now you have a rifle round without all the bells or whistles.
I'm gonna be late on the head surprise for a right down beautiful double H2B so the number
is on no counted. It's just messy on B one mid three eight.
I see try to look as big as possible.
Come through this, now just playing the fade, flames in robes, fatty of their chances
in his head to head and he got's on the air.
Just looks away.
Oh, come on!
Just come back!
Great to finish the job the natives from robes had started, but after last looks good,
robes, ooh, it turns it!
Beautiful, quick to it!
Now, come on!
Yeah, run down by Hunter!
Ports and clawback trade!
He's got it, did he catch a whiff?
Our V-Pax is missed, throwing the flashbang, Apex ready to stand and deliver.
So we've heard by Malp, he still has the better reactions there.
Right, they're quickly back through canal.
Oh, they were thinking about it.
Oh, but it's a foul.
The mouths death has really made that pivot film impossible.
Well, Apex doesn't have to play the info. He could just play for Plant and I'll.
So he could just, yeah, type heaven right now,
the guy and then he can deny one, or maybe even the planter, time is on his side.
10 seconds, boys.
I was hunting to smoke the bomb maybe?
No.
Yeah, it's all tick for Matt, he's what a fring!
With a second to spare, the bomb goes down into one, too.
Let's fight double-pud, look it just, two or extra handle hunter commoses.
Massive impact, G2, finally, get themselves at sea round.
Hard clear there from Madness. That was integral without that. It breaks as going to feast upon the pistol actually
So okay, okay Madness
Very important work from him and that's going to keep the conversation open for G2
Well, now's we're down to a Mac 10 a galil in for the likes of heavy god and Madness is gonna be a case of answers
Supplies to wield on the other side. So it brings out the orb
It's that was in the right place, they were so jarring and going to the U-TIL, found a good timing,
got enough.
Under turn by the previous knee damage, some pass goes straight back to containing a main.
And they don't want anything to do with the hull, they're not, you know, peaking, they're not trying to take the fight, they're not pushing anybody out,
they're just playing it as if it's the older nuper's essentially.
mid-util to enable this Hunter and Malbs do are working mid.
That's a camera spoke inside his temple.
We're all trained on middle of this chapter five catches one removes Malbs in immediate
reposition.
I hope you go in front of me, but I should blind the ears, but I'll hold out for the camera
cross.
The now is the road at the Mach-way route to join this A-Defense but it all could be a
It's a three-in-a-ay site again.
He takes blocking E-box and as he flirting still a temple just in case.
It's a trap-gabs, but it is the correct assumption once more 40 seconds.
No, going to be easy.
So I will be peeking in.
Half the moment, but hasn't hit the shot onto Hunter.
Yes, Stunner to this one. He's actually trying to bring that
I'm going to get the impact, be still walking.
Run, run!
So audacious, they just double-swing.
Thank you, Spy.
Oh, nice to have him.
Have you got you out?
That's messy.
Maybe Rob's could use something better.
Too easy.
One point.
He got her right now.
I'm going to sit at 2-1-2.
Slow-toes, smoothly.
He'd be busy catching some pipe on the jump button.
Messy from Messy unable to provide the headshot with fire.
Don't saw the second time.
Have you got in this corner hoping to be overlooked?
Probably even a flash for him.
to the flash for him.
The double threat has been seen.
It's good enough.
He pecks the levels around 11.
Still cumbersome though.
Wasn't it right there?
There's kills coming at one at a time.
Flames he goes down and robs swings out.
He's disconnected from his team mates.
Not waiting for that rotation to come through.
I love the stubborn mid-fight.
Oh, yeah.
Well, he knows bases coming through.
I was not leaving his boy hanging.
Yeah.
I mean, but with the op, it's such an easy excuse.
Yeah.
Sorry mate. I don't know what chance. I would still a team player. Well, that plan actually helps them out. It was only 1900 to this next one
Plus what they have left plus for six hundred. So
Look, it's not pretty, but better than it could have been
It has now for vitality
2400 into the next.
So, be even less.
What you're seeing right now for G2, if they cannot battle back into this one.
Through the smoky middle, taking a massive risk.
Let's be on the other side.
Look at the space.
Okay, trying to watch your reaction. That smoke is flashing. Go.
You get the pipe. That's right. Rob doesn't get it.
It seems he did some way. It's still the opening kill once more.
But be main.
Mm-hmm.
There's a lot to worry about.
Perfectly timed block.
Just as they were setting up to go to surprise break.
Yeah, thanks.
So yeah, looks like Matt is going to flash and go as well.
When again, as he's got his attention drawn elsewhere, Matt is spotted on the pillar.
He picks in support as well.
More.
What do you see?
He's got a bit wide, as you go.
Shot in the hole.
Got his two and he picked up the giant top.
Just some pious.
He's gone through it.
Lovely stuff for the vitality defense.
Nimble, roaming constantly taking these fights on their own terms, but you can see exactly what they've discussed in a theory there because as soon as mid-presence has given over and claims that you're there coming the flash comes from a
immediately, right? It's just it's just a media. There's not even a set
But if you think you're too if you get a
Smoosh, it's going to take them above me, please the scanner. Let's be ahead of the time
You know you're out of the door in the open. That's exactly what they want
So byality looking at bounds back from the inferno loss
Show them they can't play
You are doing this without
We do play Valkyrie
Acting like it's new and new
I'll play this
Finally take it a look
There we go
The mid-earth
This absence of the window
And he was playing like this
Hello
Now I'm on the back
You're ready for this
Flash comes
Damn
Instant headshot
A precision from flamesy
And that was the bomb
Back to back over this
And as you at the back of the site
Making it look all too casual
Oh that's even DZ
Oh no
Well, I'll tell you damage was done around was what yes
No, I don't even put this genie back in the bottle
I'll supply us with the tech nine and I'll be five to keep them alive. I think we'll
Well, it's one dumb like a dog's dinner
I think that's the second half of play vitality. Keeping it up, keeping the pursuit of a clean
3-0 run through the Swiss.
Now, give it a recap of the series. So, if I was 13 to 11 on my ride, what could have been
for G2? And we're going to go back to the hotel tonight feeling that that one slipped through
the fingers. In front of it was the turf on vitality. Wasn't the harshest punish to
desk though that could have been of overpass and that losing 13 to 8 but here on a
new bus, they've styled on them.
The boys.
Yes, once again, Chad, we've scooped the thoughts out of my gully brain.
This is one of the G2 we're going to be kicking themselves about.
On every map, they were in this.
Could have had a 2-0.
No biggie.
We went there in my pet.
We beat by telling you on inferno.
We go to a new bus.
Had their chances on this as well.
What a nightness, everything that we got.
Think you definitely see the two faces of G2, right?
Like, when they play a mostly clean game,
like they did on inferno, it can look pretty good,
but when it's messy, when they make some basic mistakes,
when they fumble some of these anti-coronals
or rounds against low-bies, I mean,
then it can get pretty grim pretty fast.
Yeah, that's the notion as well,
and I think you're right.
It's kind of like a miso of a churnier.
I think a new piece, yes, as per the scoreboard,
and then, you know, the beginning of second half
is well, you'd argue that it wasn't game,
but you could see it by utility,
take control of the game, you could see them walk away
with a breath of comfortable winning and the third deciding map.
If anything, I think G2 is sad about what happened on Mirage.
There was a couple of moments in that game
where they probably should have pulling to out.
They should have won that map.
They should have gone for the 201.
I think that's something by utility realizes as well.
But we got a way, we were a bit of a murder.
On that one of them, they got exactly what they wanted
on a new mission.
They played a good map of council.
What's going on?
over the handshakes where the high fire they're like on different sides of the building
I think I think they're waiting for it. I mean, never just confused
this real record. Where's all the love coming? But I mean, on this point while we've got them on
camera, I mean, this is the market of a champion, you know, with Vitality, they've turned up
today, not played particularly well. I would argue not vetoed in an optimal fashion again.
Well, no, no, yeah, I was like the area to replaying around, like everyone's still sort of half
flopped in. No, but I think, you know, I might even message
J-Plex about it just to ask and like, did you try like to practice
map? So I would say it's not like they obviously did it for a reason.
The way they did, and also I mean, you need to be honest, that
vitality off of the back of two tournaments and tournament
and, you know, they're not going to be at 100% focus for the
opening game of the Swiss stage even though it's against G2, right?
So for them to get to win, is definitely a great time, right?
Also one more time getting it down on a nudist.
Yeah, and look, I think as well, my problem I just have with G2
is I've seen them do this a lot now, whether in series,
and people pop off like mouths, it should be on the winning team,
but they realistically, you know what I mean?
He should be saying, yeah, you've got to shake your hands, perhaps, you know?
But it's not happening and I've seen this happen time of time again with you too, they just they get close and then
one or two mistakes and key rounds and it's just all over.
And they sound harsh, you know, but when I look at the lineup and when I look at the material they have to work with, you know,
I kind of feel like they're in the spot where I would expect them to be at, you know, I don't think
key two is a team that I have, you know, in my top five, you know, considerations in terms of what they got to work with.
But yeah, there's some 10-in-place in there.
But you have Hunter being a relative in New England
game leader, Garaga like Melbsu has been struggling
as of late, you know, great game today as well.
Matt is how good he is.
He really, you know, is he real deal?
Is he good enough to be part of a stable time fight?
You must still have a lot of question marks and regards to that.
So I've got an update for you.
OK.
They're actually looking at something.
They think they might have been a game crash in that last round.
So yeah, they're trying to fact it like, I know what I can get.
So for everyone, because there was all smiles.
You know, there's no reason they wouldn't shake hands, there's no thing
Fishy happening in the game, but yeah, okay, we'll wait and see I wouldn't be chasing it that easy
I was just hearing something over there like, oh, there's no whole blood sweep play. We'll beat you again
He's not smart, but yeah, I think for G to it's important that we have the facts
Ah, he's buck's office, isn't he?
You got a lot of them.
But I was going to say about G2, right?
That we remember the G2 is a team that lost almost exclusively
to top five teams, right?
Like the teams that are above them, to contend their status teams.
And now, obviously, eventually, if you want to get into that conversation,
you're going to have to start beating those teams.
That's why I think Krakow was a step in the right direction.
For them, it's clear that at this moment, they don't necessarily have.
It's always a good idea to stop talking.
Yeah, I got one of you.
It's time to hear about eight of the times about the go.
Yeah, he's going to go.
I'd say he doesn't want to miss his team.
Look at the game.
Yeah, well.
He posted something.
He's on camera.
Oh, no.
He doesn't care.
But look, obviously this is a situation where
If there was a crash and it's within the rules, I wouldn't blame G2, if you're taking a run back.
Yeah, like, why not surrender?
Yeah, of course, I mean, why would you?
Well, I just, it's my relatively lost even though a guy crashed, like at the start of
round. No, of course you should replay it. Of course you should push for it.
No, that's not.
Even if big, big, Danny Apex is gonna come over there with his guns.
So, better than sorry, Enco.
No, I mean, it was just the point, like G2, their next step is to figure out the way,
how do we let's not even put my talent in the conversation.
Let's put Mao's Falcons, Furia,
like some of these other things, spirit,
which they played a couple of them in Krakow and couldn't get the
events. So that's like the next step for them.
Beating some of those teams, getting to play off consistently,
I think it'd be a huge disappointment if they don't make the playoffs here.
Includes, I think that's a minimum for them.
I'm fairly certain they would agree with that.
Sentiment, and then you get a bigger sample size.
All right, now in that setting, where we at is some players missing,
what's lacking and do we need to upgrade more?
Here's a question for both of you, then you can jump on it,
whether once it, what point does hunt a need to be the finished
article?
So in the sense that we say, oh, he's done now, every game,
every series, we say, oh, he's a new IGL, he's learning some,
when does that end?
I mean, I'd say by some, I think he's had enough time to like sort of create his identity,
but I think he's doing a good job, you know, already, I think he's not necessarily a finished product,
and I think in terms of being an in-game reader, I don't think anyone really is a finished product.
Yeah, you can say apex and care again obviously have their ways of doing it, but it's a game that is over time constantly changing.
So in that regard, technically never, I will say though, that I think humblest, you know, a good job.
I don't think he's the issue, I don't think you can put much of the blame on him.
is the certain things you can get better, you know, is the certain experiences that he would benefit from, you know, going into the play of more often, sure.
I think when you look at the play of material he has to work with, he's also limited in how much he can get out of it.
I think after this season, Hunter himself and G2 will know enough about, is this the solution long term for us, right?
right, or should we maybe do a 180 like twisted with liquid, like devised it with a
strawless and you can directly link it in some of these other players that went back to their
sort of just playing secondary collar sort of a role and it was better of I believe that he has
the chops to be a good ideal just also his temperament, his personality, the sort of a guy he is
And we'll see about the on-server performance in a way.
I didn't say it's stuck value as well.
You know, if you're creating gaming the nowadays,
like you can join some of the best teams in the world.
You can be relevant at their highest degree,
no offense against Hunter, but as an individual player,
he was stanked to drop off a little bit from his peak.
So wasn't that because he was doing more and more of a,
because I felt like any time I clicked on HLT,
I was like it didn't review.
Hunter starts calling CT sites.
Hunter starts calling mid-round.
Pones are starting to call like everything. Why do we not have him as the IGL?
Pones is IGL and it's like, as that's happening, yeah, he starts with them.
Yeah, that's true. Meddek could be part of the reason.
That could be part of the case as well. I also do think Honda as a player, obviously has been
around for such a long time and has family commitments. You name it, you see, I kind of
increase an individual output from time to time. So in terms of, I guess,
men into your own character. If you can make it way, you can make it way, you can make it way, you're going to have to be great.
So hang on, what we're getting?
Let's get it.
We're getting an audio update here.
Down in the cell, on the ground.
I've been told they're still looking at it.
They're still reviewing this.
No.
I'm getting to read.
Must be like there or something.
Yeah, and now he can't.
No one looks forward to like that.
That guy does. He's probably that psychol.
We're lucky.
People.
I don't even have news about this.
I don't know why it's all smiles.
Coach, shake some hands.
Yeah, let's shake some hands and let's start wrapping this up.
It's up to the winners to go.
That's why I was like, why is my talent?
Yeah, I can get G2.
The winners come to you.
Maybe they're expecting them to go over them now.
You know, big contentious.
Yeah, to finish a little bit and the whole G2 project.
I think that the one slightly, I mean,
not concerning, but something that you can bring up
is the fact that Hunter is a play,
he likes to go for plays, he likes to be a playmaker,
and the team needs it, you just also are thinking long-term,
usually the inhibitors are a bit more sacrificial.
It that the part to intend, the other thing is,
what I'm seeing with still a bit too much of their game
is set to my liking, I feel like if you're going to be
contender team and why for that top spot really now they're looking into it as well.
Yeah, you're so in it.
I'm not making it up.
I'm not making it up.
We're not trying to f-u.
Yeah, I just want to have to play a lot of default because for you to be right from
free time with these reads often enough to win a tournament or a consistent basis, it's
really hard.
That's why like even ends wasn't able to do it.
It's not a fair comparison.
because you two have better players but still and obviously these are some
topics for a bit more in the future for them but we'll have to wait and see.
And now after all of that we can talk about it in a bit, right?
I'm probably not as much as we had planned, but what do we feel about how we
went for both of these teams, given it is a relatively new addition?
I mean it was a competitive game, we should see by the end of this
goal-on as well, but I think about it, we took a better thing to let one hand
some under CT side, one a couple of few rounds and then ran away with it again.
a couple of rounds growing the way of G2 made the conversation more
different, but you don't see, I feel like from the body language
especially Apex, from the one the first bar round on the CT side.
He was celebrating that as if they won the game almost.
So he knew that was the moment in the game where they had to check in.
As the anchor you said, doing that one on Mirage, that's the beautiful thing
about what's on it. They can win an every possible fashion that you can
present in Counter Strike, whether it's a close game, whether it's a long game,
whether it's a direct out game, constantly stay, they have it in their
in there in maturity to get the job done. Even with apex leading the way in terms of
fracking 11 years after his win here in Closen, I mean, that's going to be
that's true. Rob's 17, 80 hour over the course of an whist. Well, yeah. I mean, who knows,
who knows, but maybe I didn't feel it. He's not doing anything, but if apex is ripping off heads,
you don't, you know, much to do, do you? I was going to say, I mean, there's probably some
a younger viewers that don't remember apex to play it, they only really know apex, the
IGL, but I mean he was a phenom in his particular role, a pioneering entry fragger, I mean
just unplayable on his day. And his longevity is amazing, because I am going to say it
right now. As an IGL, it's still one of the better fraggers out there for real.
I've said it once and I'll heavily say it again, I think apex is the greatest transition
there's ever been an encounter strike.
