iBUYPOWER beat dAT Team

14-8-2014 17:09

iBUYPOWER live to fight another day at ESL One Cologne following a 16-6 victory over dAT Team on de_cobblestone.

The pistol round began with the teams trading kills in the Skyfall area, leaving just two men alive from each side. The remaining players from dAT Team, who were playing on the T side, were able to plant the bomb in A but were extremely low on health, so they were easy prey for their opponents.

dAT went for a full buy in the third round and that strategy bore fruits as their players wrought havoc in B, especially Egor "⁠flamie⁠" Vasilyev, who landed three kills. The Russian team then equalized the score on two rounds and came close to taking the lead, but fell victim to their own passive playing style as they ran out of time.

swag leading the scoreboard yet again

With the score 5-2 in favour of iBP, dAT opted for a straight B push and were completely slaughtered by Braxton "⁠swag⁠" Pierce’s AWP and Sam "⁠DaZeD⁠" Marine’s M4A1. In the following gun round, dAT went for another slow play, this time in A, and were once again taken down, this time by Tyler "⁠Skadoodle⁠" Latham and his AWP.

dAT still tried to get back into the game with a double from Andrey "⁠B1ad3⁠" Gorodenskiy and a triple from flamie in the 13th round, but swag kept the Russians at bay in the following round and powered iBP to take a resounding 12-3 lead into the second half.

In the second half, dAT managed to close the gap by winning the opening three rounds, but in the first gun round iBP proved their superiority, with swag getting an early AWP kill from the tower before his team planted the bomb in B. Despite dAT’s efforts, there was little they could do to stop the North American side, who ran out 16-6 winners.

swag carried ibp while flamie couldn't carry dAT, but he played very well.

3 replies

Yeah but compare swag's teammates stats to flamie's teammates stats. There's a limit to how much you can carry :P

2014-08-14 17:11

The youngsters is carrying ;)

Difference is, the rest of IBP were doing their part. None of them were playing poorly, just playing decently. Flamie was the only real one on dAT doing damage, with ub1que chiming in with some entry frags here and there.

2014-08-14 17:12

so sad to see flamie go out like this

swag the carry

He was AWPING....

2014-08-14 17:53

he was awping. You, Mister iWatchAllTheMatches

2014-08-14 18:06

KennyS is AWPing all matches and has 32.5%, GuardiaN is AWPing all matches and has 32.2%, Markeloff is AWPing all matches and has 36.9% HS percentage. Swag aims just into a body, cubek if he is bad at head aiming it's not my problem. Twat.

2014-08-14 18:40

I think it's a typo, I saw him doing quite some headshots :<

2014-08-14 18:33

dat team best team

+1 Forever!

2014-08-14 17:38

WorldEdit too nervous, first LAN?

He was the MVP at Voronezh Cup.

2014-08-14 17:14

Voronezh Cup had many top yeams, right? lel

2014-08-14 17:17

USSR, Hastag, HR, 97club are pretty good.

2014-08-14 17:31

Yes, pretty much, 1st big lan, so its okay...

and ppl thought dAT have any chance to win this match LOL

Maikalelelele, just an FYI, flamie is even able to TOP frag on the losing side getting closer to 20kills having only won 3rds throughout the whole 1st half vs the best in the states... Can u do the same on LAN? ;) Kappa, no offense :) Just really felt liek saying it :) P.S. Delpan, my friend, do you have any other questions? Ill be more than happy to answer for you! Another Kappa I felt like saying :) gg dAT anyway... U proved everything already to shut those kids up who were saying BS regarding online results...

only flamie proved himself, rest were shit WorldEdit sucked throughout this 2 matches very hard, but online he was killing everything with awp :)

2014-08-14 17:15

WorldEdit did exactly the same at Voronezh Cup as what he's been doing online for a long time. Everybody plays poorly once in a while, and considering an event as big as this was the international debute for WorldEdit I can imagine him having more nerves than most of the other players at this event who have a lot more experience from playing major events.

eksem > worldedit

2014-08-14 17:27

eksem in cologne?no,so

Unfortunately maikelele probably can do even better than this.

