Virtus.pro see off HR

Virtus.pro have secured a place in the Upper final of Group A following a 19-16 victory over Hellraisers.

As the home side, Virtus.pro are really expected to show what they are all about in Katowice and that this could in fact be their tournament. They did, however, get off on the wrong foot in this match, losing the pistol round, in which Emil “kucher” Akhundov picked up an ace, and the following two anti-eco rounds.

In gun play, however, it was a whole different story: Virtus.pro immediately turned the score around when they finally managed to buy some guns as the Poles were being pushed by Janusz "snax" Pogorzelski, who was getting a lot of important kills to his name.

As expected, HR were playing their traditional passive game on de_mirage, not taking too many risks and waiting to see how their opponents position themselves before deciding where to go. Virtus.pro were more than ready for that kind of set up, however, so it was with little surprise that the Polish side were leading the score 10-5 at the break.


markeloff's HR sent to Lower Bracket

HR came from the interval looking to close the gap and won the first two rounds, but then Virtus.pro's buy in the third round paid off and allowed the Polish side to take the score to 11-7. Some rounds were then exchanged, but Virtus seemed to have put the final nail in HR's coffin when the made it 15-10, only to see the former Astana Dragons side crawl their way back and take the game to overtime.

The Ukrainian team got off the brighter and once again took the lead in the game, but Virtus responded well and won the other two rounds of the first half following two great rounds from Janusz "snax" Pogorzelski and Jarosław "pasha" Jarząbkowski. Now on the CT side, Virtus.pro were able to pick up where they had left off, and so the Poles ran out 19-16 winners to secure a place in the Upper Bracket final.

Actually Markeloff was doing exact same thing against VeryGames last year... Only push A with smokes and flashes and every single round VG was retaking... Weird. But whateva, his choice. He looks kinda junky now. Wondering if it's lack of sleep or too much of something :D

He's old and professional enough to know that this is NOT a preperation (two tacts and lack of sleep).

I figured out that too. Even if you have perfect smokes, when you have just _2_ tactics, VP can read it easily

To be honest the impact that fox had was way bigger than markeloff's. apart from that, the polish guys had a tremendous improvement over the past months, still way behind of their 1.6 level though.