To go from being what I have back then described as a potato
of a player, running around with anything.
No, I'm always, no, but actually,
front against the hardest role.
You call it the potato.
What role did you play in our honesty?
I think you would even agree to to some extent, you know,
he was, he was a player that would always overxtend.
He was a hard one.
You don't tell him about now, he's all poor.
We had the conversation before and that's where you
want to compliment him, you know, for him to make that
transition for him to mature as a player over all these years
from I grew up with him, you know, I played with him.
I played against him.
I played on team with him even, you know,
like with overdrive in the days.
And he was always a little extended.
You were making a lot of mistakes.
And he's just every year mature, gotten better,
thought about how he could be more impactful
and then transition into becoming, as you said,
maybe the greatest thing in the year that we have to
to offer right now to make that transition.
I can't think of any player who's done more
in terms of making a wild transition from one world to another
where it wasn't really written in the start to be asked.
Just a quick question on that, then.
Obviously, we know the pantheon of great IGLs, right?
We talk about Glaive, we talk about Karagermi,
we talk about Fallen, Pro-Nex as well,
I always think he's faster than I've started.
Listen, I love that for Mac team, whatever.
But where is Apex now?
I mean, he made a great case to be up there, you know,
with all this access you're having in my cell phone.
The greatest potato of all time.
Yeah, well, not anymore, you know,
so they'll probably be kicked out.
I think in all honesty, I think he's entering that conversation.
You can put him next to, to play,
you can put them next to Karegan, and you can make the case now for Abix to be at least in the conversation.
I think once he retires, he will be the greatest at that point, in time I don't think it will be at the debate.
Or discussion at that point in time, I think we'll see, you know, down the line what's going on is the good old, like,
yeah, but he said, Zyru for the entirety of his idea. I'd yell and career, but all the greats want to have something,
you know, Tom Brady had Bill Beller check. Well, yeah, yeah, all of that stuff, so we'll see,
But it's hard to see him stopping anytime soon with a team like this. He seems hungry, you know, that's the thing. He seems like he's the most hungry player
That's the thing. He has enough motivation for all of the like I always sold the jacket
There's like, you know, like he just shows up in games
But Dan is like instilling in him all the chips on his shoulder from back in the day, right?
So he's making care by proxy and that's really important
But a team is so successful to find ways to stay motivated and stay hungry. Yeah, do you want to take a look about round?
I do just because it's like we're talking about the new bits and different ways these teams
would get created how G2 could be one of these teams and they showcase this multiple gun rounds,
right? Like Hunter jumping through the window flashes coming from behind, look where he's finding
ropes. I mean, if Rob did indeed have that miserable game, Hunter is a good reason for it. And in this
case, you know, after that G2 still really aggressive made the sort of bump head into
to mortality in that area of the map, and again,
are able to mop up.
So that, this is like a set round from G2,
conscious going down the window.
The B players are both in the connector.
Like there are aggressings with that side of the map,
and they're completely sort of trying to shut that down.
There was even a player down,
T-S, around T-Stairs,
they've got blinded, they jumped into the smoke,
Hunter sees him, and he just books it to fine drops.
Like he doesn't even care about him.
And that's the second time he kills the rock
from that aggressive play.
he wasn't having a good day today.
A final thought for New Jackup.
Good game of counter strike, you know,
and I think that,
yeah, well, it started a bit rough, you know,
and Mirash was ugly.
I think in front of was quality from G2 played at a high level.
I think, and Newbis was quality for my telly.
So they made up for it.
And, you know, kind of as we expected,
I've had telly that is not in the full strength
and in group stages.
We used to see energy, too,
that can punch above their weight from time to time,
but as Yanko described it, you know,
having a tough time being the best of the world.
All right, thanks, gentlemen.
quick break when we come back about how can this series even pop that one we'll see
but it is going to be furious as bait make sure you join us.
Let's go now!
Play your ball, one expect, two minutes.
The human body was built to move.
Not crowded a test in one singular posture for 12 hours a day.
It's time, your shape evolved.
This is Secret Laptide Pomever.
The genomic and genomic for you.
Genomic, hybrid weapons, arts, the Indian, every move.
You're gonna stop!
Are you ready?
Get out of my way!
Yeah, it's welcome back to PGL Cluj and Apoca last series of the day, as I said before,
It's going to have to work very hard to beat the one we just watched, but anything is possible.
Fury of Versus Bait, let's start by talking about Fury, for me they would be other guys
of 2025, had a great time of it down the back nine, so to speak, of the year, and for me
it did something that hadn't happened for a while, it made me start thinking about where fall
and is in the all-time great rankings again, because probably Pinole a little bit quiet,
But his longevity is insane and to be winning trophies in 2025 after everything he's accomplished,
just what a cool story that he's been able to activate this group of players.
I mean speaking of transitions, not only is he doing it as an in-game leader, but he transition from
an AWP player into a rifle. I think to me that was the biggest surprise.
Yeah, obviously you know a bit of an idol Yankee in terms of his leadership qualities and
what he offers on the server, how calm, how composed he is, his work ethic seems to be great as
world but from me from an outside perspective going from being an all player for what
12 15 years transitioning into a rifle and arguably the most competitive error of
years ago or so they see it's too wrifing and still remains somewhat relevant, you know,
having a decent output on the server. I did not see that coming out. Well, I think that's very
impressive. It's hard, you know, just ask KDN. Well, there's a lot of failed ones in that one.
Yeah, that's the funniest thing. He's still doing work on the rifle for an
episode. I think he just shows what he's capable of as a leader when he has the right pieces
around him and that his philosophy for Counter Strike, you know, wasn't wrong at any
point in time and if anything he maybe has conceived it too much throughout the people in
the past when it comes to that because he is that sort of a guy that just wants to sort of
make everyone happy. But he's the Kay Yankeh. He has like he saw something that none of us saw.
I remember the announcement of when Molotoy was joining the team and it was fallen to give up
the all two young Kazakhstan, you know, rookie and I just went, they're giving up, they're
giving up.
I really, I was not really, I know they love me.
The thing that made you believe last is that they got yakin darin addition to that, you
know, they got them and his stock was at its lowest and it really has been, has been
rejuvenating for yakin daris career.
Moldo obviously being the revelation rookie of the year.
He's just box office where he's on the server, has that pop off potential and just so much fun to watch
Yeah, I mean, you know, obviously we were there in a sauna where I mean it must have been like, you know, Christmas day
You know, like, local crowd chanting your name had a decent run big performances
It's stuff up there on the stage especially for young players and he struggled a little bit with that
But I think now we're starting to see him emerge, you know, it's not gonna get carved out of wood a little bit
stop them up for those big tournaments. Yeah for Sheriffman he gets to go back to
a stand I hope for the end and really that whole experience you know as one of the
favorites as well laid on in the season for now though to have to get past bait and
yeah I think in that regard you know we're looking at a matchup that is very
unfailing match. We're talking about for who I think to many is currently the next
best to my telly and date while they have been making waves you know at certain
points in the season while they've been doing a good job of qualifying for the
mate just etc etc. I think they lost five out of the last six games they played
they lose to teams that you think on paper that they should be able to beat if they want to continue to progress.
So I got to be careful with what I say about bait, not to be laid out.
I can possibly be at my job, but I've had a lot of faith in them progress up and down, Jake.
Yeah, we're all these four double downers.
Yeah, we're never, never, never, never, never.
I kind of have to because I think they shown they could be a competitive team, but beating for them back.
Let alone getting into the players.
Say what you're meant to be honest.
They suck.
No, they listen.
The thing that's most puzzling about it is this whole head-trick situation at this time.
Yeah, right.
It's like, you're not benched, but we are trying out other people.
It's like basically, if we can find anyone who we think is...
I'm not trying to...
I'm not trying to...
What the hell is that?
What's that?
I'm not trying to...
What's so evident at the role will bench you.
But if not just in case, you'll, you know, get to stick around.
then they got several cover for Cracko.
He was appalling, you know, now they're getting
CZN right from Spirit Academy.
We'll see how that goes.
I mean, it's another talk about Rookie,
right in completely unproven player.
And, you know, as we see the maps rolling,
this is where it gets even worse from.
Bate, if you didn't pay enough of a picture by now,
because ancient is their best and most played map.
That's furious.
Permaband, they'll have to take it somewhere else.
And I'm a Irish player.
I would say, wow, this is great if it were like two weeks ago
at the start of Krakow because it was a glaring weakness for Furia,
but it turned into a strength while the tournament
where they, you know, won the last three or four,
they picked against fatality in the final managed to win that
in a nail biter, also bit Navi, a very good morality.
As if in credit, what credit does it do?
You know, Beton and Feria have played a couple of times.
Both times Feria won two, two, one, and both times
the only met that Betweb, which win was Mirage.
So they kind of have to go there, but I think we said,
I feel like the landscape have changed not only for bait
and the structure of the lineup, but also for furrier.
So in terms of winning the video or going anywhere,
you know, surprising, not really going to happen here.
And Furno coming in for furrier, not too big of a surprise.
No risking and no business, no gambling whatsoever.
And that we got, no new, we get a pretty decent map pool.
And I guess if you get to finish off on dust
to a new furrier, you're going to be just happy about that.
Yeah, I couldn't agree more.
I mean, like I think it was always going to be hard for bait.
we've seen them have trouble on multiple months.
Is that footage from before as Vitality still in their seats?
Did you get them, Emily?
Yeah, but you know, we've seen baits for the ones
like multiple maps really, you know, we've seen them pick maps
and like really have a bad time on it as well.
And it kind of felt that the team was still evolving,
still trying to find out what it strengths actually were.
But that's the part of thing for me,
because I don't think bait is a better team
word that seemed before was really discussed, you know, the whole thing with Hedgehog
and then making change. I think they were doing okay, considering what they had to
work with. So I'm not sure if it was necessary for them to get into this mess. It's
sort of like a self-created situation that kind of have made me fall in the category that
I don't really care about the lineup as a writer. It tells you where bait is at the moment in
this matchup that the fact that they didn't even ban their perm of that. And there was
their perm of that in his nuke. And they let it go through sort of felt like they had to get
overpass out of the picture. Fury, I probably thinking like whatever, we can still pick
it for no we don't need to go for this punish, they let it through. I don't necessarily mind
that. I guess they probably didn't see it whatsoever in prep. And then when you haven't
thought about it, like 0%, maybe you feel like you're just so much so far ahead of bait where
you don't need to go into that unknown territory and you prefer inferno where you've done
you know, the positions that they play and how they like to approach the map. But I was like a big
gamble from bait when it comes to the beat. So I've got some good news. You probably picked up on it. We got a
bit of extra time. It's not by fury or doing some TP up there. I'm expecting big things. The problem is,
of course, they're not all Brazilians. Oh, there it is. There we go. Yeah, let's see. The
the holidays until you're talking, you're going to get a touch.
Here's just a namebot, true.
But anyway, so while they're doing that,
we've definitely got to come to talk about it.
I mean, talk about your kinder.
I think actually fallen biggest achievement in the team's area.
It's not necessarily discovering an air quote to Moldoian act,
but you hear him, and giving him the all.
That's all spectacular stuff.
It was resurrecting your kinder as Korea.
But here's the thing also, like, it really feels like a match made in heaven to some extent.
because if there's something that fallen necessarily isn't like he isn't mega assertive
and he definitely doesn't have an ego. Like he will listen to a good idea and
he sometimes if he doesn't have the flow in terms of calling and let's say he keeps
their steps in and he has he'll just let him call. Right, there's been halves of games where
the Kinder has done more falling than fallen has done earlier in the come. Even at free time,
right? So and the Kinder also feel to be at his best sort of needs that. He needs when
He's feeling it to be able to have that space in that control and then he's in the zone for someone to just let him roll with it
Right like he obviously tried being primary IGL didn't work it's too much to do it all the time
But to do it like at certain times and and be able to write that momentum is definitely
We had that clip doing his crackout against vitality and he literally said like guys
I am in their head they play exactly like this. You don't need to do anything except what I say and like you didn't hear from them
the background going, hang on a minute.
So I'm going, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You think you are, you know, you did do that.
He listened and acquiesced.
And it's like sometimes the key to be in a good leader
is, yeah, doing it a little bit by committee, you know,
because you don't necessarily have to be authoritarian
all of the time.
Now 100% and also think of how much it is
that you're applying of pressure on yourself,
if you're, you can know that situation,
you're basically telling the entire team
that listen to me, I got you in this sense
and if it doesn't work out well,
then you can also blame me at STEM
creation, my father, we're not winning out.
You know, for a single player that is not
in the designated role as an engineer,
we get to say that.
There's very few players out there who would have the balls
to do it.
I can think of Nicol, maybe in the T2 days
who would take over from Snatch, you know,
and say this to you.
I can think of another player who is my boy's name,
I don't know, I didn't use to be a little shit
when you display with MSL,
probably you were in my, I feel like just take it over call.
Well, I saved those, you know, and I was trying to make
us, you know, trying to help the team with that.
But I think as an individual too, to have the confidence to do that,
and also as you described, you know, to have their allowance to do that
from the teammates, it was a great, you know, I guess, picture of where
your kinder is in within Syria.
He's fully integrated, he's fully trusted within the team.
And maybe he was overstepping, I don't know, you know, and maybe sometimes
you do overstepping, but in order to find those lines, you got to test it out,
and if you can, that's where the ball is to do it.
I have brought a lot.
That's another thing I like about Furia though,
because this would become a bit more,
I guess, emotionally mature as a sport.
A lot of the time teams have these, like,
what do they call it, like, empty the backpack or whatever.
Yeah, these sessions.
You know what I was doing?
Yeah, whatever.
Well, it's a normal coach, it tells about that,
because I think Furia seems to have a really well-grounded team
in the sense that they're always just aligned, chill, no dramas.
I think it's also team building in terms of information and how do you assemble the lineup
and what personalities do you have on the roster? It's important that you have people that
can mesh well with each other. If you look at theory as a holders, no one there who
get super crazy, loud or anything that's mega vocal, that's toxic, it's anyway whatsoever.
They mostly seem like laid back people who are able to be calm. Obviously,
to Moldo as the rookie and bit of a fiery persona
gets excited, especially when he's doing well.
But outside of that, you can tell they're all laid back
and they communicate in a calm manner in game,
which is also a prerequisite.
It feels like for the style that they play, right?
So I think there are teams that's fine with sort of just
being honest about stuff giving and receiving feedback
and criticism, and that's not something you see
very often in tier one conversation.
So Jacob, is there a key to victory here for Bay on Mirage?
So we got the map in front of us.
We're looking at where everyone's playing is.
Is there a jewel or a battle they can isolate something like that?
And it's tough, you know, and the ECNs would be, yeah,
go test for them on the B-bombs side.
But I think a lot of teams have tried that.
We did work out.
I think Furia is very good at being flexible with the CT set set up as well.
I love the constant aggression that we see from durian from time to time, as well.
Furia, from what I've sent us when to play the CT side of Mirage,
likes to take away a certain portion of the map. So the other team can go into a default, you
know, do an A execute all the time, or do a B execute all the time. They can't really do something
in order to disturb that. And in terms of debate, what can you do? Your new team, you're integrating
a new player. It'll be disingenuous of me to say that I know exactly how they're going to approach
is, because I think the truth is that the debate doesn't really know what they're going to do either.
So in that regard, you're playing the rush, you may take up the pace a little bit, see if you can
in Red Loud Furrier.
One thing I will say for Furrier though,
that we've seen so far in the season,
in all of their games, even in Cracker,
at Blaster's World,
they allow their opponents to be competitive.
They lose them after two teams,
they shouldn't be losing two.
So during Cracker, in the lower bracket run,
they lost them after two.
Striderness, they lost them after two.
Other teams where you think you shouldn't be losing here,
at Blaster's World, they lost them after two.
We're playing what are standing.
So it's not impossible for B2 to make a surprise,
you know, and come out with brute force and counter strike,
and catch Furrier off guard a little bit.
but there's a long way from winning one map in a series
to let a long winning the entire series,
and that's why I think the biggest problem for Badesk.
But I think Fury was getting better with huge game,
especially in the back side.
Like if you put the bounty game against the roll
and the semi-final against spirit,
you wouldn't think it's the same few different teams.
Playing those games.
So that's why I think the problem is for Badesk
coming into this particular one.
They will need to, the way he and his,
having a really strong CT side.
like Furia has struggled a little bit on T-side recently, although that's not fair seeing
us how they went up against Vitality in their last game, but all right, and then being
seeing us how they started on the CT side bait, if you can get rolling early, get some momentum,
perhaps that's a way to steal a map.
Yeah, can we talk about the new play around bait, the quick before we get into the game, we've
got time.
I'm sorry to put you on the spot, because I had to research what you was.
So, you know what I mean, I had to look him up.
