Na`Vi take down Manajuma

Ladislav "GuardiaN" Kovács scored three quick headshots to win Na`Vi the opening pistol round on de_season, but Derek "dboorN" Boorn's one-on-two heroics tied the game at one.

After two save rounds Manajuma took over the B site, and forced Na`Vi to retreat and save their guns. Denis "seized" Kostin then scored two, followed by two more by Kovács, and Na`Vi got within one.

The Europeans tied the game at four, as Boorn loses a one-on-one by not peeking a defusing Kovács. Manajuma regained the lead though, as they took over B and forced Na`Vi to save weapons again.

Andrew "Irukandji" Timmerman's squad won two more to go up 7-4, including a quad kill round by Derek "desi" Branchen, and a triple kill save round effort by Sergey "starix" Ischuk.

Na`Vi then rallied behind a double from Arseny "ceh9" Trynozhenko, a triple by Danilo "Zeus" Teslenko and another triple from Trynozhenko on the final round, gaining a 8-7 lead.

Manajuma couldn't defend the B bombsite on the pistol round, and after surrendering the fourth round as well, found themselves trailing 7-13. Ischuk then clutched a one-on-one, extending their lead to 14-7.

Two kills by Boorn and Michael "shroud" Grzesiek got a round for Manajumas, but two entries by Trynozhenko gave Na`Vi map point. Boorn remained JUMAS' star, keeping them alive with another double.

Grzesiek and Kyle "minikerr" Kerr's doubles, followed up by two more kills by Boorn. At 11-15 Kovács had had enough though, winning an incredible one-on-three with a P250 to win the map 16-11.

Manajuma ran a bombsite A fake on the pistol round that saw Na`Vi get completeld fooled, but Kerr wasn't able to win a one-on-three in the B bombsite, and Na`Vi got up 2-0 to start de_dust2.

Trynozhenko scored three P90 kills against JUMAS' early buy, and Kovács scored an AWP double, as well as a CZ75 kill for a 5-0 lead. A triple by Grzesiek then got the Americans on the board.

Kovács and Trynozhenko mowed down Manajuma in A, and then a really smart play by Kostin saw him get two easy kills in the B tunnels to force JUMAS on a save and give Na`Vi a 8-1 lead.

Teslenko and Kovács split the pot on the following round, but Boorn finally won Manajuma their second with a one-on-two in B. Still, Na`Vi ran up a 13-2 half, despite Timmerman's triple kill on the last round.

Na`Vi won the second half pistol round as well, but another triple by Timmerman, this time with a Five-Seven, kept his team alive. JUMAS' upper B push then got them to six.

Boorn's triple won Manajuma another round, but three kills on two following rounds by Trynozhenko and Teslenko finally closed the map 16-8, and the series 2-0 overall.
