LondonC no match for LDLC

14-8-2014 12:31

LDLC.com have progressed to the Upper final of ESL One Cologne's Group B following a 16-2 beating of London Conspiracy.

LDLC, who picked the CT side, came out the brighter and won the pistol after retaking the A site while losing just one player, with Hovik "⁠KQLY⁠" Tovmassian getting three rounds to his name. After losing the first eco round, London Conspiracy went for a full buy, but their strategy failed to produce the result that they expected even though they were given a free entrance into the ramp room by the Frenchmen.

LondonC then went for another eco before buying again, but they kept being pushed back by LDLC.com. This is the pattern that was established until the ninth round, which was when the Norwegians finally managed to out play their opponents: after rushing the A site, the remaining two .no players dropped down the event and won a 2-on-3 situation, with Håvard "⁠rain⁠" Nygaard picking up two kills.

Many expected this to be the turning point, but LDLC quickly regained control of the match, which meant that LondonC's economy took a huge dent. The Norwegian side still tried to get back into the game, but they only managed to win one more round as they found themselves down 2-13 at the break.

apEx with a +8.33 K/D ratio

LondonC knew they had a mountain to climb to turn things around, and things took a turn for the worse right after as LDLC picked up the pistol round thanks to a quick ramp rush that was followed by a plant in A. The French team went on to win the next two rounds, this way sealing a comfortable 16-2 victory that puts them one victory away from the playoffs.

There was an official article idk if it was on HLTV or ESL.one site that there was no knife... not even in playoffs if i'm not wrong.

Then i think it is just plain stupid to have a map like de_nuke in this bo1 format.

Yea but doesnt that still make it super random? how do they decide on what team should start on what side?

2014-08-14 12:56

" Also, knife rounds will not be played, sides will be picked by the team vetoing first." Wow, that is really retarded with the new randomveto system.

2014-08-14 12:57

Kniferounds are really random too.

G3 fluke

apex tank lol

apex stronk

It's nuke ffs, ofcourse one team will rape the other.

how about epsilon raped HR on inferno? is it "ofcourse" also for you? haha. "one team will rape the other" if that 1 team is playing far better than the other team ;)

ldlc dominating lc, still uzzzziii on a 0.5 kd almost..

2014-08-14 12:36

Ldlc looked really solid, and LC looked just frustrated and unable to do anything. Skurk needs to step up at LAN, he was not good at g3 either. Really though, imo this tournament setup.. I don't like it. Stupid to have every team play one bo1 match the entire day.