But what can you guys the experts tell us about him?
Well, not too much to be completely honest.
I've relatively unknown for me as well.
Also to look up, you know, some of his games and his position, his weapon reads, etc.
I'm not going to be disingenuous as well.
You know, no honesty, don't have time to watch every counter strike game out there.
There's basically no identity to it.
If we've seen comments and spare the paddling,
since that someone has spotted him, you know,
and I felt like he must have been a great talent.
I had some some prospect to it as well,
but to be honest, there's also a lot of academies out there who's not that exciting.
So it's too early to tell whether or not he's going to be the real deal or not.
I didn't see much, you know, of bait or ball as a team.
I don't really see them having an identity where I'm comfortable saying that that's going to be an
easy team to slide into either. So I think in that regard, it's up to himself to showcase and put
himself on the map for us to take an interest in him.
Glad to hear someone trust or drives couting abilities in him.
But yeah, I think it does feel like we're in an age where,
oh, you need an operator, just pick up some random CIS kids,
16-year-old, you'll have a good chance of striking gold, really.
But obviously, it's not that simple and beta-team that just as they were sort of on the way up,
started kidding us a wall, really.
And they need to get some results and quickly because of the VRS implications for the major.
Alright guys, it is time. We can start the last series of the day, so I'll throw you back to Chad Malik's.
Thank you very much, boys. Yes, we are ready to get this one started. A little extension, we get to hear their lovely voices over on the desk.
Sat in the scene, but yes, Sizi, this is going to be the name we're going to be saying an awful lot of hope.
Well, we're going to see a coward didn't work out. Let's see if Sizi's the true theory. He's going to be going toe to toe with Molotot on the other side of the server.
but gets mirage. It's a Pugge's playground. It's a map he made his account in 2020.
Come on now. That's on the Puggrounds and he's played an average of 1,000 Pugs a year.
So, getting the reps in. 1,000 Pugs a year. It's 365 days a year.
It's all over the maths. Thank you.
Well, what was the weakness if you were to start the year?
Four straight losses, three puns of the bay.
That's a lot.
And, uh,
it's now five straight wins.
Back.
All nice jump, and they eat them all the way to hell.
This is the core, the plash is connected.
Delays to the smoke of earth, all the way to the tech.
Wait, that's going to be back.
So, we can kill 50, the first kill.
Fuck the rise.
Then he'll eat a couple of entry.
Alex has done enough, and it's just Yuri arriving at late to the party.
And he'll also have a chance to pop his balloon.
Okay, and now it's just gonna be darks
I'm new. It tells me they're looking for something maybe a little bit more explosive.
We know what Kansas all can do in MPL. Those two little pocket rockets won't they get going?
Yeah, Kansas has been very entertaining especially on maps like Mirage.
It's to make a bit of noise as well, doesn't he?
Alex obviously taking over the in-game leadership from MPL last year.
And, hey, with the major run that everyone had to pay attention to, you want to see them get going again.
Let's fuse out, we're starting to smoke, we're starting to smoke, we're starting to smoke, we're starting to smoke, we're starting to smoke, let me get you out, I'm going to smoke.
We're going to smoke a little bit, let you go against the fist, no worries about the LZ, I'm gonna smoke you right there.
Oh no.
It's not smoking, it's not smoking, it's just a comet, it's an A-rim, it's not smoking, it's not smoking.
That's all right that's the A-X, now we're into the guns, all right.
at WP? No. And this is the type of player who, if they can afford it, they'll get it.
Since some crazy moves from them, he loves the glass cannon. He's got no issues without
the arm up. It's the first call to be made into the guts.
I think what really impressed me about Motto Boy is how quickly he found his stage legs.
Maybe sort of crumbling on what was really first to be the sole of our team.
Yeah, but he's very quickly going to find his game in those high-pressure moments
That's pretty much the last break. Yeah, look at this go look at Alex
Looking at him swings in and traits mononoids death. Oh
Costs him everything a nice headshot from the city
Let it talk go. I've been a lot of talk
But enough
I'm gonna play push, Fallen.
Easy.
Oh, Fallen.
Oh, you're mad.
Yeah, Cynthia will know that you should have got that one dead to rise.
Cancel it to the track this down.
It just just gets out.
It's good.
It's a lot of this proper.
Oh, it's perfect.
Fallen still alive.
Can't say I'll throw something in this three.
Okay, well, Cynthia, that's his spad.
I think you'd say that's a kill that you should be having every day of the week.
every day of the week and then they should be able to start to piece that round back together
so they do fumble early to the one
well yeah I mean you already highlighted that it didn't look as I say the cleanest in that second round
and it seems to have followed me for the game
it's sent fuel versus four in here
I mean pretty pre-arranged before the reaction is
that's the conversation about the modern game with everything moving all the time
okay you're holding an angle but he's also the one ready for the fight
yeah you're holding
I'm half asleep.
Hey, you're doing a job, but do you really believe somebody's coming?
Yeah, it's the opposite of a lazy player. It's up.
I'll come up with a turn.
Yeah.
I think about it up right now.
I don't know, he's ready for this fight.
Oh, he's got a lot of shots.
Finds Kensens' goals, hey?
I don't even jump, spot.
I think he's falling in the past player.
I'm not sure if the specter is a sen field.
You're going to go through underpass if they want to...
It's this up.
That's not too old in the world. That's going to lead us to park the bus middle.
The pieces continue to move. You're either taking ram control.
Middle being investigated. You've got fallen short. You've got connect the plow.
At least in this instance, into a mold or a cannon case around a floating window.
I think being fired back. Now, rerouting case around it. We'll be joining Fallen over to what's been.
Hey, I don't like to look at that, so, I'm worried about no full lot right now.
Yeah, and that time is gonna feel quite thin.
He just blocked it, fill out a hand as force now into this aid finish, but it is just you're here.
Can air in the coal mine, how many can he take?
It's so powerful, I'm going, I'm not sure how soon he's gonna clear this.
Just more.
Yeah, exactly what Yuri was hoping for, can't sit.
It's the bomb.
The bombs are closed now.
We're going to get into the spray, important from MPL.
Alex over to catch Florida.
Asho!
My job!
They're getting shot from fighting the cost of his lifeboat.
And be uplanting.
No, no, no.
Absolutely no.
Cover up round over.
All right.
Well, I am definitely not looking at on point for a young buck's team.
I'll be there a couple of days.
Yeah, I know you're a gentleman with a jitter's getting into this over.
I'll pick you up for a team that wants you to find it.
Yeah, they're trying to get on the wall.
Okay.
Got it!
That's another taken care of business.
Sid knows he needs to be a man to manage the intensity.
Right, you can't come in and especially with how these last couple of rounds are going to get it.
Okay, there's going to be a while to the part.
You want to make sure that that focus stays.
Usually, I mean, this is just the trend of felt is that
a team that does have a deep front of the top of that first game, can look a little hard to get the, you know, get out of bed for it.
Be a good player, you know.
Especially when it's a week and par, that reset it comes down quick.
And then full on's on his own right now.
Rotation will be from short of your kinder.
He's currently on the top road.
Oh, if you love that in a sound cue and then the rotation will be up a day.
I think you're gonna have a cat.
That looks to the flame.
Like so, the flash is sent here with a save day cat.
You can just fullbow of you to the right just in time,
going for a sound cue to be given away.
Well, when you have full mid-controll,
and now you don't have to worry about it, so you've more worried on the sides.
You have a re-takeset up right now with your e-over to tick it.
So this is why you're bolstered down there's B-LOPSA.
Just letting all those needs get thrown on out.
Such quick carving in these last two gun rounds from the mid-middle.
They're playing ahead of the smoke looking for the fights.
I've connected timings, and now it's very late.
This won't let them in play.
And then you smoke on top of it and you're either running through it or running the glove.
That's how you're all coming up.
Oh, I need a bath.
You can't do this, don't well.
That's the rifle gun.
Fallen.
Fab, yeah, that's going to be it.
I love Susie, cannot bring out the A&BP.
It's not going to see the weapon of choice, the kids' hands just yet.
That's a herosh from Furia. That's how...
It's two inches and three languages.
Yeah, you don't do it at all.
Lovely, champ is said.
Yeah, very nice, guy. It's good to have a conversation with.
And the chat about this one is the come-round that's even only if you're eating the deal because of no lost bonus, but the luteal light on, no HGs to soften up.
It's been an easy round by any stretch of the imagination for vague, but at least they don't have the Molotoy Orps to get past this yet.
It's the century.
I think it's a little rally car.
Every King's out there, there's my mid box, it's no today, it's a flat shed.
Look at the tires, we catch them on the timings, but very slow as they, it's all around
the place.
Hello?
Man, that's a perfect bite.
You can look up inside in the cross out and we boosted the window.
I'm going to stop the short set up, that's you can be going down the short player.
It's one of the flush out bed.
I thought I'd not just leave it into a recent place.
Yeah, but the problem is getting to what's built at the bottom.
And motorized the only place you can see it's shot.
Okay, well, he is playing for the siren now.
Okay, I'm all of the way multi on the menu.
Rotation bars.
Sure, it's arriving on those positions, no two.
That's the start.
It's starting to adapt and adjust into our legs, but their sight has fallen.
Let's give this a look.
I think it's probably better to go to the save with how far the rotation is.
There's a lot that you're going to have to get through it.
I'm just going to put a number of disadvantages and still early stages of this first half.
So, looks like Fury will concede.
Gamble away, costing them.
I'm all the way being surrounded, but on the bright side, we can see the orb invested
into the next.
Sure, it's one of the power loss bonus, but he's going to have 5k, so I think this is where
you see that last cannon scenario comes to the mix.
Sometimes it comes easy, you can do it over extends.
extends. He goes down, they grew up up all of my takes away, they're executed to
hold the execute, except for a job success. I'll find him. You just have to trade him.
Exactly how that function. So, Andy worked there from bait.
Good. They got the coach with them. I think he said a couple of issues get into some of these events.
Yes, right. As think her called him Maddened.
It's good to see Maddened by.
Maddened.
But yeah, no, I think that that round seemed they went a gun round in convincing
fashion just the one casualty certainly does demonstrate we could have a proper
back and forth here on the ranch. No, I'm all at all. Yeah, I'm going against it. Okay, not
they just see the board out whenever he can so he's going to operate with the rifle.
Lots of nice spots in our mid. I think it's a lot of interesting tools damage from that.
See, by the left, because they want to try and sell that they're occupying heavy-mitted quickly
Well, I can't remember.
Talk like it's a lie.
The teams on the CT side keep in his case is moving.
There's an airplane countershot that you've got.
You can't be playing up in the water right now.
There are grass in the suit.
Two players grouped up. Palace, you're in. You can't.
So timing, I'm not sure if he was the mayor.
No sense, he could probably have one here.
Stop that timing.
No one ready, you're in your can to fall.
Case or answer, I hope, and they respective and send you in.
They will.
They're good, not to be sad. Take boys right now.
Okay, so we're all just going to run.
You're a little deep and a shot for you.
The Sanfield brings it down.
Just for the little CT, I don't think you can catch the turn
under the assault tank.
He does hit the shot.
Alex does.
The turn of the way over would be already saving.
But they've just consistent convincingly taking both the B and the E sign.
Back to my ground.
Yes, so pistol and then the witness, the E-Co,
and then two rifle rounds.
So good staffers, there you go.
Okay, reverse that P.A. will climb on the do it and this one feels good right off those two
cool's coming with Palace and then the Molly lands you could have been disconnect I think it was
Cynthia who's going to just run out it's good that they wait in that moment or I will
block we have the youth so we have the advantage let's just chill make sure we get the nades
and then we'll have this second way push through so good poised there from bait to give them
slight lead
is one round gap become two, but furious finances, I'm going to grate right here right
now, now case a router holding on to a little bit more, surely you'll have to have
a sense of even capacity to do it, it has to come out to the next.
If I'm gonna do your GP 250 just so you can take sure.
While I do I guess the sniper rifle.
Just walking through those right now, the default.
There you go, only those potential four positions.
But last another way to get good ol' money.
It is, yeah.
The chance is empty. I jump it out there window odd zero. I don't know how it is all right. That's the question
I want to get the death hasn't changed anything. He is still frozen in place. Come on anyone come on anyone
Yes, I feel pick up the AK second guy comes flying through. Oh, yeah, we need to get
Come on
I don't just accept my short, but do it anyway
Oh, he does still fight all the way to Molodo, just left his pose.
Hey guys, could you have just held on the short so I can not forget please?
You've ruined his plan.
The five-stead alive would be nice, his bomb goes down.
I'm not sting black of kills, but if you're ready to last three rounds, that's what one killing three rounds.
So, great for the T-cut, the T-finances.
Yeah, this is bait, we're going to be sitting pretty with a couple of gullies.
And five rounds already. This is nice, this is bait working into things.
I think it's interesting that it's mirage pick, they're on a free map losing three
kind of themselves, lost a knobby back at the major, then to energy and pain in crack
out during the opening stage.
But again, I'll head straight out, take your cow out in, now scissy in, so a lot of moving
and shaking in a bait camp as far as the orb is concerned.
I don't want to say it's an easy piece, it's not an easy piece to find a good
all-ports, it's hard to find a good all-for in the bottom game, but it's, it's, it's a
piece whose role is very distinct. You know, exactly what they're going to do within
these rounds.
That is, you more of an aggressive all-puts, is you want to get stocking, is you're going
to take some crazy moments, crazy risks. That's something that we're going to find out,
because there's a difference between playing in all those pugs I'm talking about, difference
between playing Academy Counter Strike and then playing as the people, as you're going
up against fury, I considered by most probably the world number two right now.
Hi, ho, hi, ho. Still every time it's gonna get ya. It's not to work, we go.
Oh, it's on the knee, I'm red, I'm back.
It's at the PGL, Singapore major, dude.
Oh, easy, open up, lovely, fine, Alex going down to where you're kind of sure to swing.
To answer the other pass, it's equal.
Take the space of top med.
It's really right now on MPL and Kansas are either forcing the back to find any space
or getting a kill.
Doesn't like any kills are coming their way so Tom Consts mode
Where's that going? Oh, it's geeky lovely for the setup to set up your
Give some some food and the reposition and then a smoke break doesn't expose the connector player
The bomb is still in T spawn. I think that's gonna be yeah, Sisi's responsibility
He's gone back to grab that now, but Consts makes faded they're committed and
That person will be fading shortly
Now that won't replenish immediately, freeze them up.
I'm trying to find a different deeper line into connector hoping for a little something
that it cancels or an MPL but they were main-tugged.
They've got all their pieces in the place they need them for the finish.
Who moves first?
Oh, it was a Samfield court on the bay.
One of the way perfectly positioned reveals his AWP's presence.
Slinking out his Kenc's or Mollodeway at this point is something from the stairs position.
It does get brought down by a combination of bullets and flame.
Now you're is here.
You know, he's here somewhere.
So, you know, now it's easy to just.
It's up to flat.
Very tough.
You can do that range removes one of the two.
It's easy to look around.
Wow, you can do punishes.
You can punish all thanks from your can do.
So, once I see an orchid across the default, it's such a strong line to hold connect out.
You're going to have such a difficult time being able to breach through there, and the
probably they did have Nades, but they were mainly on players who went into position to throw them.
Sizi was the guy coming back. He just had the molotop at random, but he actually used that to
great success, but until the default player after the fact, it was just no flashes to help
a sento go for a swing, and even if he did, he had that heads-up tool with Yuri. So, top one,
I remember the cash was flowing for bait off of the three round stretch, so they can buy again,
and then CZ will bring out the orb.
Someone looking set up right now for the CTs.
You can do aggressive short.
Can you start a connector model starting over to stick it, Yuri,
forward position on A,
and then forward anchoring down that B site.
You come to the fight to do a set up for T flash however,
maximum away. He's searching in Jigland,
and can surrounded those down.
Oh, beautiful opening!
Lots of beautiful eyes, no!
Well, we'll give him that one.
I think so, especially with an opening kill against Furia.
We're at a CK so we're not to court like that.
This is going to be a finish back to be again.
They've proven that they're capable.
We're outing the bomb on Ken's door.
So he's around, we'll be, yeah, we've seen this work figure.
He's been great in these four positions on A so far.
I'm curious if they've kind of learned their lesson if they've relayed how he was approaching this forward ramp hold
So they use elevation to Alex play up right and so not looking to be the case
Okay, how are your clears
It's a normal scene the shadow
Oh, it betrays the fury team
Got enough bullets
Fawd I see it
Should be good to collect now on palace MPL late mid
Oh, for what do you make us there?
Oh, neither of them are aware of one another.
It looks like NPL should happen here.
That's the right. Yeah, back time.
20 seconds have to go away.
Go to go away.
You got Montenolipose to CT and opportunity to play.
