3DMAX edge dignitas; go to playoffs

26-9-2014 00:06

3DMAX have just prevailed in the overtime de_dust2 match with dignitas for the final playoffs spot, which ended at 19-17.

3DMAX and dignitas started off de_dust2 with exchanging the first six rounds evenly, but it was the Finns who got off to the right foot afterwards and started racking up rounds.

At the halftime, they were able to clinch a 11-4 lead as Terrorists, but dignitas replied with a won pistol and a couple of anti-ecos. From there on it was mostly a Danish show up until 12-12.

Towards the end 3DMAX got three rounds for a match point, but dignitas didn't want to give up and got back to take the match to an overtime partially thanks to Nicolai "⁠device⁠" Reedtz's four-kill.

Taneli "⁠disturbed⁠" Veikkola's killing frenzy was picked up by Mikko "⁠xartE⁠" Välimaa in the overtime, as he got ten kills throughout both of the sides, and 3DMAX were happy to proceed into playoffs with 19-17.

Who says they'll play fnatic? Don't they have to beat LDLC first

2014-09-26 01:12

11 replies

I know, they wont beat LDLC. But even if they do, the tournament is decided already imo

2014-09-26 01:18

Yeah, but there's always that chance of momentum, if they beat LDLC and go into the fnatic game with momentum/confidence, you never know what can happen. I'm just happy to see a Finnish team finally getting back into the top 10~ of the CS:GO Scene.

2014-09-26 01:23

True, but even with momentum the skill difference is just too big. Indeed, would be awesome to have a Norwegian top team aswell, kinda miss having a norwegian top team since the REAL era.

I actually thought that fnatic were a little to "shaky" vs dignitas on cache, they had two new things to use on that map (which they did), but they weren't connecting as a team. And the shots? I though that, at least, KRIMz and olof underperformed, and JW was capable of the best... and the worst. Maybe it's just my imagination, or it was to early on the tournament to judge. But I liked LDLC the most on the group stage.

2014-09-26 13:53

Yeah pretty much.. Specially REAL, i think that guy had everything to be one of the greatest players of all time. I remember watching him playing nuke on ramps and it was just as good as watching neo on train, absolutelly enjoyable to watch

2014-09-26 14:40

People would have said the same about them beating dignitas.

2014-09-26 10:51

fnatic needs to beat Titan first as well, my friend.

Its going be interesting final day!

G_G

WP 3DMAX. new top team??????????

If they keep playing like this, yes. Just pure skill in executions and aim. They could definately shake more then Dignitas, easy.

If it happends fiffy hating will stop and ppl will start to -natu +joelz or something. People doesn't understand that with out natu you can't create top finnish team.

2014-09-26 11:33

no one will ever say that, natu has been a legend for a long time now, he is a great player. very good game smarts.

2014-09-26 12:35

Finnish ppl have said that natu is overrated for long time ago. It was time when they did not perform good but natu was still in best team of finland. People said that they could be number one in world if they would remove natu.

2014-09-26 14:00

Well played boys!! Amazing performance

GG !!!!!

Fetish...what does he actually do apart from missing all awp shots ? Because we didnt see any strats..the match was like MM..get picks and then rush.

Fetish does all the callouts at the start and in the middle of rounds, he talks 24/7. :)

what callouts?nothing seemed to work anyways...device won them loads of rounds... Fetish needs to talk less kill more -.- And aizy needs to kill on LAN..

Are you actually serious, or are you just talking out your ass? FeTiSh is potentially the reason why Dignitas were ever considered a top team. Sure they have a lot of great talent in the team, but FeTiSh's calls has made Dignitas a team to fear, when it comes to them defending (a great example is todays game against fnatic, came back from 12-3 to 15-15). And FeTiSh usually carries his own weight, but everyone can have bad days. But you probably have never watched them play, before today.

2014-09-26 02:58

+1 for the strats part.. I still like fetish tho <3

2014-09-26 00:12

Looks like Dignitas thought this was a semifinal..

nice one

2014-09-26 03:27

Wasn't it a 11-4 lead for 3DMAX and not 10-5?

3DMAX <3

Never seen natu and the squad perform like this and on lan for that matter, wow... too bad for Dignitas but WP :/

2014-09-26 00:08

GG!

Awesome very nice performance so far 3dmax!!!

wp finnish boyS :DD

KHRN is just insane

FINALLY SOMETHING GOOD FROM WINLAND!!! Thats why these guys was invited to this tournament. I really enjoy all of their games but tbh +allu and +lanJOELZ = top10 ez

I wish people would stop saying +allu, this guy is so overrated it's unreal..

2014-09-26 11:10

2014-09-26 07:13

I have a feeling this is gonna be a LDLC - Titan final

That would be the best outcome but I think fnatic will take it.

Why would that be the best outcome? Don't you want the two best teams in the finals?

2014-09-26 10:38

I would want to see Titan and LDLC because they have the most to prove on LAN

2014-09-26 16:32

expected

aizy always bottomfrags, kick that noob cajunb is waiting for being brought back

Awesome ! :)

vod pls

its all about outaiming. there is alot of great aimers in Finland with or without team tho.

Not really. 3dmax had great teamwork and comms. Aim can only get you so far. Look at hellraisers.

2014-09-26 00:15

well played 3dmax, great game

biggest upset in a looong time, well played by 3DMax

dignitas not on point, missing so many shots, but gj 3dmax hope they keep it up

Too many unexpected results so far, 3dmax has potential to go even further

sadly, aizy needs to go.

dignitas again cant show their balls in OTs

fetish awful strat caller they nvr get over 5 rounds on t

2014-09-26 00:18

They just got 11 rounds as T. oO

How dare you come here with your logic?!

2014-09-26 05:18

Holy shit this is the time where I make a post that is the complete opposite of the typical "expected" posts. Mind-fucking-blowing. There is NO WAY Dignitas were playing with very much effort, they can very easily steamroll a team like this any time. I'm not sure whether I'm more surprised with 3DMAXX's performance (didn't see the game so its hard to judge obviously) or more disappointed with Dignitas for not trying/playing like total shit.

2014-09-26 06:16

3DMAX played out of their minds really.

2014-09-26 07:38

You didn't see the game and you're saying that Dignitas were playing total shit. Legit logic right there. Watch the game before commenting shit like this.

2014-09-26 08:30

2014-09-26 11:26

Perhaps you should read the words after the part that says "didn't see the game" - it says "so its hard to judge obviously" Dignitas is WAY better than that team by a longshot, so it's logical to assume that they did indeed play like shit while 3DMAX were playing at their best.
