LDLC see off fnatic

24-1-2015 02:43

LDLC have picked up their first points at MLG X Games Aspen following a 16-9 victory over fnatic on de_inferno.

Albeit being a traditionally very slow team on the Terrorist side, fnatic came out very determined and claimed bragging rights first with a no-nonsense B push. After losing the first eco round only because the bomb went off at the last millisecond of a defuse, LDLC pulled one back at the second attempt following a triple Nova kill from Nathan "⁠NBK-⁠" Schmitt.

The two teams then exchanged a couple of rounds and parity was restored at 3-3, but then LDLC took control of the match and picked up two rounds in succession. Jesper "⁠JW⁠" Wecksell then took matters into his own hands and pulled off an impressive four-kill round, which included a 1-on-2 clutch in A, but Vincent "⁠Happy⁠" Schopenhauer responded in convincing fashion with four kills of his own in the following round.

LDLC remained in the driving seat for the remainder of the first half as they went into the interval up 11-4, knowing, however, that they were going to play on the lesser-favoured Terrorist side.

fnatic found a lifeline in the pistol round as they executed a great retake in B to put an end to LDLC's winning streak, but Markus "⁠pronax⁠" Wallsten's men were then caught off-guard by the Frenchmen's B push on eco.

LDLC continued to pile the pressure on fnatic and won the following two rounds to make it 14-5 in their favour, but fnatic refused to throw in the towel and closed the gap to five rounds. However, it was too little, too late, as LDLC strung two rounds together to seal a 16-9 win and keep their qualification hope alive.

Why don't you guys stop using players names? Who the truck is Cervoni, Wecksell? Is this a political newspaper or a gaming article? Jesus. Forgive my bad English, no time to check spelling.

happy man just Happy

why they keep saying clg can advance with a win against liquid?? fnatic can still rape them 16-0 right?

6 replies

Yep, if ldlc and fnatic and clg end up with 2 wins and 1 loses it's all about rounds difference, i really hope fnatic and ldlc gets to the quarter final!

me too, no offence to clg but i don't think they can provide such entertaining games as the other two

imho clg just got lucky i dont see them pulling that off again

Very confusing I think you are right though if its a 3 way tie it goes to round diff.

Yes it is quite likely that they'll end up 3rd in the group if they don't win big against Liquid.

Ldlc should win big against liquid(map inferno/nuke), and fnatic should do the same against clg

Thank you French guys for 170 value :) !!

flusha mvp for LDLC

2015-01-24 12:02

nice, go LDLC! <3

Flusha forgot how to bind his aim-lock key RIP

WTF happened to flusha?

flusha's first bad game in a while, unfortunately

Where is flusha now without "mouse lifting" uahahahha fucking pig is so low..

what the fuck was that fnatic .. really..

I was wondering how do MLG manages ties, is it round difference or head-to-head first?

majorleaguegaming.com/competitions/83#ev.. Head to head. If CLG and LDLC beat Liquid, fnatic are out

2015-01-24 02:52

flusha can't lift his mouse todaay :(

he is tired so he cant HAHAHAHAHHA :D

hahaha flusha forgot how play?

ehmm, u realise that uk have no cs scene to begin with? ehmm, wtf are you want? just... wtf

lmao, i'm not the one being cocky and posting all over HLTV about how fnatic are going to smash LDLC.. nice try though.

2015-01-24 03:44

Said the british.

way to generalize an entire country. Have you guys even dental care?

cocky swedes, are you one of those? Dental care lol, i think you've been reading too much crap online, i'm not a northern monkey thanks.

2015-01-24 03:45

Calling other people monkeys and having the name Donkey Kong :D not a dig at you was just amusing

2015-01-24 11:56

:D, well people always seem to think English people have really bad teeth... I think they've seen too many pictures of northerners and none of people from down south ;)

2015-01-24 16:20

happy is finally happy

this year happy will be #1 fakk jo GT

french cs <3

flusha is strong like a new born he cant lift his mouse

fnatic are out if both CLG and LDLC win against liquid

depends on how much rounds LDLC gets against them doesnt it?

majorleaguegaming.com/competitions/83#ev.. Head to head first, so on any tie LDLC advances and fnatic drops out

wat that rulebook is a bit hard to understand for me tho care to explain? "If Head to Head Games Winning Percentage can’t break a tie, Head to Head Rounds Winning Percentage (Pool Play Rounds Won vs. Tied Teams / Pool Play Rounds Played vs. Tied Teams) will be used to break the tie." It seems to me, in case of everyone beat Liquid, the following outcomes can happen on FNC vs. CLG: if CLG takes 10 or less rounds -> fnatic advances if CLG takes 11 or more rounds -> CLG advances

2015-01-24 03:19

havent calculated that much tho also looking for a close match between liquid and CLG

2015-01-24 03:23

flusha playing on esea client in usa = gold nova master

damn I have this fan of Happy tag next to my hltv nick for more than a year now, it's been so unique back then, now its getting mainstream

Titan repeat

if happy continues this i think he could very well be the most complete player in go yet

Wonder how much krimz got paid not to shoot a bullet with that p90?

CLG destroy THROWNATIC pls

2015-01-24 03:02

Obvious throw (no cheating) by fnatic in a meaningless group match to be less blatant. Since now they ll play for staying in the tournament so they ll cheat and they ll win everything. You can quote me later.

nice one flusha, go renew your hack subscription ahahaha

2015-01-24 03:13

2015-01-24 11:03

:vvvv

If LDLC and CLG beat Liquid and fnatic beat CLG which is basically the expected outcome then it depends on rounds won since head to head CLG>LDLC>fnatic>CLG which is a 3 way tie. Dunno where you guys are getting your logic from. Round difference is stupid when you only play to 16 (rather than 30 rounds regardless of score) because of heavily sided maps like Nuke and Cbble. Though playing all 30 rounds has its issues as well. Round Robin isn't always the best format to use.