Here's on the cross.
No shots.
Everyone connecting.
Sizzy opens and closes.
Triple kill from the new younger.
Yes, that he only had to be in P.
Through underpass, finding that connector.
P. Sure, Mr. Window smoke, but that's the impact.
That's huge.
6 rounds now on the board for bait and you're happy with that.
And especially just, it warms your heart to see
They kind of smug pride.
Off and wash over his face as he realizes what he's done.
Catch his boys, I see.
This is the important trade in the past.
Trigger's the owner on the clothes,
but without this one right here,
bombs down the ramps, they're here, he's wanted.
That's an important fight for CZ.
I'm doing a lot of pressure in that scenario.
So, well done for the 16 year old.
First, Port of Cool was underpass.
Now, on the anti-Eco, just goes palace to hold for any purchase.
And this is for seven?
Not even holds.
Sorry, he is.
He's pushing.
And we are going to be seeing his sentials at you, Rick, off you, and he's at the side.
He wants all of them.
He's going to pay for them.
If you're not home, four or the five, I just wish he's at over the line.
Okay, so that's seven out of what is eight available.
One round coming up.
Can Furia hold on to something.
Second tactical time out to be called by Sid.
So he really wants this fifth.
Furia feeling it right now has brought up on the desk.
This was a bit of a weakness to start the year for Furia.
this is their most played map of 2026 so far.
In this because teams were picking it against them,
they lost four straight, heroic Parvolution,
foot and Mongols, and then with all those reps in nine
that was getting exploited,
they put in a lot of time into it.
Now they've won five straight.
Now via Strahl's Aurora spirit vitality.
Oh, the most slouches either.
I mean, taking down a lot of the top dogs.
Yeah, it was the map that they won in that final and crack-off.
So,
then being under pressure on this map,
that's not new territory, not in 2026.
He said, he didn't even fall, will they be able to dig themselves out of it?
Then that choice even further coming up next in dust too, if we need to take it there.
Looks like Susan's got his Instas down.
Alright, we're serious and Santhiolp.
Looks like Kenza's all wants to make a playthrough con.
Yuri, easy pick up for MPL, there's push him, Palace, held by the Colash.
Looks like Fallen said I'm cool on B.
But I'm free of you, kid, just trying to piece together.
The theory is fifth.
It's kind of cool, I thought about it.
Yeah, I thought, yeah, that probably is for better.
And Zonda window, Sizi.
Afterward's Dellpan, an MP, I'll come to join this, so I like to be late through
Palace, they need this connector space if they want to finish A.
Fallen taking space, they know, and has to be the A-play or up short.
Oh, nice to meet you, Gastarata.
Didn't spot him over there to the smoke on that jump.
Hence his walk gives the Zellpan a farted while it like quickly returns the favour.
So, he's all, all of the energy, he can't still hit the shot, so he's all now noted.
So 2-1-2, high stakes and plenty of time.
Oh, what?
He was fully flashed, just pulls the trigger perfectly.
Now, Sissy in the clutch, what's your gap?
Beacon air, those what's up?
But Mollardoy does too.
Quadkill to close, looking good on that EWP.
And that's the first time as fellow, Mollardoy's been able to force himself into the game,
right?
So, all comes out, gets the opening pick.
I think that's his first opening within that half of play.
and then he's just locking them down from that point.
So while done to salvage the feed,
they had a patch of three and then spot it
and the tail end of the half,
I've been a break and then we get things back
under way immediately.
So this one's on.
It's definitely on.
There's no reason that's bait come
and make this competitive affair
unless they completely capitulate now
on their CT side.
I think there's grounds for that being the possibility.
Well, the aim of the first couple of rounds, even when they were winning, right?
They had they won the pistol, then they won against the eco, and it looked like some
shaky aim moments there, and then going to the first gun around that lingo, but be
going to break through with the patch of three, right?
It within that you highlighted it, and they just lost a one casually.
So they did start to dominate a fury in that sense.
and they make it to from two pistols.
That will sit them up pretty.
And play even more pressure to Furia,
who you can see it, feeling it to some degree.
You already had a couple of nice moments
over to what day, I'm already there at the tail end.
It's a selfless Kansas office,
it takes two palm of jubber answers.
It's a full and throws a bit of an A-fake, and you can try to sell it.
Cast skiddish out there.
Oh, it's not ideal, and you miss the marts off, you can do it.
Has an opportunity, does the wilder's Alex?
Actually, I rotate it, they rotate it.
Put the bodies, chances are we'll fly and get back to the fight.
I'm always already removed into the air.
Oh!
You shot here to finish the staff,
model the way double kill entry into the b-site.
All put in the open, lucky to get away with his life there.
It's through the smoke.
Help us.
Look out the fade, decenipated position.
Good catch them off guard.
Look at the frame!
Still doesn't find it.
Big from Sizzy.
All the boys got that perfect flank,
and it's up to Sizzy in the one we want.
Can you deny model the way the 4K?
Oh, you can't!
It's starting from Sissy.
He's got a sizzler, baby.
That is beautiful work.
A few to come through and they've just snatched that away.
The pissed-up of Uriot worked.
It drew the rotation.
The side was susceptible.
But this kid, beautiful little three-piece right there,
that with the smile on the face.
Yeah, that made, of course, it does.
You want to talk about impact.
You highlighted that one on the ramp,
which would have otherwise been a lost round.
This, however, is, as I say, one of incredible,
say, the fact that draws the rotation, right?
It felt pretty lit.
This utility stole that immediately, but on the fade, that's the beauty.
Kacerotter was pre-eminent his head, as that smoke fading still wins out.
Wow, look at that.
Alright, well, I'm going down.
No, no, that means a pretty strong force, five, and fury out.
Pack yourself on the back.
Hey, get himself an AWP.
And how can that go wrong?
Lose the round, balleroy takes it, and starts, given it to you.
Well, let's see, up.
Can't wait.
Run to the hall?
That's a nasty guy for him.
He's canceling a mast. Yes, it's gonna hurt to be able to get a crazy set by you
Save
Absolutely nothing. Ah the world the walls feel like they're closing into that moment if you're sent you
Yeah, I've let them up short. Yep. They're coming to be apps and you just talked van
That is a tough one
But that happened rapidly one of your issues call
like Chad, you've never called Flora Boys, we're all just going to walk up cat instantaneously with a window smoke.
Well, there's some keys here that Fury are trying to exploit against bait, so one of them being on the pistol, all right, these young kids, they're in the first official of this event.
Let's fake them out a bit, right? That's the case.
This one's like, all right, well, let's just go direct because you level a respect if you're Fury, everyone at the top level, they can shoot, right?
But you need to act with that bravado and that confidence is, oh, holiday Mr. Jeras, show on the simple sticker on the AWP.
The inspiration to me is with the top snipers of today.
Okay, so didn't reveal the orb?
Didn't reveal the orb, you're right, yeah.
So, look, if he's able to find that I'm in the incision right now, that...
Is that the prize factor?
Just fall and call something direct again.
I thought you kinda got away with mud, I'll pull them out one off.
And now you gotta get a bit more to work with, so I could just try to stand it rounds.
Pro, get that info.
Yeah, meet the CT's expectations if I stand it round to feel like.
I don't know, a little one shot from the dig, or doesn't even pull the trigger.
I said, feel what's been in that headshot? Look at the cheek and there's a little bit of a...
Yeah, he's done this. I'll be watching him all the time.
Let's go to the stomach completely separate to react.
Okay. Well, uh, has given them a roost down over to what's Palace, and Alex is actually going to keep on pushing the issue.
Trist to the common spawn, so this actually could be exploitable if Alex was to get that info.
But, hasn't rounded that corner.
Oh, since he gets back to ticket, obviously Con is a concern, but just can focus fire ramp.
So when it's getting peace together for an ace, but now the bomb heading back and
too lingering around Windows slash middle.
Ah, it's easy, quick on to Yuri, stop the advance, but fall in punishes, so the old
now gone, the question is, where is MPR?
Where is that hit and Alex on Palace?
Still can go wrong for fury at 35 seconds, starting to commit.
Sensuals rotated over
Case around to task with the plant. Can you deny?
Locked off by empty nine all the way to the past Alex though. Oh, it's collapsing
An opportunity sounded was there but looks to reform and find a way side chance for Kansas all goes around here as well. Yeah a couple of moments there
How come period?
Aware of all the nuances of that situation and they will get Moldo. He's a WP didn't have to buy that one
did he? You know, it's the best as I food, you know, in all this free feels even better.
Yeah, I'm going to once again take a little tactical, I think. Yeah, this is
bait calling it, which in eco territory right now. So, curious to see what this one is about.
Maybe there's a bit of a disagreement going on within the team's big video.
Wait, with the money that everyone's seeing on screen right now, you wouldn't have been buying.
So notes are out, coaches read enough of the page, players are taking a look as well.
2400 into the next round, you can see what type of buyer they get a couple of kills in the city,
so I give myself, I don't know, 50 bucks either in everywhere, so you still hope you know,
extract some value out of this one before things are tied up eight, eight.
It's a spot that's nothing invested.
Why could you possibly have to retrieve?
You can just go to hell squad, rounding that corner, falling in there, even.
Be able to swing out and finish the job.
You can do it.
I'm gonna tell you guys, we're gonna tell you this 30 seconds and dead note together. All right, so you
Yep, we're spacing here. I want to eat a line up. Yeah, perfect.
Yeah, there are too much choice. Probably my modern society. All right. Well, that comes to be re-acquipped and
since he did have enough to bring out another AWP with the lost bonus siphoning through. So we're
to see him and Moldo 8 locking horns. This was both pistols for bait, and then a
force bite lost that I'm sure they would like to forget that happened awfully quickly.
Oh, my tag.
That ain't how she meant to go.
Oh, no water.
Okay, so Rato just slapped the orb out of the round.
Now how does it take bait to find a response?
Right, do they group up? Do we have a move?
Ooh, you got a bag. How about that?
And I missed shot from the other way, as well.
It's all back away. You can see the space.
It's just a rato, just on the war card.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, I could.
Could have did it.
It just sent you as before.
Takes a rato.
Finds number two.
Yeah, good boy.
Pick it up, it's empty.
You're a re-grote-radivailable.
Now follow the price and succeed.
We're going on.
I'm not sure if you'll get this off.
That's it.
Multi.
Put it into the 1v1.
Get weird for Fallen in this 1v1.
I guess weird for Alex as well.
Unless he finds the bomb.
the bomb. She is starting to maneuver forward. Yeah, I'm just following her to shift key.
Now. Yeah, early enough. Okay, so. But now bomb. He's going to find me. What's your reaction to this?
I'm on the elevation going to be really hard to fall into the water. Oh my legs. That's down
that time here right there isn't it? Yeah, just in time gets his boots on the ground. Yeah,
fallen to step further then I'm going to go Alex's way any day of the week. Okay, okay.
Okay, they battle back into that. That is with the SSC and immediately. Yeah, totally the top stairs gone
Okay, so we're out to here a couple of very important kills on the outside
The chance right there shock goes off and
Not all around the serve up
need to throw and just not blind a key position.
It feels like you're gifting it to Furia,
but for bait you'd be kicking yourself.
They were for a mid-control.
We had the setup, we ready to take my up down.
We'll throw that fight, catch us as you don't worry, too.
I think they might know where you are.
Oh, no, no.
I really wasn't acting like you did it.
Didn't quite catch the cool.
All right, well back down to what should be just another e-cote.
Nice, then you're nice!
There is three languages in here.
What are you talking about?
All right, well, do you wonder if this is where it gets away from Bay.
I understand the score and still the advice, but this is that the digits.
You're gonna like a shirt, do you ride now?
First you kill it, just got way too easy, right?
Right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right.
Okay, here's the command in the chaos.
But just like the Kindest Positioning, if Monodoy does, as you did hit that shine, it's just perfect to punish anyone
trying to chase down an Orper.
This is one of the things in CS2 that were the way that the smokes work, and they're oscillating around the smoke, and even playing in the smoke, when you're expecting a push through,
that's a skill within itself, you know, more development of the game.
When you go back and watch CSGO stuff, now there's the smokes that stand out.
It's crazy what we were playing.
Yeah, like a grey smud, it just looks wild in comparison.
Oh, you got an untapped instant headshot was what Alex was hoping for, but they will get the info safety.
And then we know, hurry.
Yeah, these are the types of rounds that you don't need to rush.
You can't find the camera, you can just do one of those ex-keets on the A with some eyes on the air.
You can't find the camera.
Oh, you need too much of it.
That's too much.
Yeah, that's too much.
You can get to it.
Shot. Okay, I can. I'm sorry, Vitality winner. You go from that short side.
What case around is the insurance party? He's so deep.
I think it's brought down.
What if he's clean from the bench position? Oh, he even gets the luxury of information on MPL.
So, Lisa Rott has bailed him out there.
Oh, I suppose half of that gun he can get at and say, but
while he landed the door step back, he's just trying to pry that one off the corpse.
Yeah, I can be hard to get this finger tips on it.
It's still tight, the rear skits.
It's held by Kcerato.
Hang around, wait for the bomb to go up.
See, in the slushes further in your direction.
See, throw is a lion.
Pick up the loosey.
Just got to go on with his body test.
I don't know, you have an Alex, that's not for you.
Small.
And go back self.
So, G for MPO, he's got 3.1, he can now save him from this AWP, have a gun and get the
cable out of there, so...
Okay, once you're just called, hey execute by the sound of things.
Actually, the attack time out called, so, send you the interjecting piece, can change.
It's tough when you are certain coaches and you're playing with legendary in-game leaders,
because you're going to contribute, you're going to have a lot to say in these scenarios, but
you're dealing with a guy like Fallen who's been doing this for 20 plus years, right? So
what sage advice can you offer?
I mean, sometimes I imagine it's more of like kind of just you, you are like the extra external
hard drive for Fallen's brain, you know? Yeah, if you need any experience.
Things that might be overlooking things that you might not have considered so far, or they did this,
they did this, they could have this. Don't forget, this was a reaction we taught
the scars and blub, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
just helps kind of, you know, give you more space to focus
on the fast-down while calling the shots.
What?
Okay, I got a wallet.
Isn't my name?
Excuse me.
That's not me.
Yes.
Case of art is already across.
It's been really?
A powerful position from Fury up, we've seen a lot of players
occupy the stealth-erna position on...
...pinds success.
Alright, so they're getting that meaty, you can look actively now.
Well, that I started over to what they were going to see if you could find something, but
they were going to go back to trying to rest the team, and turns out it wasn't an
eggs to get up to roll. Just not out of the gates, it's not.
It's not a fake ring, you were at your home, I think it's especially against a team.
It's a great new players and younger players.
You just want them to be in this moment to figure it to default.
Right.
You want them to be just going to the map control, but now they know.
Let's give it a test.
I'm just suppose Ken says all of them are going to find a script for you, and Alex has
gotten balcony.
It's still getting to get one in the cover, I have a picture of four of those, it's
an easy fight for K-Sarata with nine fouls for Sizi and is EWP getting nothing done.
Oh, I can't see where the wind is, I can't stand it right now, I can't see where
the wind's in, I can't see where the wind is.
And that's going to be some of the issues for a playout Sizi as the awareness in these situations
of what's going on.
It always been ready for the lurk.
He's getting caught there.
He's here in AXQ, he sees the trades go down,
he knows he's lost the site,
and he's just not ready for a play-up.
Who's not early to Dell Pants?
So, I'd be another one to answer the Tally, 11 to 9.
And again, you've just reflected on the pistol.
It's the Sisi Clutch.
You need to be able to convert off the back of that.
Those are the type of rounds
We're gonna elevate you in a,
a much stronger position within the tarf.
You whip out one,
zero down to an eco.
You're all the ones on a level.
Save that, you have to, well, you don't have to.
But you likely partial, right?
And then you, you've already got three rounds.
You could scrap for it, sure.
But then you, okay, never mind.
Ops come out.
I want to fight for this.
I want to try and battle for over time.
I want to try and contest this in regulation.
So this is Nolan's shove.
Does this not indicate to fury?
It's a likely shove when you hear it.
Didn't you see the timeout?
Well, it's also, you know, maybe they wanted to buy an account saying no.
I mean, you go in expecting a buy.
Yes.
So you're going to be a higher alert right now if you're
If you're a regardless, because you know that was the saved gun, you're going to expect some type of trick.
And then as soon as you see the block, you two will start to come in and you go, okay, well, seeing a bit more like they're gun rounds.
Just like that, send you a chance around side, Bruce, for Molledoy making, for hoping to catch, and Sizzy.
What?
Oh, we've had an opportunity.
There's a cheeky approach.
The jump away from you, or you get some unscathed.
Definitely know what's brought it now, don't you?
That's definitely not given away in the early exchange.
