Titan, TSM move on to LB final

28-3-2015 16:51

Earlier today Titan have defeated Na`Vi 2-0 (de_dust2 16-11, de_cache 16-10) to proceed to the lower bracket final, where they will be joined by TSM, who beat Virtus.pro 2-1 (de_cache 16-12, de_inferno 12-16, de_overpass 19-17).

The day kicked off with Titan and Na`Vi fighting for tournament life in the lower bracket semi-finals, with the first map being de_dust2. Kenny "⁠kennyS⁠" Schrub's sneaky position behind a smoke helped Titan get to a quick lead, which Na`Vi were unable to turn around, as they were heading to their CT side at 4-11.

Since Na`Vi exchanged rounds after rounds in the second half, they were too far behind, staring down the barrel at 16-11, 0-1 on their own pick.

Titan's map was de_cache, and the French-Swiss-Belgian team were looking to be the favourites to win the series thanks to a strong Terrorists performance, and win they did with an even stronger Counter-Terrorists side at 16-10, 2-0.

In the other half of the lower bracket, Virtus.pro were looking to improve from their yesterday's debacle with NiP, but they started off down 0-1 on maps after their pick, de_cache.

Four rounds on the Terrorists side of de_inferno didn't help things, but the Poles came back with a statement and a 12-1 Counter-Terrorists side to even maps out at 16-12 once again.

device and company move on to top four

de_overpass was the most nail-biting of all maps from the series, TSM managed to win 12-3 on their Counter-Terrorists side, combined with a second pistol, which was when Virtus.pro started coming back.

Round by round, Virtus.pro held on after being down 14-3, and they only let go for a single round before it was 15-13. Due to Wiktor "⁠TaZ⁠" Wojtas's VAC authentication error, TSM had to face a replay of the last round.

There Virtus.pro finished off the comeback and took the game to overtime, but they were soon stopped by TSM, who finally started getting Terrorists rounds and won 19-17.

ofc they played well, but i still think its more like VP playing worse than usual and not TSM getting strongerr than ever did u saw how many "easy" shots snax with byali missed? or neo who played out of his mind in Katowice now closing scoreboard everygame with less than 10 frags every map ^^

Did you see how many clutches VP won through silly mistakes made by TSM on Overpass? Atleast 4.

VP was lucky as fuck on CT side @ overpass, tsm played t side much better and rounds was much closer, vp couldn't even plant the bomb

Sounds like you're mad as well as clueless as you're not even able to come up with a counter-argument.

No reason to come up with arguments when talking to your kind, it is already clear how clueless you really are and stubborn. But here you have it. Yes the individual level of TSM have risen these last few weeks, when that being said, they are still not able to play as a team and rarely do they execute their strats very well along with giving backup. e.g. device letting xyp9x run first towards and enemy despite xyp9x being low. Result, xyp9x dies instantly and device dies right after and that is just one out of many examples from the todays game. TSM didn't figure out much and let pasha play from the same position over and over again at overpass, neither did they really use that VP was weakest on the B site - though it is very easy to counter. Their lack of teamplay is also one of the reasons why they loose so many 2on2's and clutch situations in general. Thankfully for TSM, VP wasn't playing to their normal standard compared with earlier times. They had to survive on individual play from different players to make the clutches on the CT side. Their T play was of course horrible and compared to how they used to play overpass with very great nades on the A site this was just a lackluster performance. Am I mad? no, annoyed, your argument towards jwbest shows you're a complete idiot, because in the end TSM didn't win because they played well, they won because VP didn't. Why so? because VP have shown they have that extra level, TSM never have.

That was the biggest load of dribble I've ever read on the internet, the fact that you call me a troll after writing something so stupid is hilarious. TSM played very well and deserve credit for such, the fact that you can't see the reveals that you're a complete moron. x

i am not swedish and gtr anyday anytime is better that kennys

The main factor is taht kenns is limited. What is he without an awp?

2015-03-28 17:48

He is a good rifler lol. He doesn't NEED an awp to perform well.

2015-03-28 19:41

hes an average rifler. defo not top 1

2015-03-28 20:05

I never said he was. you said, "What is he without an awp?", and I replied that he was a decent rifler without an awp. I never implied that he was the #1 rifler.

2015-03-28 23:50

yh but my whole point was to prove hes not top1 simply because hes only with an awp

2015-03-28 23:52

What does "hes only with an awp" mean?

2015-03-28 23:53

he is only top1 if he has an awp

2015-03-28 23:54

This is such a stupid and ignorant comment to make. KennyS has proved multiple times that he can perform well with an awp AND rifles.

2015-03-28 18:58

first time CarryS bottom frag -_-

Just goes to show that Titan doesn't NEED KennyS to perform well to win their games.

Because of 1 game? K

2015-03-28 17:11

You should look up the definition of 'need'.

cuz its truth =]

ex6 +16 what the fack is happening

2015-03-28 17:08

i have a feeling that stats will be different in next match vs TSM now

Great, so tired of watching VP

deserved for titan even though i feel a bit sad for navi :/

2015-03-28 17:19

Was quite interesting to see how few bombplants VP got compared to TSM. Seems like something they need to work on, it definitely gave TSM much more chances to win the match.

2015-03-28 17:27

Guys we should really call Maniac - Laniac now. He is rly good on lans,comparing to online underperform.

2015-03-28 17:31

TSM is great team, they won the bo3, but VP was really unlucky on dozens of rounds, it could go in their favour, but didn't. Next time prepare better + snax in good shape = will be ok.

2015-03-28 18:30

not gonna happen. i can bet with snax (now toxic instead good) vp ll never win any big lan.

why snax is toxic?

he lacks team spirit big time. his input to the game are just uber retarded vulgar and very primitive "jokes" not game related. he doesnt listen neo's calls (byali too). he never comes out with anything. just just play making mistakes. sometimes calling enemy spots and in breaks those not funny "jokes" like e.g. "i ll not give you high five, i want to take a dump". he is also passive agrressive sometimes. byali fail also but at least byali shows he cares and he tries to improve. snax's behavior after bad moves and losses is "so what? fuck you"
