Na`Vi 2010 overcome fnatic 2009

6-11-2013 01:06

The 2010 Natus Vincere lineup has defeated fnatic 2009 3-2 (9-16 de_inferno CS 1.6, 16-13 de_tuscan CS 1.6, 16-9 de_dust2 CS:GO, 13-16 de_dust2 CS 1.6, 16-10 de_mirage CS 1.6) in the EIZO CS forever showmatch to win 1,000€.

Today the likes of Harley "dsn" Örwall, Patrik "cArn" Sättermon and Rasmus "Gux" Ståhl made a brief return into the world of Counter-Strike, as part of one of the two legendary Counter-Strike 1.6 rosters.

First two maps in the series were played in CS 1.6, and the best teams of 2009 and 2010 split them up evenly, as fnatic gobbled up Na`Vi 16-9 on de_inferno, before losing an 11-4 lead on de_tuscan.

Third map was to be played in CS:GO, where the Natus Vincere lineup who competed together in the game reigned supreme and easily took down fnatic following a 13-2 counter-terrorist side on de_dust2.

Na`Vi defeated fnatic in the EIZO CS forever showmatch

The Ukrainian powerhouse had a chance to close out the series on de_dust2 in CS 1.6, fnatic's game pick after the map three loss, but couldn't hold on to a 10-5 terrorist lead, ultimately losing 13-16.

It all came down the Natus Vincere's choice then, which was CS 1.6, and map was drawn to be de_mirage. After a 6-1 lead as counter-terrorists, they lost all but one of the remaining rounds and changed sides at 7-8.

Second half was all Yegor "markeloff" Markelov and company though, as they rallied to win eight straight rounds before fnatic won their two, and secured a 3-2 series win with a 16-10 score on the final map.

2013-11-06 02:51

+1 even if they dont admit.

2013-11-06 06:19

csgo is okay but a big joke compared to 1.6

2013-11-06 10:51

yeah, because shoting throu the walls and minecraft graphics are way better.

2013-11-06 19:36

exactly

2013-11-06 19:59

Shooting through walls was one of the best elements of counter-strike. When wallbanging, there are tons of things to consider. Am I using the right angle? Can I afford to use a whole clip? Which opponent can be where, and when? Can I even bang at that particular spot? Which places do I need to avoid? Not only do you need to know all that stuff, but you also need to intuitively grasp when it's indicated. Is it realistic? No. But it is a great tactical element and it's pure fun when you make those ridiculous bangs happen. New players will never understand..

hl with homework lurp

2013-11-06 01:31

maybe na'vi needs to get back to their old lineup? xD

2013-11-06 01:36

NaVi swan song GG

2013-11-06 01:42

AWESOME GAMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! 1.6 <3

I've got it right, now i'm just waiting for the announcement.

2013-11-06 01:44

5 current pros vs 2 current pros and 3 people that hasnt played in ages. Fighting about the results of a friendly game is stupid stop crying swedes and ruskis. GGWP everyone!

2013-11-06 01:49

I fucking loved to see Gux back!! He was actually so decent in CSGO aswell though there was only 1 map played. Also f0rest very poor performance, some great shots were made but overall pretty bad :/ Na`Vi <3 Also come on Na`Vi reunite as when u fucking disbanded u were actually becoming top contender! Edward + markeloff leave AD and let Guardian + fox join it! NA`VI REUNITE PLEASE!

2013-11-06 01:48

I'd like to see NaVi reunite and have one of the original AD rosters reform too. NaVi shouldn't have split up. They were together for a long time, just like fnatic were back in CS 1.6 and the same with how VG and NiP are right now in CSGO.

2013-11-06 01:53

Actually Na`Vi always struggled in CSGO but u remember when they lost to NOSTALGIE in Prague? Then they split up cuz well it was pretty disappointing but they were actually just becoming AMAZING, 1 more month and they probably would've become world top1 in my eyes.

2013-11-06 02:00

I agree, my apologies if I mis-worded anything haha. But yeah, I'd love to see rosters stick it out together for months or years. They can't expect to become as good as they were in their previous version of Counter-Strike (any semi pro / pro in general from 1.6 and/or CS:Source) that took them years to get good in. Like their previous skill in the older game(s), it will take time to improve.

2013-11-06 02:14

upload demos please :(

mTw 2008 vs Na'Vi 2010, will be good.