It's just on the jump spot.
So pressure is immediately like you've already felt pressure.
B-App's run ramp.
I wonder in this situation you've just got for a crazy gamble.
As bay, you just hunk it down on one of these sides and go, okay, well,
they're hunking down on both.
They have sold the middle completely.
Yeah. No short info, no con info.
Caboos window, there's something different concerns right now.
So they're hedging their bets,
Ken's doing an ampioid at a fend beat.
I mean, Citi's Ram Smoke is going to enable him to kind of spot con.
That's, I don't even know 15 seconds.
And it's not even the concern, is it?
We can see right now, it's all going to be coming in through.
And I'm going to put Palace.
10 points for the smoke from the weekend.
This is one of those shots.
You really want to see your all the hit.
Especially now, he's lost Alex, forced into the fire by the flames.
We're all with the flashes we didn't know up.
Get the knife up.
That first fight still hits it on the follow up.
No, I'm looking. I said, yo, oh, that one was essential.
He's flopped it.
Good job for the game.
Oh, yeah, hello, kicking up a fuss.
I see a double.
Can't see anything. He's got this.
There's a freak out.
This is a freak out.
And there's going to come to all my way.
The elbow punish.
Molder away in the clutch though.
The loser had one of them is.
Thank you, STT, and Kensington.
Oh, my God.
What a turn around.
Saving the day.
Wow.
Okay, I'm doing a kiss.
It can't be so is probably screaming. I've got him.
And it feels like, no, no, no, no, I've got him.
Don't you worry about that.
And kids are erupts coming through jungle.
It gives away the sound, keep all the owners.
Both are in that moment.
Can't say they'll have to hit that first, but I don't know what to do.
They can't hit that one. They won't swap until his kiss still goes all good.
Okay, so far.
4-5 of the flames as you get to 1.
You think that's the way?
Yeah, with this claw back.
Two of them.
It's scrappy for the second, but that's the one that counts.
That's the one that really throws around to this one too.
The other is going to be feeling pretty hard, don't I?
6 HP, just one bullet short.
Okay, a lifeline, away back in.
Oh yeah.
Pots to the side, from bank on the way flashed in, but says he's there.
Open kill provided.
Look, it's not in 7-10 kills.
He's taking it to Fury right now.
It's climbing.
Having clutches getting openings, looking comfy, not backing down for a fight.
Sure, there's been moments where we've been caught up on rotations, but there's the pigboy table that they're gonna happen.
Yeah, such as life.
You can win this, still gonna be tough to break through the fury of finances.
All there has to be enough to find the next even with the 1900 loss.
Case of all who can drop a gun.
So they're still gonna be sitting pretty regardless of the result on this one.
I sent you to have another mayor remember the first half fallen coming through that smoke so two of them
Set as a cost of no longer at least not yet
See that pretty oversteps
Why did I have to have with Fallon to know your beating back?
Oh, that's quick!
Starting from Sissy!
He's really introducing himself to the world!
Here on Mirage, he's quick with it!
Starting headshot onto Fallon.
He's taken down Monodoy and Fallon.
Good stuff with his tackle.
Good generations.
Wow.
Well, that might just be the same right now 15 seconds left sure they've got the bomb
But to the things we're gonna park themselves over in college all tied up 11 11 DJ Mr. replay. I would love to see those shots again
The second one is wild, isn't it right like it's it's the quickest of quickskate
Fallen just sat on his ass by 16 he said. Yeah 16 years of age, Susie
Young talents introduce themselves to the world.
Well, this is the playground of a rise.
This is where the paga is really going.
We haven't thrown it all up next.
If he's able to look anywhere near as comfortable, look at this one.
Headshot.
Overkill.
If he could look anywhere near as comfortable,
grab heavy shopping and a proficiency on the ride for the Furno.
Having a couple.
Okay.
Now we're starting to have a conversation.
Early days.
But why not hike them up?
Absolutely, there's been plenty of first-time players that haven't had a first-time like this.
How do you stand active? Look at this boosted up.
Parmesan, for a deep-lying peerkin.
It might be a blanch just yet.
Cashore, it doesn't look like he's going to return.
It's not big control that they have garnered.
We've got deep angle. It gives them a lot of information for baked to be able to.
bit more of an educated guess
I can't open up
that's where I can play
The rest rate on utility from baits are fine.
Oh, that's a brilliant grenade. Look at Ccerrata walking at 30.
Eat the flashbang as well. Let's load it down.
A nice smoke break that doesn't reveal how it's around.
Ccerrata is going to try and punish MPL side landing.
I'll see if he's hitting. It's going to fade.
Ccerrata looks just in time. Adjusting time.
I'm looking for 12 looking damn good for 12 MPL losing his mind now on that player
Can all of a sense you'll still be really careful
He actually gets a headshot
Give it a go
Might not might not
On the road safe
Yeah, okay, but I'm a bit of a fury up. Yeah, that's the cure that safe leap
Oh, that's safe gun or two could've gone a long way.
They can still buy it.
It's just gonna be lacking a little bit of utility.
And again, they have the read.
I can understand why MPOs kind of lose it a little bit
right there.
They know what the play is gonna be.
They have all the inform be.
The biggest problem potentially just that crawl up cat.
But even still, they set up.
They look good.
The fight's just not going their way.
So here we go.
Can they push us into O2?
Okay, I want to do it.
I don't see it double up for a second.
Okay, so I'll time it on as well.
Okay, so is he this time going to be trying to land a hundred middle already up all its found you can do that he's already so low rounds just started
There is a second or maybe you can do it on the page p my find that a be like
Since he gets a bit more influential this time. I'll just stock in beer parmets are hanging around middle
It's time to make their move. Well, since he wants again to look in
Confirmation, the plot is occupied.
It's hoping to catch the cross, the case of Rato.
Excuse me, it's your window.
Yeah, and he's still playing quite aggressively right.
Can you name it in this position this way?
It's only taken at late, but also still spamming.
Not catching anything.
Rooved up towards beat.
That will be the finish.
He's trying to anchor bigger than he is.
Top Consmo Windows mode.
And now panic stations, since he's going to have to know that,
Blush, he's a very outbugs in out, already got the skies.
Down goes and sent you up.
Siffy next to him.
Kasear Arthur too.
He's at a great little resuscitation of form.
He's going to precise headshot from your kinder as well.
All right, well, science is going to live in this one.
Jim is close.
Very close.
That pushed up.
He's really dead, put up a fight.
Is this the best bet though?
Isn't Fano a different story?
We're gonna find out when we get there for now.
It's gonna put the J.R. on top.
That's in to 11.
Okay, that's six straight barrage wins for fury now.
But that one got tense.
Let's throw this over to Richard in the boys.
Yeah, nice hot class there.
We love that because that ending in the right way.
A brilliant entry from Catera out of finished things off.
And thought we might be going to O.T.
But fury has shown just enough glintes of their old selves.
I've got to say though, a very impractical more bait
were able to do on that map and certainly, you know,
a real close one.
Yeah, they made it a competitive.
They made a competitive job point where you were thinking
and feeling that maybe Furi would lose.
That maybe Furi wouldn't get it over the finish line,
so, and that is, and that's nice,
that's better than expected from Bade.
But I think another day got nothing to show for.
They still ended up losing.
And this positive, you can take away,
I'm sure we'll get to some of them,
CCD, one of them obviously,
and Bade playing a decent game of car strike.
But then again, if you look at the scope of the matchup, every single time beta plate
for us so fine in the history of this matchup, they're one mirage, and that's the only
way into the matchup.
So in terms of staying competitive in the series, I feel like there was the one chance
they had in the blue.
Yeah.
They had, yeah, absolutely.
Opportunity to liquid and capitalize on some of it was, you know, misplayers on a team level,
some of it was just individually not being sharp enough in some key moments to think
essential to look back and sort of, some of the wrong thing.
remember that first gun round in the first half or fallen as walking through a smoke, clearing
him and B abs and he kind of get that kill. I mean, that was the round, the finding kill,
really, there were a couple of those moments for him. Unfortunately, close but no cigar for
bait. Yeah, as I like said at one moment, it's essential that was essential. Great,
great, we had Alex, right, Cole. But no, I mean, look, obviously, this is who we have to talk about,
case or I know. I think such a tenured career. I also want to go on the record and say,
okay, you were right. You shouldn't have joined Team Liquid Weldon. They brought Team Liquid
to Team Liquid Weldon. They made themselves international, rather, but no, I like such a fantastic
player, obviously, right at the end of the year lists. Some people felt he could have been
a lot higher. And I just love watching him plays really well-rounded player has so many different
abilities is a life. I think the cool thing about Keiseraru is that we often speak about players
belong to every, you know, that they remain good or they remain close to the top level. I think
there's a case to be made that he's still, you know, exploring whether or not we can either a peak
Keiseraru once more, you know, that there is maybe the best version that we're getting in 2026
together with Furio obviously and relying on them finding more success. But he's off to a strong
start, he's been very consistent as we know him to be. And he's playing kind of strike at an incredible
and I feel like he is a part of the reason
that's to wife for this.
Well, I know we speak about more
of the way we speak about it.
We speak about form,
but there's not to get that case of Rato
also came back to being a world class wife
that was he's getting sick.
Let's not forget about the best Brazilian player.
Really.
And I think it's also important.
He's had a phase where other players have
to where the team isn't doing well
and he just has to do more.
He has to do more things
and he would like, he has to maybe go outside
of the scope of his role,
but not anymore.
right. With this fury Rossock, he can just focus on what he does best, which is, you know,
being that sort of a alert key player working off of the space created by some of the other
members of the team and that's where he does his best work. Yeah, well, take a look at some of the
rounds. Obviously, in a close and fractious game like that, it's really what happens towards the end
and those rounds when people's money is starting to get broken and what have you. So I think we'll
will take a look at round 13. Yeah, the pistol around because I feel like, yeah, oh, yeah.
Yeah, Chad and Chad and Alex said it was well doing the cast like you got a convertive.
Yeah, we're going to score on right here for bait getting off to a good start in the first
half. You then end up winning the pistols. Well, spoiler right here, but it gets into a
scenario where we see city for the first time coming and find real hot call impact for
yeah. Actually, I'll play bait in this one day. They made a B execute. They kind of learnt them out.
They have a 3v2. They have a 2v1. Unfortunately, for them not able to convert city coming in with
three kills winning a 1v2 and you think to yourself 8 to 5 you convert the next round
you have 9 rounds to get said maybe you're the first team to be at 11. So that was the moment
in the game where I thought all right, you have a chance of winning this match.
I'm in a great clutch from from him as well. I mean you're very young,
they're really kind of announcing himself, you know, two tier 1 CS. He did have a great
map even though he lost and and shows that he's cool as well, calm, you know, he's only 16
You have to remember for a player like that, everything is new to him, right, like traveling, going to a different country, media days, right, plugging your gear, having the overhead headphones,
noise canceling once, having to play with engineers probably. So there's definitely a process for him to get used to all these things.
And it's what you would expect from that sort of a player, you've got some really good individual mechanical moments,
like sharp pains, some good flates, obviously this clutch was great.
And moments where he was getting caught off guard,
you know, by lurkers sort of just running around with his knife
holes when really he should be a little bit more careful.
And that's to be expected, as I said,
there's definitely going to be this whole season most likely.
It's just going to be a learning experience for some of those things.
And how does Tier 1 slash Tier 2 kind of strike really work?
If anything, he showed the mechanic.
He's very sound, you know, I think he had his reactions
and how fast he was killing people with the AWP that was impressive.
I very much agree with the Anchor in the sense that he maybe felt short in terms of his positioning in terms of understanding what was going on.
But you're also playing against one of the best teams in the world and you are bait.
So, have an up and end with what have been someone else to be to be caught off guard.
So, if anything, you put himself in the map right now and from a mechanical standpoint being 16 years of age and playing that well already,
I know small to handle size, but make no mistake when you can fire off the other fast and be somewhat precise.
and you're gonna have a quick way of talking.
You know, again, Jacob reference and call bait sucks.
I think we have a nice round reference
that as well because they did have missteps,
you know, on a macro level as well
in some key moments, right?
So this is a reset round, but they want to fight for me.
This is a CT smoke, 2D Molotov, misses, Molotov.
Thanks to that, get the first kill.
The killer, he was initially blinded by the flash,
but he has that CT smoke for cover.
And by the time a player actually comes to clear him
tried to do something, he's already, you know, can see everything. You can see in a mid-fire
trajectory, wasn't a bad call. Really, at that moment when bait is clearing mid, it's only
Molo doy and yakinner there. And Molo doy in that corner where he should have been Molo
doubt and forced, then and blinded, and yakinner hiding behind the CT smoke fall and comes in
later from top mid and manages to help and find the kill. So if you're able to execute that properly,
if you're bait you probably get at least a good trade, probably just two entries, and you know
are maybe able to close out the game in that second half, but that looked, you know, you
saw it, it wasn't even close. Like that made the clear, they just got the massacre, right?
And that's due to some of these small details where you just have to be on point against the
team like Fury. So in Furno coming up next, obviously we said there were some wobbles on
Mirage at the previous tournament that Fury corrected, but you know, able to exploit them.
What are the odds for the one in Furno? Now great to be completely honest. I think the
the ups of them winning the rush where the best chances they had in this match have been
not only had much done, I think Frio have shown time and time again that they can play
in Frio. Obviously at a high level, but also at a consistent level. It's not a map where
they have too many ups and losses are a map where you feel like, oh, that wasn't your
day. Whereas Mrio has been a little bit up and down, as Shadow also said, you lose 4-0,
you win 5-0, right? I see a bit more consistency coming out of Frio. Also, you know, speaking
to integrate a new player, integrating an off-player's world, a young 60 years of age.
Mirage is probably one of the ECM apps in terms of making your rotations not being
caught off guard.
It's going to be a lot of scenarios right there where he's going to be stuck behind a
smoke, stuck behind a Molotov, maybe stuck out of position, unless he's under front foot
so to speak.
And I think that's a significantly harder job for CCC.
So, in terms of the map layout right here, not really a positive interest at the sea
how he does, because obviously the step-up in Newtillut the usage when you go from way
to a one is like, you know, a big shock for a lot of time.
I'll show about that. It's crazy. Yeah.
And I don't know. I think spirit on an organizational level, just put him a
band's inferno. So I'm not sure about his academy team or he got to play it,
much or not about it. But yeah, here it's going to be a challenge. Definitely in
inferior. The last time they played inferno was against fatality, or as I will put,
I mean, talk about how carry performance and ended up losing the map. So I think
And here they'll be able to showcase a bit more while they're capable of it on the map.
Yeah, we got a little bit of time for break, a key victory for Furrier who we expect them
to look at and watch.
What's a big of a view, honestly, key to victory for me is just don't overdo it, you know,
just play, borrowing play on set of game.
I think one of the stronger part about Furrier is that especially on the CT side, you know,
weakness, the way that control banana, with the kind of being aggressive and being at
home in that area is fantastic.
I think you read that some of his best job on his CT side towards Peterswell.
So I see no weakness in the CT side defense from Furrier.
So don't overdo it, you know, don't push down
middle too much.
Don't play a game that you don't have to.
Just do the bad minimum and get the gappa.
All right, well, thanks for that.
We'll see if they follow Jacobs' instructions
after this break.
She said she loves you, but she can't love me.
But I love you!
I won't play window anymore.
What's going on?
Play your hook.
One expat.
The human body was built to move, not trap the test in one singular posture for 12 hours a day.
It's time, your journey evolved.
This is secret lab, I believe of.
I can only continue to be you, game, I would work, obviously, and I can be you, every move.
I'm going through multiple changes to start off playing 26 and I've got Alex 666 to
talk through all of this. First of all, for you, you are still a new IGL, you know,
you're going through this whole process. How have you dealt with like, there's no
headdric into Seger-Kawa and now you've got Sisi in there. So how do you handle that as IGL
So I'm trying to just get a play into the team again.
I think it's like the first time when we were trying new players it's hard.
But when you're like giving them everything we know,
like our strategy and everything.
So after like some time you're going to be easier for me.
Maybe not now maybe a bit later.
So yeah, but I think when we were playing with Patrick and Pele the second color.
like, he had to, he was not like talking with my like, that was, like, I was more like working with Neville.
So, he got it.
So, it's not too bad for you and John the James.
Yeah, yeah.
So, Neville is still like helping me.
So, he also like have a good, like, goals for the place, so yeah.
And what is the goal here now for Baked?
Because we've seen you guys, you can have some good performance at the majors.
You can come to these bigger tier one events, but it's trying to break through now.
So, is the goal to elevate yourself to be a top 10 team in the world, similar to that?
I think yes, overall we don't have any goals, we just play a game by game, we just need to feel this to feel at least one win.