2014-08-14 17:16

Thats true, why are we still waiting to have yet to see that from him then? Ohhh, I guess cause he failed to qualify and fell short to the hands of a better and more prepared team during that SPECIFIC moment and time coming into the match as GODS underestimating the opponent where it mattered a lot ----> pleeeeeeeeeaaase my frieand youtube.com/watch?v=dcP2mdnYbcw <3

2014-08-14 17:19

dat are just some randoms and will never do anything wtf are you want dude ? only flamie is good, and makelele is as good as him so...

Relax and breath... 1st oi58.tinypic.com/2a9wro6.jpg 2nd youtube.com/watch?v=dcP2mdnYbcw Get some fresh air my man!

2014-08-14 17:34

You don't have to wait, he's already done similar feats at other LANs he's been to. He is the star of a pretty under whelming team and should be a hero in the community, but unfortunately he's a cunt...

2014-08-14 17:52

22-20 wowowowowow

If this map ends up in the finals (don't care which teams).... Sigh

flamie 16 kills while his mates 6 shame

7.7 HS :D

he played with AWP on ct side

2014-08-14 17:18

on cbble it is pretty imba i'd say

2014-08-14 17:23

Yeah, let's nerf the AWP on cobblestone ONLY.

2014-08-14 17:39

Swag just aims on body and it works

Well that's what you do when you play with the awp :P

He got alot of kills with the AWP.

told ya this duo cant do a shit

swag went in hard. even against fnatic he went in.

flamie good player, will see him in a better team soon enough

2014-08-14 17:20

like who? russia doesnt have good teams LOL

After watching flamie god like performance, Virtus Pro soon drop NeoTaZPashaByaliSnax and pick up the former dAT Team. HLTV have acknowledged.

2014-08-14 17:32

but ukraine does

2014-08-14 17:58

swag should change sgares finally

flamie second best score, with their team playing way less ct side rounds ... nuff said

iBP beat which team? iBP beat dAt team, lol

I noticed flamie got some sick aim.. He deserve a better team.

2014-08-14 17:29

If this was the old iBP before they stole swag from coL, they would of been knocked out. ex-coL essentilaly won this game for iBP. I don't expect them to go further.

yup. hiko,nothing,semphis,swag,and shroud could of been the SICKEST rifle team on the planet..(on paper) but whatever c9>ibp

2014-08-14 17:57

People always wondering how far could ex-coL really go if they didnt lose swag. They didnt have a chance to bootcamp before Katowice, and swag's internet died for like the whole week at that time. They still took a map from NiP and nearly took down NiP on train. On behalf of that, make me love the current C9 more than iBP. You can always feel the courage and passion from the team and they always make unbelievable results, depanding on their line-up. I know many people including me never feel the confidence on SeanGares, but he did show up very important performances on both DHW2013 and Katowice 2014. Now they have Shroud, nearly the same young talent as Swag back in 2013, I really wish them the best.

wait so let me get this straight, ibp could have gone home without playing any map besides cbbl? seems a little crazy

2014-08-14 17:33

Never have russians been so happy about losing

2014-08-14 17:35

Russians happy they didnt choke Kappa

2014-08-14 18:46

sad for dAT but pretty much expected as their is only so much u can do without bootcamp vs a better team in terms of teamplay as aim both teams are pretty equal

2014-08-14 20:17

great showing by flamie, i definitely expected his performance to be reasonable considering the experience he has garnered over the past year.

2014-08-14 21:15

after ESG vs daT online, i alrdy called that daT would get trashed 0-2 here. They didnt disappoint.

2014-08-14 23:07

They already exceeded expectations by qualifying, and they were far from ridiculous. If you want to see ridiculous, check out NBK kiling himself on catwalk while his team is leading 15-14 before loosing the game in double overtime...