I was thinking exactly the same but mTw 2008 (css) vs verygames 2010

2013-11-06 02:17

thats not quite the same

2013-11-06 02:26

same things that are totally different from each other

2013-11-06 02:53

that's around the time dav1d started playing for mTw right? lol, he was a hacker, don't foret about it, what will be the point of the match

2013-11-06 03:35

NaVi raped mTw in 2010 >.<

2013-11-06 03:13

i told 2008 not 2010 mTw!

2013-11-06 13:12

Different lineup, man. He's talking about the (arguably) best team of 2008 (ave, zonic, Sunde, mJe, whimp). Back in 2008 mTw wiped the floor with the teams the Na'Vi guys played for.

2013-11-07 23:36

Expected but navi shouldve won on that dust2 game.

Just to note, dsn has retired like 2 years ago and carn 1? While other Na´vi players have been playing hardly and it even was 2:2 on CS 1.6 lol

2013-11-06 03:04

But all 5 from Navi didn't play 1.6 through all this time. Could be that GUX, Carn and DSN did.

2013-11-06 07:48

Left the stream when it changed to CS:Casual

2013-11-06 03:12

HLTV.org admin logic: *people bash GO: ban *people bash 1.6: ?????? gG

2013-11-06 03:15

2013-11-06 05:44

Dunno...as you might know i pretty much bash CS:GO quite often ...yet i'm not banned.

2013-11-06 07:42

your comments get deleted

2013-11-06 11:45

some do, some don't. Getting deleted != getting banned.

2013-11-06 12:03

" Getting deleted != getting banned" You don't say ?I was obviously only talking about comments getting deleted, most of mine have been.

2013-11-06 12:04

same here u.u

2013-11-06 18:00

I got banned several times.

2013-11-06 18:15

yeah but you're an idiot, there's a difference criticizing a game with actual facts and evidence and flaming a game with no rational thought. I've seen your comments, I vaguely remember reading them and thinking you're a retard. and im from 1.6 btw

2013-11-06 19:22

right...

2013-11-07 18:44

real

2013-11-06 09:08

Well they shouldn't bash the game because a proper argumentation you have arguments so that the forum stays at a certain intellectual level and not some sort of kinder garden. Both are wrong and i think you are just mad by writing this. If you are unhappy with posts of users because you think it is disrespectful you should report that user. You shouldn't forget that many times they ban evade too with new accounts. I never got banned in this site and i write too much**

2013-11-06 13:18

CSGO is a simplified and casualized version of CS. come at me admins

2013-11-06 15:12

if it wasnt 1.6, this site would have never existed just sayin

2013-11-07 00:50

Aight now let's get NoA vs NaVi, I'd pay to watch that

2013-11-06 03:34

the best game

2013-11-06 03:41

How I can watch ths match now ?!

2013-11-06 03:50

GG.

2013-11-06 03:53

So how many winners are actually drawn?

2013-11-06 04:02

Good action :-)

2013-11-06 04:08

Great game! 1.6 forever!

2013-11-06 05:20

Best cs version.

2013-11-06 05:26

plz fix volvo

2013-11-06 05:45

best game probably

2013-11-06 12:08

lol navi got noobpwned, they had all active players and fnatic had retired ones =)

2013-11-06 06:55

They played 5 retired 1.6ers VS 5 retired 1.6ers for 4 maps.

2013-11-06 07:33

Thats such bullshit, 3 out 5 fnatic member almost dont player CS anymore where all the players of navi are still playing actively although its on a different version.

2013-11-06 13:20

That actually doesnt make any difference coz Na`Vi players are more used to CSGO , and believe me after playing almost 1 year of CSGO without 1.6 its very hard to go back to 1.6 , while fnatic players are used to that physics

2013-11-06 18:18

Thats such bullshit, theyve played 1.6 for several years, the recoil is still in their musclememory, just as the usage of physics. Their not that rusty as Gux, DSN & carn are.

2013-11-06 18:29

who cares man? it was just showmatch anyway...

2013-11-08 13:36

ggwp

2013-11-06 07:49

2013-11-06 12:42

such a great game, so sad its gone and we're now left with the steaming pile of turd that is CS GO. arcade rubbish. wish there were still 1.6 tournaments!

2013-11-06 09:16

Haven't played 1.6 in like 10 to 11 years. It's amazing to see what the graphics are like... it's not how I remember it at all. I guess you look back with rose tinted glasses.