On previous, we didn't have any win, so we just need to feel the win, to feel that we can compete against the one things in the best of three.
In the middle of like weekend, Compea was this all-or-place, but we just need to everything, also to be staying like our mental, just communication and stuff.
And obviously, we know what we can get from the players on the beat, right MPI was in playing so well, even now, not ideally at the same time.
The Kansas Hall is continuing to grow and develop and improve.
How much better can this guy get like, how much more potential do you see at him?
He just need to have a streak of kills, and maybe he'll just keep doing the tricks and then on the game.
So, he's my mentor, by the way.
Yeah, he just need this blood.
Do you have sometimes the need to hold him back?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he needs that too.
Yeah, sometimes it's bad when he's doing that.
Like, he's like he can go and die and try to make loose and he's around, but he can go and kill
and do you think I'm in this round? So yeah, it's like gamble, but we're still like trying to make it more
sectorized. So if you die, it's like not because of his problem. So he needs to know when he
can personal and he needs to learn from a bit of experience with it. So tell me now coming into
clues. What do you want from this? Is this just a learning experience? Do you expect to get
some wins like people might look at your crack-up
of ovens and then look at your change again
that bake could be a zero or three candidate, you know?
You don't want to feel like that, so tell me what you think.
Yeah, what I want is to win a game.
You're actually like, this is a world game.
Yeah, because Hell is hate, like if we win one game,
so everyone, like from us will feel this like,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
and to will maybe win other games.
We just need to this one piece, so yeah.
All right, well I'm very excited to see what the new young player can do.
It seems like you have a good understanding of how you want to play it all out there.
So get one win and then the rest could be easy.
Yes.
Yeah, we'll hope.
Very high.
Let's hope, yeah.
And thank you very much, Man, and good luck going into the tournament.
Thank you.
I'm still about recovering bit by bit. Had nearly 40 degree fever it's gone for multiple days.
There was a chance.
Okay, so what Alex was saying, that's Alex 666 there with a charming interview.
interview, we're just talking about how, getting a map, getting one map, getting a win,
and it would have put them in a good stead to run with some momentum. Fallen is...
What's that a you want from all? Yeah, I think man, it passed his bedtime.
You know? He's an elder statesman. I'm 30 p.m. That's kind of what he usually wants to be
talking in. Yeah, but in central Europe it's on the 830. Good point. Well, he's been here for two
days. No excuse. Well, he adjusted that quickly. Okay. Good point.
But if you're, okay, well, they got close. He's what I was trying to say. They did get close.
And I can understand why once a win in the last six series for bait, they've only won one.
Oh, a couple of best of ones in there, but they're still a contained series, as opposed to not a multiple maps.
Anyway, they've selected the CT side of their opponent's map choice, so having to dictate the tone to this is furious.
I said until there's enough prime position, Jepoke has had up and get one here.
He's just given it up.
I don't know how holding that re-aggressors.
What the bomb, what cost?
So yeah, wait, the apps flank could be interesting.
Cancelsaw is stalking his prey and
Ooh, quick tamp for the face puts monitor in the dirt.
You might not expect MPL here already as well.
Yeah, that could come as a surprise. Cancelsaw is looking more.
How are you? How are you? Okay, so I'll do as quick to it.
Are you expecting now? Yeah.
It's tucked by in that long smirk. So unfortunately,
Alex and MPL.
Oh, okay hold that chase him down. Yeah, right out of it. He's rough. It's gonna have to take this fight
So she's a muffins at 2-1-2
Dude, it happens if her retake with the bomb already hopped on. Yeah, you're gonna go for it
May be game of the quote
That's a Geronimo situation
Okay, no, but I mean like they were just like we were you know like actually I was doing it. I don't know
I think it takes the two different conclusions but I'm not doing it anymore.
I think Alex had care for as well, we'll go.
And be able to spring through a couple of those for Nades.
No, we're rushing device right there. What?
Okay.
Up and out of the seed of that one.
First pistol round for Furia.
Four spiked.
I don't know why I found that stuff.
Wait, where's the kid that's held gone?
You got a knife?
Wow, he got a pretty backstab.
Nice.
Look, you're really active.
It's like you can burn it once, you're really good.
Nice one, you're really good.
You got to get some him back.
Make up for you, it'd be good, but...
I'm going to talk a little bit through this one.
I understand, CZCAM, on my CSTV, can I say yep, this in debut to say the least.
Plutches, opening kills, all pylides.
Yeah, the pistol clutch and the all pylides.
I've got the first kill of the game.
Yeah.
So we just have to wait and see on inferno, it's going to be a whole lot tougher, just
disgusting that as well, but...
Never say never, especially if you're going to keep knifeing each other.
So on beast still, and they have again decent restraint on the u-tilt.
Falling showing no fear, stomp peeking around the turret side, and...
You see, Sissy deliberately trying to bait the man trying to have them looking his way,
I'm hoping to set up the 5'7 from a sender.
They're smoking CT again, there's 20 seconds.
The bomb is gone.
The bomb is gone.
We are the solid-trained defense.
Okay, you've killed two of the three.
There is another man there.
The bomb needs to be...
Oh, you got to go with that.
Okay, what a hell of a...
We're just up to here!
And the bomb's gonna be...
The bomb's gonna be using the smoke.
You can actually still win this round.
The Alex 1v4.
10 seconds is the bomb's in.
He gets to go!
Oh, he's got to go with this!
He can't handle K-star water.
Squeaky, bum time.
Oh Jesus.
Oh wait, we're saving our grades now they're coming to us.
Wait, are they coming to us?
We're falling, it's killing everybody.
I can't.
I can't.
I'm going to be.
All right.
Let's go on the pistol round.
Less more fun.
More fun than the pistol.
It looks fun.
Could you, you had his face at profile?
Could you see the comparison of how many morage is he's played on face it and how many?
Ah, the pogroms.
Maybe not easily.
It's not a map stat.
I don't know.
I'm not an expert at that.
No, no, no, I.
I was just curious because I need a-
We don't even think about what's the law.
You're right.
Take your bag on.
Uh, 1,500 of them.
1.
1.
The Mirages.
Compared to...
16.
Yeah.
In the next 16.
16.
16.
Ah, I think I can't reach out.
Okay.
Oh, no.
Okay, this is it.
Alex is gonna be...
Damn it.
Damn it.
I tried it.
But, try to buy a sandfield.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on.
and then...
MPL with the D-Gloan base got me excited.
I'll just go around the world.
Like, well, since you know.
Yes.
Oh, actually.
You need so two players.
He's out too.
Oh, my Lord, boy, it's just...
I have so little leap walked to another minute.
We'll take the site for free, thank you very much.
Aes clear, boys.
Uh, now you're a boxed in big.
We've got C2 and we have banana.
Oh.
You don't take that, babe.
Who?
No, central.
Did turn around on the jump, but I don't think he's registered that.
You keep in these guns.
Quick burst, the face, look at that.
Ah, okay.
Instantaneous Deletion.
They know exactly what's up.
I'm just going to go, okay.
Well, they can upgrade those into rifles.
There's a little annake available.
We've rethouse him the Rogers.
In 16 inferno's.
Yes.
No one.
His next most played as a nuisance.
Okay, that makes sense, because that is kind of, yeah, yellow mirage and then after that it's mentioned so
Oh, okay, green, dude, it does too
Yeah, it's kind of like the boomer map is now
Mirage has never left the pool either, so there's also that flying in front
Too shay, I'm full saying it's it's all
I hope we're not that open and move MPL.
Splite zip, jump some of his teammates head for a quick opening along the long position.
Kingston Rats over move, and now you can see the MPL is going to be throwing out this powerful smoke that you can do.
We'll be ahead of if you threw it.
The chance you changed his mind, excuse me.
You need to think you're not a fish because you can't cast with your head on time.
I want to take over.
Oh, your henders got stuck on the ramp.
Yes, that one is done.
They will plan the bomb and they'll be forced to stay around for a few in.
I could see that.
It was a bit of a hiccup from the defense.
Hey.
Good for the open, right?
Half or boosts.
Kill him B.
I look good.
The skull will naves not bad.
That's why it fallen.
It's softened up to 69.
You can die.
Yeah.
Manifests.
I'm going to try and hunt these away.
They're already combing out for this.
They're on our on this a side
They're on our on this a side
They get a bit of a wiggle on it. They do want to try and rumble them right now. So tucked in
Side side two of them a sential
They didn't make court again
They didn't sound a moment ago that comment
They're very celebrating at the sential card all up to it
You kicked out
Oh, we're in the round. I think Susie he's going to be tucked in
I mean that is that is just salt in the wound you've lost the round convincingly
but then you get hunted down and look at them all together at time.
He just started, he just started.
I feel like that was just an eternity after the bomb.
Blue.
And was that first opening kill as well?
You think I can't, it's sitting pretty in there.
It just loses absolutely everything.
Okay.
I've cast saved.
Can't burn the eyes, it is again.
This is just so annoying.
Dude, he has just locked.
T-A-F-O-O.
Three, two.
That's rough, Nicky.
He here by that restaurant on the moon.
Great food.
Don't let him spit.
Oh indeed, that's very important around the smoke that punish for it should have been much more.
That's more as you get the gun again.
He is in that flow state right now, because he has a last six kills in a T-Sat.
Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
That's actually the back turn.
Doesn't control the spray, loses out.
I'm not opportunity.
Again, full of swords.
Oh, I heard you heard.
They will be buying extra and a guard this round.
They've got the max loss bonus, since you have the Orp again.
Maybe they're walking to the den.
52 seconds.
Some of these rounds have been a bit late from Furia.
I think that's a good one.
Yeah, the stacks are the right place, but do they send in a pro?
Right?
Because they could execute sending case around, or he could have a bit of a look.
Oh, so if you want them to commit to be, do you want us to fall in this frame of a safe way out as neat?
What's that to shoot that go over?
Sorry, very well.
You can just spam to play up through confidence, I'm pretty sure.
And now you're pinned on beat.
It's just going for back to words for the boys.
Is he here in this?
Chaser also confirms they're a multiple here at the bomb just getting planted now
And you're not
Just kill it
Put him off the trigger
Didn't even know
That's a scary one. Okay, well, that's so they use was that two of their own smokes the CT and that like a party from
Chaser also he's completely covered. Yeah, which you know I understand you going in and you're looking
For info, but the fact like full and already has to be in thought the other side of the map
Oh, the trick is up for Alex.
Yeah.
I was letting other people get some kills.
And you get back on the board?
Just a casual 11 and one start.
Yeah, so five thousand.
Yeah, that's eight of the kills of the last 10 available.
So that's not too bad, not too shabby.
But they're running away with this one quite quickly.
T-side, it's like bias on inferno.
Modern game, but yeah, this is fun.
Yeah, this is five straight with limited resistance.
Even a little misery in there for good measure.
Feels like kind of a now one now before bay.
Whatever thing you need.
I need to demonstrate that you can't see.
I'm just trying to run out.
I'll screw out the road I gotta be able to go.
Now one of the ones that was partial
to get it on this rifle round, you're back off.
You need to be converting.
If you can sound with yourself five rounds before the half-laner break, there's still a conversation to be had, but one of the issues was noted, okay?
Miss Smug, this is he has the line.
It's even really good, there was a ribbon to play on the rise.
I think that's because the rounds were made needed to convert, they dropped the ball.
There's a little bit more disconnected, but still a very threatening first mouth of play.
Three players still plan to on this side to defend, and the next acute should be moments away.
He likes an MPR trying to hold a crossfire.
He shoots my top and he's fine, Alex, your first blood.
Then Kenc's all activate.
He's got his guard, flashback connects, and just during the dance was Alex, Yuri does punish.
He's on that low HP.
Oh, it's nasty, put the fight back, not only work from NPL.
Job surely done, Molotoy.
We brought down by the CZ-AWP.
There you go, they got the opening kill.
You're trying to play a head right there.
So he's already pardoned in because nobody's spotting the line.
So as the smokes and flashes are in the air, he's already parvy,
which catches them off guard because bait will open and play smoke-moly defense.
Right, once you see the smoke, the Molly's the flashes come in,
and that's when you drop your own because you know that's their timing to enter.
I came to try to play head of that,
I felt like it could have caught them off guard.
Ah, the three men at B-hold has ran supreme.
I'd get paid their first.
I'm all over the up.
I'm all over the up.
Quick, please.
I hope to catch FBL on the swing.
I'll just go.
Some diligence down on the slope.
I'm going to throw him in the box now I miss.
Quick pivot through mid.
Did he go back in?
I'm going to the line.
Smoke's going to be a bit of a flash ahead of the place.
I'm going to throw him in the feast.
Crossfire crunches.
The center queen in the fight.
Oh, this shot from CZ!
Second as well!
So I bought two more.
But look at this.
All the main way, you've lost three players top middle.
You can visit in the banana mouth spot.
Alex is on his own.
Alex is on his own.
It's going to be here as well. Like his partner and crime is arrived.
You have a smoke for CT. They can isolate side side.
He's just going to have to put kick up a real fast here, Alex.
They won't smoke? No, they'll keep it contact.
Oh, he missed it.
Now he knows.
He can's on the path.
I just want to isolate Yuri there. No trai, he's defined as sooner rather than later.
Your back connects one versus one for Yuri.
The laser on and off.
The MPI was already quick to this. You know he's going to be stuck side side. Maybe the slip to coffins.
He's creeping into it.
He's coming up. He's coming up. He's coming up. He's coming up.
He's coming up. He's coming up.
A real opportunity for Baked to find two back to back rounds.
It's Yuri just prevailing with 4 kills in the round and the 1B won't.
Yeah, Sissy, they're real hungry for that frag right?
You can see this kid wants to be aggressive, they climb down on Biddle.
It looks perfect for the start, two frags in their favor.
The Holy Ghost won't back, except for your first thing, and then Sissy thinks you'll
undo in the same.
So instead of hit the brakes, he hits the shot, wants to make not for it, but not enough.
Now it's so difficult in the situation.
He's delaying the confrontation, as long as possible.
MPO has a very good idea that has to be side-side isn't potential for that slip to
coffins, but you're ready on the fight.
And the round time line I think tells the picture, this one, five straight. Now another
add it to that Tally, six, one to fury up. Another time out for bait under a lot of pressure.
I mean, you've been rumbleed.
And they go in again. So Ken says there could be an M4 if they want to
I'm probably a little bit more firepower, he will do, so I've been up to him for as 2 MP9s up against the fully fledged fury on these AKs.
To the one round, they stayed stubborn on a passive 3 now, behold on the one.
I can't hold that on, I'm on the vest, I'm on aggression, look at Alex.
way ahead of the car. You're not ready for him. You can't get down. Kacerantik doesn't
go swing it. He's going to be a quick one back.
Sure, yeah. How is he going? A second on 3 p.m. He does very well given the pressure.
A flashing position. Nice fight for them behind the range. That one not so much.
But hey, K! No, one before me. Okay.
I'll fly with fire right now.
What I'm looking like you may have a little bit of a timing, Sizi.
Not open to the initial line but also not considering this. This is a 3D in the back.
I think that's a pretty honest idea. You knew you had an open runway now.
I don't feel tracking him with this.
I have to have an eye to plan.
Nobody should have the kill.
Oh dear.
Yeah, I think it's positionally is going to be the biggest issue for him right because he's going to be making assumptions that I'm just going to work with the top tier of counter strike and that's just not even with a map he hasn't played a lot of in the programs is still going to be a
probably saw on barrage you can call with a knife out roti not ready for lurks. So it's
positionally where you're going to have to have the concern for the kid. If it's a quick
learner we've already seen the output of firepower available. Oh yeah, we're on a different story.
They do. Just hold on to that, but it isn't without casualties. Down to the 1v1 does mean
I can't quite quit for the mid-five, yes.
It feels here.
And he flashed ready to react.
They've got three players ready to receive this.
We're in a try, just peeks in and removes the head.
Oh, maybe it's until the connection you line up, Naze?
Yep, you've got an eighth in your hands, essentially.
Drop it, dodge, get yourself a double kill.
Now, lead a friend from a sential.
That's full.
That's four and you're short of the mark on number three. You already get to the way we're getting our
keep them with a man in charge of him.
And you're just, oh, he's just...
So the smoke comes down to get the bomber cross safely and then he's trying to get something back to draw it into
level field but right now it's just Alex. What's past the kit?
What's blowing my mind if you can do it like, there was a size and four there's no traces.
He's just maybe echo located it.
Well, the puffs through the smoke right here. You're going to see the holes getting punctured through.
Nick's a lot easier to look into.
Well, I've been you want to save, what can you get your hands off?
Oh yeah.
Well, it's slightly better, it depends on who you ask, but at least this one's in the rifle category.
Well, you know, in the debate of MP9 or Fama, I suppose it's made his opinion close.
It costs more, it has to be better.
Yeah.
Well, seven or two.
I'm not possible with the plan even though he's got the smoke in the kit. He's not going to be able to get in and
You can try to kill them. Yeah, okay, no boys hang around.
Okay, so I'm getting out of there.
You can't. He has been punishing these saves. Crazy using every second that clock gives him.
It saves him.
That's yeah, demoralizing.
Well, it was never meant to be an easy series for bait, but Alex,
he just wants to win.
Maybe we'll be sitting out.
It's a dried fight up, man.
This is the last game.
We had one of those versus 10.
We were at all that you guys go and find the result of that one.
You see that.
The holes get hooked through the smoke.
So we needed.
Well, we'll be there, you go.
8-feely.
It's like a certainty right now for fear.
Here is that just speed running this second map.
At least it's good to see a sento with some good out for it.
Some of these fights.
He might have been a bit bit bit of a bit of a bit of a bit.
With a few of the jewels that he lost.
That's not number one.
Then he looks like a fighter with a hand department in this one.
This is our bunker a little bit.
And the other this might spam.
It's just anisnay.
Do you get the conversation started but now?
And then Pio just looking to hold them.
I can't even finish them alive.
It's okay, your kind is dead.
You might actually say this one.
Here he's coming.
Here he comes.
Here he's someone's going on over.
Prop hunt.
You wish is that chicken right now?
Yeah, I don't think chicken came to fly, so I was probably going to be the perfect
saver.
That's all.
A book?
I'm going to go mad.
Maybe a pot?
Oh, you'd go up with the fruit.
Yeah.
Dirty.
Dirty.
Dirty.
Dirty.
Dirty.
Dirty.
You came to what I couldn't tell them.
You're in a profession on the plants.
I'm gonna be bloodlust the same way.
All right, well, let's pretend they can't show.
That's me.
The mallet hiding in the park.
Day 468, they still think I'm one of the kitchen implements.
Implements.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Words just come out.
Implements.
I don't know.
You tensels?
That's better.
Implements has me thinking like flabber, science.
Okay.
Very film.
Yeah.
I'm gonna show you how to flubber.
Rest in peace, lover, winner.
All right, babe, can you get four?
Well, let's start with three.
Can you get three?
Three years.
Available.
Yes.
And just that,
Liberty's being taken, aren't they?
It's all made to put it.
Being quite staunch in their approach against babe.
Oh no.
Nails it.
Okay.
He's definitely stepping up to the plate.
Spin chips.
Just right.
How many still so aggressive against us?
We've punished them.
They've found on the trades.
Sizio and the orb.
Oh, no.
What the hell.
Guys.
No work, Alex.
Where are you, stop or else.
No work feeling of run-off.
No repeat.
No.
No messing about.
Oh, I've been spotted.
And he'd be, I'm about to get one banged if I stay,
or I can search somewhere else.
They're looking middle doesn't commit to it.
No, I have a good timing available, not to know obviously, but they have rotated heavily back to beef.
This is where they got their round.
It's true.
Once I find the CT, lower an orthodox.
That's a good chance of the opening. You can be going down.
down and I can be that haven't battle for this oh I guess you have one
player I said it's side side but the boost no easy 20 seconds
oh do you go 60
but the bottom backing off I can't even have a
scissor you want the old next round but you want it so bad
That you know you've won the round. Let him have the AKs.
Junior to us to him.
I do love that he's going for the hunt and sloth.
Lock in the door.
Yeah, making sure there's no way out.
But...
That's three.
Yeah, and I suppose it has limited a Moldo open to this next round.
Right? If you gave that over, they could have picked it up and...
Yeah, so that...
May have been somewhat problematic, but all good is fallen.
Selflesses that vote will be operating with a tech nine.
A-case for everybody else and more to get the scraps left at the table on this CT side of Infernant.
This is the opposite of the map round. They wouldn't quickly turn at the momentum turn up the speed of this exit already just forcing you to learn a B-defence.
I am there.
It just, they only have an hour. There's no way back if this has to just be at the
execute, because to go back and try to establish map control elsewhere, it feels like
an impossibility at this point. And Pills used all of its needs, but Alex still has both.
I can still rotating over with a full belt as well, so they might have the three main
be second again, but the site will be covered in flames right now.
Still got smoke?
There's three mullies right now.
Oh, wow, we can change the striles as the floor covered in flame.
I'll go back to the site after some of the images working out for them.
Looking for them to hop with a little bit more to work with in that second.
They've recovered our house somewhat, for to work with axe defences, bomb site.
Okay, I mean for it's a whole lot better than the two they had until those last two yeah, and consecutive as well
So now if they're hint hey that looks out here with a
A little bit of a celebration there
So there yeah, the pistol rounds you actually get the conversions
Whether it's against the force or the eco regardless get that done and it just becomes a two round game at that point
So bait not giving up hope just yet
And three out of the four rounds they won,
were with that B side defense.
One was where it came down to that almost
Molotoy 1, V3.
It gets for 9k on Cizy, open runway,
and it sent through tracking him in apartments
and Molotoy almost snatches that one from their hands.
So he's talking directly to Yuri down the line.
So we'll see.
He hasn't stopped for the pistol.
And that's Mike muted.
Okay.
I'm from Fallon so far, but hasn't really been required when you've had you
akin to the mororder.
He's a bit slurker when he's locked in.
I think he's also one of those players that kind of know how to exploit a team or
a player's discomfort.
He can adopt a style of play that can be very suffocating.
All five through second bit, no one teased theirs.
And only one man A, just Uri.
Well, this bait train is on track to meet Yuri.
This can be perfect.
There. Nothing about it. Nothing spotted.
Normally it gets changed. Someone jiggling,
T-Stairs, or Basin Vanale, he's dropped the smoke because
it's awfully quiet across the map and the rotation of three players
have joined him.
Can you fight your way out of this?
Yuri is primed and ready. Don't forget,
Sid was giving him a personal talking to.
has researched the term and that perhaps could be the goat.
Oh, but it might not be after all.
Flash, nothing home.
Okay, but has a full resetting.
There's the ability now to play for Info top mid if you're furious.
And you still have all this banana control from your kind up.
Rotation point will be fallen the quickest.
All right, well, I'll lick a contact yet.
This is with the P250, let him pick first.
Okay, well, the akin does got a turn around.
They have run and I have...
AAAAAAAAH!
What a hell of a headshot!
Come for 2-0, far off either.
Good shot from Sizzy and the other lurk.
If you're flush your mouth, do you clear him out?
Pacer also is considering as a possibility back in a way now.
Hold on, let me go, but...
So I'm going to need to hold onto this position, and I can contact the way from the next.
I'll just manage to hit the gush onto the hole, and I'll click headshots, it's collapsing.
Pressure on Sizzy, it's a final clear plan by MPL though.
Don't get this back, please, to finish it off.
Pressure on to the back of the site, nice from Sizzy, hit that first headshot,
needs another one on there.
Hit it, nice shots, but still comes down to a 1v1.
the world and back again for a higher stand-up work from Sisi again
impacted in another pissed-around that's too over the course of this series where he's
really delivered for his team when necessary another 3K this is sort of a
treason and giving him the p2 50 by the setting him up which is
I said these are the actual confidence in his output this gets messier
Give it to what's ruins, right?
These pistols just gonna kick the papa on you
and he's gonna back flip.
He's gonna win away, making.
To use instead of himself there,
and finally MPL's have a response,
but it's all about this.
It's about the conversion.
We've been here before.
Half to get this one.
Some of the more notorious, they're difficult rounds.
Even if you have won the round,
have the financial advantage on the weapon rate.
Yes, you never want to run into a stack, right?
You're also getting blocked by you, too.
You know that they're trying to set something up.
They're probably moving between the wickets here.
It is perfectly outlined with all these extra nades.
So the biggest problem is,
bait find no space that they get eye-stow.
And then with the last 20 seconds,
they're essentially running into the stack.
They need to avoid that.
So let's not eat.
Kind of got more where that came from.
You can try to act like you solo once more.
They see the knife.
And they're not, but the problem I have with this is they're not leaving a contingency, right?
It's very packed roll, which could work out for them, right?
They could just throw into A and they walk over Molodeoie and that'll be there.
But in a situation where it's not a sight stack and there's more of a 2-3, and there's no way out
after they do get denied on an entry.
No side, no, no, no, no, it's been spotted out.
I think this is looking great.
I can't get past the Mac 10.
OK, so I'll have to do this again.
Right, we'll be furious just operating on the save right now.
The bomb will go down.
The round is essentially secured at this moment.
It's actually clear.
Now it's going to be about getting past this again.
So the first test passed.
The second one is going to be just as difficult.
Okay, over the time I'm here, is it?
Right, oh, right, oh.
I really wanted to do like the kind of latin, you know, more, almost be the only
sancti, but I don't know what it means or what it is.
I put the news together, it's up for us.
Yeah.
Oh.
He's still jumping.
Oh, come on, man.
Just let you get inside the gym.
That's the boss you never rest.
Listen, boys, I'm going to sit safe.
You guys do the jumping.
Okay, this is what we're talking about.
It's just a two round game, but this point.
Now I'm not going to say it through the easy.
It's going to be a very, very tough map to work back into.
Regardless of if they get this one converter right now.
I want to know, it's Saturday the 14th of February.
The Chad was optimistic.
Well yesterday was the 13th kind of as a Friday.
Right.
We got past that one.
Yes.
And I got the number 13 when I dropped my jacket off.
Okay.
And the 13th.
It's all coming together.
Lucky number.
Here is what he's here.
He's spot out one.
He's a bait model in here.
No?
Yeah.
There if I look at him, this is a real problem of definitely just a loan.
Get to it and oh, the tag-hats are strong, Nick!
I mean, you talk about them having plans.
There's a plan.
That was a little date and switch.
Yep, and this is what I'm talking about.
These rounds are tough.
These are tough, easy rounds, even though it looks like they should have everything.
All day, walk away with nothing.
Moldaroid was the only one to go down the previous.
To herself, three kills of this up to 18 frags in total.
and has just thrown the comeback conversation well and truly into the bin.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Okay, so that's the one that's thrown at the flash timing.
I mean, it's sharp and Friday.
I will be clear like that.
It's only funny because it's not me.
I would be frothing.
Absolutely furious.
Do you want silver lining?
Yeah.
That's the optimist.
This is a great day.
You saw it right around right?
Today, the body's alive in the second round.
Does get them back in, with a competitive fight.
OK, so do you like that?
That is a silver line.
So even though they dropped to the same as on the force,
they can still go again.
All right, just.
So we can go, okay, cat in the mouse game, Seth, you'll...
He's down in urine now, it's just mulled right now.
He's been looking good, he's been looking Chris, he's been doing it on the right.
He's playing the first of the long run before.
He's a great player there.
He's a KK47, he's starting away.
But how nice work.
Come Alex, put awareness.
We'll let anything go too crazy, a full T-nace from T-n-Bate.
Okay, so we'll be able to buy, again, so both teams was in silver lining, but loving it.
If you're going to be able to buy back in because they won essentially the E-code,
I understand that it has carried over armor, utility, and some upgraded pistols,
but sell that one, they didn't heavily invest, so you're going to see them,
equipped the A to be paid for Molotoy rifles for everybody else.
It's just falling down to the famous, you're going to have a clear on-case router.
You're starting 3B?
No, well it's trained on the midline.
Yes, it will.
Spot it on that shoulder big.
Don't flash it in with it.
Falling in the mean time's game.
Supported by your gender.
Right next to each other in that smoke.
Oh, for them.
Maybe give me exposed against the f**k into it.
Oh my god, he's a C2 agent!
You'll see, but I don't get to see how he's not going to fire up the gate.
Still, what I'm done!
For your kinder, no accelerations, everything's cool, everything's calm.
They're your man-of-lanted.
You're basically going to quickly.
You know, the Molledoy, have the AWP.
It has a early exchange of mid-away, you had to flash him off the line.
Case right at the rotating piece.
I'm going to walk you down back at the side.
Whether you'd expect him to be side-side or CT side, that's the kind of debate.
Well, regardless, I think with the U2 you have,
just to be finished, where you smoke coffins,
you smoke CT, and then,
since you can use this malware every once,
you can use it for first oranges,
you can use it for emo, you could just hold on
to where you don't even have to use it.
But if you go in right now, and you could spacing,
you should be able to trade them out, right?
Because you're essentially just isolating the site.
Here comes the U2.
He's no, it is case where I'm not going to be feeling full and victim to that monitor off.
No.
We'll be able to play through the new boss position. It is going to be a one versus three for him though.
Safe and sound.
That's a fight. What a clear.
Sissy, the bomb on his back no less just goes and does it the hard way.
The fact he's had to do that on his own with the bomb in that situation.
Maybe good ago now they can travel, but hit the shot.
And confirms the rounds. So just the one round game. And now the finances are in a little bit of trouble.
2400 into the next.
Although we'll be able to drop a rifle.
You can do whatever to buy himself.
And you're either the same.
So...
Can't get out another buy.
What's up, is that?
All those own all. Okay.
I'm not really big on you know, too.
I just want to see.
But once I see it, I'll remember.
Yeah.
He's been dropped off so often, you know.
It's often in the bindies, aren't I?
I'm just glad that I see like a main or a pawn,
not falling into this dragon lore propaganda.
Do you know?
I'm not even so good.
Make his own choice, he's got.
That's the point where they're okay.
I'm not taking.
I'm still on the mic.
I mean, as far as the checklist for a competitive second map here, it really didn't
look like we were going to get one at the start of this.
It was eight to two.
Yeah, eight to two.
They were running out of them.
They were hunting them down.
And we're having dogs.
And it's the second half, you know, you've got the pistol, you've got your conversion
and you've won the gun off the back of a lost round.
So you feel pretty good about your chances here.
So it's just taking a partial guarantee in the bind to the next of the 2900,
they're not just going to shove them throughout all the way,
but this is a great opportunity again for baits to be able to time things up.
They've already had a fumble this.
Only round their gossons are fumble.
The P250 are a hard-trash, all over the multi.
Oh, oh, I'm not going to have a lot to deal with.
Lots of content is to have a track forward.
I'm in a place.
It really has comfortable.
This is you found fallen.
Intensive to boost over.
Moldo and might be exposed.
Yes, he is big fine.
He's dead, not for success.
That's going to be very frustrating if you'm all right.
You didn't even get a chance to plow the round with the A to B peak.
Case right away we'll take it now, sure.
Oh, Yuri feels like he's got too much to do here, throws out a nice block smog that will enable him to play a more forward position, hoping to catch apps if they move fast.
But with proper coordination, this is already a lost round for Furia.
The horse is going to no hurry, now the nature's going out.
Yuri cowering towards many people.
How's the position?
What's the position?
What's lying, E.K. connects to his head. Of course it's ours.
Nice from his center.
You know what it had to have been, uh,
Tempiedine Hall out of a decade right there.
Yeah, and there's been a few.
There has.
But I thought we were being optimistic,
so I thought I had to kind of follow.
No, I like it.
Gotta give it a go.
So they are looking to retain inside of you, Pete.
What do I vow just don't fix the problem?
Problem?
Kioshima?
No.
He's bloody flashbang.
Hang on in further.
You want to add a stick, sir?
He's calling him about it.
They're aware of it.
We don't have to fix it, sir.
The absurd is even giving me lists of buttons.
And I see mallet to him.
I don't think they read it.
They said they got it.
Red receipts on.
Come on, Ralph.
Plus, come on, man.
Plus, man.
Okay.
So you can carry through the MP9.
He's going to hold on to it.
Now he's not.
Okay.
I was going to say, it would cause fallen.
Can.
Fallen some bags.
It's done spawn.
Let me fly over and check.
Can they all work it out?
Okay.
You need to pinch those pennies?
All those going to try to hand them in again.
in the middle again.
I'm gonna show you some place. Sometimes with the YouTube from Bay, this is a little bit earlier.
just misses the mark right there, they throw it into CT smoke and it's a wasted molly.
So you're gonna have back to off.
This is classic problem on inferno. We've been talking about this for 10 plus years. It's been in the
black box. You don't have any banana control. You're gonna have brackets control. You're essentially
defending your sights, which means you could be 25 and the 3v5.
And you could get caught.
On the cheek, all fallen goes down,
scissor with an opening shot.
All the flash connected with the sound ring farther.
Alex has provided him.
We're going to see bait peek the lead.
And fury is map pick.
Oh!
Woo hoo!
That's completely still twitching in recovery from that one.
I think to hunt, trickling through CT's Ken's door, he's gonna definitely guard that A-WP.
I come on in the water's warm. You just lost the M4, full set of nades, and arm up. I think given you anything for free at the moment.
And you know, for bait is like, well, I did hunt us down. Let's give him the full treatment. Looks like a central could have him in time here.
that's that now would be a great opportunity with Yuri tucking in tight but that'll
be that okay one in four saved again it's all about the finances this is a huge run
it's four straight but it's six of the seven in this half of play on a game that was
eight to two and looking like they were just getting bludgeoned to death so the fact that
They're still in this right now and not only got there in the lead, but you could push this to the third dust, too.
How to round the corner just in three rounds to I if they could take us there.
Look at this.
There's a different smater.
He has definitely cooled off as he is the second half of play.
Okay, for it.
Okay, we're gonna make an actual, these Alex, they don't comfortable.
Quick flick, that's nice from all the way.
I'm hoping it killed for Fury that they must make good on.
Much of scavener into this.
Yeah, potentially.
You know, there's a lot of, you know, there's a lot of, you know, there's a lot of, you know, there's a quick one.
Just a tiny, sliver game.
Yeah, maybe more than always had enough of this.
Take care of it on his own, can still an Alex, the last man standing with a minute on the clock, so plenty of time I'm plenty of money, I think the game changes a little bit at this point.
If you're able to take away a couple of these rifles, so make it stressful and costly.
I'm just going to go for that lengthy say you've got 9k to send fuel everyone else around
the 6k mark sure it's going to be the 1400 loss going into this next one and they will
just part the bus or the bike you can get to those case.
I think Furio will give them the leash to hold on to these this time round.
Can't believe Furio it's just a different taste, isn't it?
Four consecutive rounds out of bait?
Yeah, I think that it's when you look at Fury and Crack on, they warmed into the event.
Right. So, I'm bouncing a little very shaky.
You get the langes, players are missing shots that they should be getting every day of the week,
where normally they'd get to, they'd get none, you think they'd okay.
And they're having some Molotoy carry performances, then through Crack off game,
and after game, they're taking steps up, so that's your path.
Okay, this is the team we know, remember,
but from that sprint to the tail end of 2025,
and then make it all the way to the ground final,
and they have some threatening moments against vitality,
And likely thinking about that still, right?
It's less than a week ago that will unfolded, but you need to get there to tussle against them again and to do that, you need to get past bait as your own game.
Today we've already had at 7 of the 8 best of 3s concluded this is the final one playing out right now.
And if you missed it, now the footmouse, phase, falcons, vitality, and the Mongols have all locked themselves into the ones that are a bucket that leads like to the strongs that roar a proud vision heroic, 3d max, G2 and pain.
And it's one of these two teams.
Here we are, I'm actually close up to our 1-0 bucket, we want that to be good.
Order has a good mid-sport again to tell the enemy you pay.
He's got a head to head against Sizi.
I'm going to the sand on this, I'm not going to be that, so it's not a catch-up on the
last day like this.
I said, dude, it has been getting this room.
Now I'm identifying that, they'll, I quicker on mid.
I'm going to flush this, oh my god, it's going to be just on a way with the cover of
It's got a good reputation in the last part.
He's already there.
Key to off the lines on the scene.
He does chip in for one before MPL finds him.
He's dead across far to break, and it's not easy.
He does bait the shop as MGL, and ship from the apartments as well.
Yeah, it's great.
Oh my god, it's down here. He's there.
Quick, double.
I'm sitting spotting up by all of this.
This is one, and we're not getting another chance to pull the trigger.
You can do three in the round.
Yeah, Molo do you re-excuse me. He goes down in that situation. It's a whole different route. Right? The rotation is rapid
I'm looking at the radar. They're coming in the throttle flashes over library to a assist
But he gets away and they even drop a Molotov that just slows them down on porch side
It was an all-in essentially right that was a perfect flash for the way Molo do was it's just
I'm able to find that first kill on him as he retreated as well
Is in San Dere then of course slowing them down as my life as always it makes me right coming up that short side
especially with the round slows down and it's that early in the peace late round when they're
strung out they don't have naith they can't block you dip on banana
big lift
two here to receive fallen and your kingdom playing forward
chances are still enough
level apps set up as well so they kind of change that movement and start
can't happen again
Oh, they're going for the three.
All of the spams that they've totaled,
removes the base unit.
This is all they've done.
I'm not as old as now.
We can find a forward on the jiggle of the central spot to see what else.
You're all the way to the right.
And you go swing into his demise.
Okay.
I'll go competitive for a moment, dinner.
It did.
Made to two, to 12 to 10.
Off to these with the final display.
I like to get this something, but a minute, just under on the clock.
You know, Fulner would have to over, like, misplay those.
Yeah, you have to swing your thighs. I need to set up the 23.
So dodge the break.
I'm going to have to spam support even connecting onto the smog walk of Alex.
Yeah, box in.
I really had back my avoid as pressed the way down middle with the AWP.
And people hope you'd hold on to this.
Worst case, but here we'll be going down at the time on the T-side.
It's this angle from Mollodo and it looks best in further finish it.
Alright, 24 and 14.
Yeah, I mean, just Mollodo thinks.
It's a carry performance, do we?
We've seen time and time again, even just this year.
Yeah, I think in the first time, right, you can have a couple of key rounds in moments where it's thought maybe back you get something going.
Also in bit of a nuisance there on the hunt, but,
but see, watch him on the other way.
Supply himself on the server, always find us.
Yeah, the finances.
Finally, I've been wittled down to,
I don't mean four glills, one AK, and really not enough
you to to get things going.
So confident he can get a new play.
All the drops he's now, it's a rotate,
immediately away from beat.
Seems like it's a good breed as well.
from Hamilton to Lido.
I don't think I can handle it.
I'm not the opening kill for him.
The case of Rattis has a blood pressure.
The team's play is on display.
The flash is falling.
Something back.
Case of Rattis.
Excuse me.
Kens' all comes up from on-site.
Kens' a Rattis still flying on the apartment.
Because, wow.
Kens' all trying to hold on.
They're running into their demise.
And they cut up a pipe ofuria close.
they too closed maps but nothing to write home about they're going to be upset that they
didn't convert the Raj it was a real opportunity to pick up that one map we're
in to get the juices flowing yeah I think when you look at the details across
these maps mirage more so than in Furno some of these conversions that they weren't
able to get away with I think obviously in the second half you can say okay well
that was the first round of fury got on the board with their CT sides but all in
all some learnings but they we saw it's busy on display with the debut
If you rotate the wind, and we'll throw this one to reach it in the boys to close things down.
Yeah, and look, obviously, it was always going to be a tall order, a bit furious.
And you have to take positives where they present themselves.
And I will say for bait, they present themselves.
There are plenty of positives there that they can go back to the hotel tonight, and have a long think about.
If anything, you know, the Sanders, sorry, sent a sign to the rest of the teams.
The day our team to be reckoned with, yeah.
Of course, this is not going to be nice for bait, but taking through on two maps and making them hyper competitive
Even more so on the first map compared to the second I'd say, but still that's a good sign for for bait
Which I guess is a team, you know that we don't anticipate making the playoffs
So they're going to be in that category of maybe going one one
One two whatever and if that's the little they're going to bring to the table then I think they can win
I think I don't think actually the series was that competitive to be honest with you
You know, the scoreline says 1311, 1310, right?
But I feel like Fury was in control in both games, really.
And that when baked had opportunities to break them,
they just didn't.
And Fury stepped up and did well in those key moments.
And also from a little bit of player camps and everything,
it seemed like Fury had no point thought they were in danger
of losing either of these two maps, right?
Good for them to stay patient, not try to,
you know, going to rounds that were already sort of lost, saving their guns, especially
on infernal and it paved off in the end.
I'm not here all by the argument on second map here.
I think you've thrown all your life and I agree, you know, it didn't feel like you're at any
point, you know, visually at least from body language, it's at right.
I mean they definitely have to get that lost by the way.
Sure, but I think Mirash was a game where I could have on both ways at the very least.
But at another day, you know, I agree when you look at it to scope up the series, then no
for yeah, we're not in a position where they were going to lose and even if it would have been a third
night, I think we all agree that we've been not necessarily a walk in the park for
fair, but they would have found our way to win, but they were shredding for it a little bit.
Yeah, I mean, obviously as well, it's going to be a big tournament all long tournament.
It's been a long day if you've grown ones, but I know this system, you know, so obviously
the players have kind of been, you know, you've got to Marshall your resources, and if you
kind of get it done without really breaking a sweat, fair enough, and obviously it helps
when you've got to play like Mollody that we highlighted. For me, I actually think, and again,
I'm obviously discriminant because it's crazy because who am I, but whatever. You know, I actually
think if Mollody doesn't pop off and get those, you know, a couple of picks coming out of
apartments and they lose that round, I don't know if actually we're not talking about the third
I'm not right now, but he, for me, I think is just the best close quarters of like
in this very moment without, of course, talking about the mainstream.
Which makes it very fitting that he's on a team with Fallen, yeah?
Yeah, exactly.
I just love watching him, he's like, so good.
And when he's in the mood to take the fights, that's the key thing.
There's a lot of offers now that, like, you know, a bit passive, you know, if that's
fair enough, I'd never like that style.
I want crazy Kenny S levels, I'm gonna take fights.
One thing that is, I don't know if it's underrated,
but I don't know if it gets vocalized
that much it's his intuition for the game.
I feel like that's what you see
when you're watching him play that you don't always have to
to figure out all our capabilities in duration
for when to take fights, for when to be aggressive,
for when to re-acgress as you're seeing right here.
I feel like he has a good sense of that.
And we're not really talking about experience,
we're not talking about a player that has over the years
developed a style of playing AWP.
develop an intuition that is going to be tenfold.
What's all about a player who hasn't had a full year of playing professional
canis, like at this level?
And you can just see that I guess the talent and the base intuition from him is
at a high level and he's only going to get better with time.
I mean, if you took the main play off there and said, oh, this is a forage of
monacy from a couple years ago, I'll be going, yeah, that's a monacy from a couple years.
Yeah, fair.
Still has to learn how to take it easy.
Sometimes, you know, not over extends some of those
repeats, do get punished by the better teams,
but, you know, you'll always take that
for a young player and deal with it.
This time goes on if they can show, you know,
mechanical prowess and willingness to take fights
and not try away from the moment,
which is definitely more of that.
Let's take a look today's results, gentlemen.
First, this is what I've had on stream A.
These results that we've had over the course of the day.
Obviously, we started with Navi being a straw.
That's a tough, tall order for them.
I saw it and then if you blade,
we're saying you think that Navi can win trophies this year,
looking at the field.
So I want something with his hair.
Yeah, well, that's the goat right there.
That's one of the greatest coaches.
So if he thinks it fair enough,
my team that I love so much, P-vision,
I thought they were going to beat Malice today,
but they didn't.
So I lost that little wage in the green room.
But Vitality and G2 had an epic.
I mean, that was a game really worth staying up for and waiting for,
wherever you are in the world, really delivered on all fronts,
and obviously Fury versus Bait.
Any of those games you want to talk about?
Nothing really stands out in that regard.
I think we're at the FéWitz winning,
when it gets to set pervishing versus Mouses.
Interesting, because where is Mouses the moment?
Where is pervishing after what they did a month ago in Mouses?
How few weeks ago?
So I think that could have been a fun story if they were able to
to beat Nostrad thinning in the group stage warrior so I don't express it's a
stupidity that is going to be free result just slipping in height like nowhere
and then they're doing fact on it is fine it's fine this is the upset we have
foot beating Aurora phase crazily got a 2 0 over heroic you know
I mean also held their nerve against 3D Max and the mongles came back
your favorite team from pain, you know, I felt like the mongles.
They were 31 and 32, so I mean, I mean, obviously, we're going to talk about foot,
what a great win for them over an Aurora team.
Everyone was kind of saying, like, the broads hole fly in, they could be back, you know,
you know, they turned the corner.
Yeah, they beat Mousen Falcons in crack hole, right?
They will secure that quarter final birth, but here,
we did talk about them as the dark horse to make the play off, you know,
the young up and coming team, they're very energetic when they play hyper aggressive
on the server too and if you don't know how to handle that you're in for a long day
at the office.
I've seen this just getting better and better every time I see them, we saw them at the
blast, you know, put Friar on that lot of question that online game.
I gave them probably shorter one, ended up losing two to one, then in cracker of the
did well and getting off to a good start here as well, I agree, that was to make the
play off.
And as I see right now, it's seen that it's getting better game by game tournament
but tournament.
So what's up for?
this is what the bracket looks like as a result of those results. So you can see it
on my favorite graphic as I've always said, but look, they've made it bigger for me.
Actually it said Richard your myopic. Oh, you're even still looking at it. Yeah, they don't.
They know. It's like I like it's that it making my glasses big and if they've made
the graphics bigger, you can get right. Uncle Juniors from sopranos has got them for
me. But anyway, you can see there. Obviously, it's just day one in the books. So
not a lot to really look at. So we'll talk about the schedule for tomorrow, which of course
I'm going to start with doing the PGL event. We have two streams. You can pick which game you like.
We're working our way backwards. Bait versus heroic. That kind of takes on an interesting
complexion based on what we saw today. Aurora gets a chance of redemption against pain.
G2 take on P vision. On to versus Jane. That's an interesting IGL matchup. And then 3D
Max versus the Stralis, we're going to find out a little bit about the international line up of the Stralis
and what are the biggest things. Thoughts on those games?
I mean, G2 versus Paris, and I think that's a tough one to be on one and facing off against each other.
And then, I'm sorry, I was just looking at that Stralis versus three next game.
I'm like, the game that no one cares about in the system.
I can't find a way to do that.
I like this new look of Stralis. I think it can be an exciting team with some time,
enthusiasm, and you have been sort of doing better than I would expect early on in the
team. They look like they want to be there, which is always a positive. And yeah, for
G2, that's what we said to Banner, you know, they want to be there. I just want to
be a part of the season when I hear you've been there lies, you know. I just wish you
Schraulers said, you know, gone international when they had maybe a bit more money
has been. I think they missed a window where they could have got some of the players
when I was seeing the status themselves and see us to over the little bit of stuff. Like the
And they didn't see me, what it used to be.
And they said the least.
The same thing for G2, something that's, you know, flown under the radar is that they
fallen off in the VLS, right?
So now they're getting into these tournaments as a lower seed and they have to go up against
vitality in the first round.
They have to go up against PVG in the second round and many reason for that is to actually
don't have as many landmins in some of the other teams because they haven't played smaller
tournaments.
At the big ones, they struggled to get into the playoffs, they're usually beating weaker teams,
using to the better ones. So actually, this is a really important tournament for them in regards
to the VRS, in regards to major qualification as well and yeah, they need to do better and
step up against Paris and tomorrow. And so this is the main stream. This is what we'll be talking
about on the desk when you shoot in over the course of the day. No matter which game you watch,
this is what we're going to talk about. By the time it reverses, Mongo will seem to remember
And it's a little bit different now, obviously sends you, not among us anymore.
Copa is zero, it's just, you know, I think.
Just cobra today, so I don't know if you can.
Yeah, like, listen, drop the zero.
It's time, like, cold theory.
It was so long ago, please.
Stop with the zero in sandals.
Furious versus foot.
I mean, that's a, there's your rewards right there for an upset when you got take on Furious.
Falcons versus phase and other classic, so narratively strong, you know, obviously
Nico and Caragon old friends at this stage.
It's a group stage, so Nicole will own them.
Yeah, yeah, almost certainly.
Yes, so yeah, and that too.
And then Navi versus Miles to start the day.
So which games are you looking forward to there?
But I think that's a bang.
Now, there's this mouse.
At least from a competitive, it's called a competitive
integrity.
I think those two teams will match up against each other pretty well.
Let's see if Blade is right.
If Navi won a win trophies, one way of doing that
is by beating a team like Miles,
and then showing you can play on par with them.
And then you can see if you can unlock the next level,
which obviously is for an mortality
But the interesting game too to see the strength between you.
Yeah, in similar to some of these other teams,
Navi outside of the major hasn't really done that much.
You know, sharing crack-out the loose-to-spirit and fury,
but before that, I thought the tournaments
to the end of last year, losing teams like 3D Max
and so on and so forth.
I mean, we really don't have much to go on
for what the player is saying that they're going to be a contender
this season.
Yeah, I hope I've not misclot in them, by the way.
Yeah, I'm not, but that's exactly that.
I've been putting it in for 12 years, but also said that they got really screwed by the map all changed because they put in a ton of work on train that was like one of their main two maps coming into the season.
So they got hurt by that and probably put us panoring the works, but you have to figure it out and tomorrow they have a good opportunity to prove themselves against mouse.
Alright, gentlemen, fun hanging out and the thanks to all of you at home for your energy and your
view of the ship and staying with us. Over the course of a long day, but it was worth it
in the end, in my opinion. And with that in mind, make sure you tune in at the same time tomorrow,
as PGL Cluesnapoka continues. We'll see you then.
