Virtus beat TSM to win CPH Games

5-4-2015 00:14

Virtus.pro won Copenhagen Games 2015 following a 2-0 victory against Team SoloMid (16-14 on de_cobblestone and 16-10 on de_inferno).

Having come from the Upper Bracket, Virtus.pro came into the series with the advantage in the veto process as they got to pick the first map and make the first two vetoes.

The first map of the series was de_cobblestone, where Virtus.pro got off to a flying start on the Terrorist side by winning the opening five rounds of the game. The two teams then exchanged a couple of rounds, but the Polish side regained control of the proceedings and went into the break leading by seven rounds.

Many expected that Virtus.pro had this one in the bag, but Team SoloMid crawled back into the match with some good offensive moves of their own and brought the game to a 14-14 stalemate, when Wiktor "⁠TaZ⁠" Wojtas's men picked up two rounds in a row to close it out.

Snax had some important rounds on de_inferno

Next up was de_inferno, which followed a similar pattern to the previous map as Virtus.pro were sitting on an 11-4 lead after the first 15 rounds. Team SoloMid then found a lifeline as they won the pistol round thanks to a triple kill from René "⁠cajunb⁠" Borg in the pistol round as CT.

An incredible ace from Nicolai "⁠device⁠" Reedtz in the back of the A site during the first gun round kept TSM's momentum going, but just when the Danes were getting within touching distance of their opponents, Virtus.pro upped the pace and strung a few rounds together to walk away with the trophy they lost to Ninjas in Pyjamas last year.

TSM honestly should have won this but they choked as usual :/ VP is not that individually skilled compared to TSM's roster. For instance, Device is much better than Pasha + Neo combined :/

Biceps too stronk! It's nice to see VP winning something so they don't lose motivation! :)

+1.

2015-04-05 02:08

beat them twice* :D I guess we can easily say that vp is top4 and tsm top5 atm

Easily? There were three 14-16 losses for TSM against VP. I don't know how you can call that "easily"!

2015-04-05 00:44

score doesnt matter in the end, 2 wins are 2 wins and imo that proves vp are top4 :)

2015-04-05 00:53

Ofc, but it's tight af... So not "easily" :).

2015-04-05 09:39

tsm vs vp is guaranteeing you a close match.

2015-04-05 01:00

they started as the hardest side on almost every map

Was ment to be for miroounchained.. woops

2015-04-05 09:43

Except TSM just beat VP at SLTV.. They are even at the moment, which the matches of today showed.

2015-04-05 03:43

VP top 1, we knew it

GGWP Poland! great match :)

both matches with TSM were amazing. One of the best matches recently.

Nah the other match against VP on Starladder was way better imo, but yeah great preformance from VP

2015-04-05 00:26

Haha, I guess our experiences differ, since I'm Polish and you are Danish ;]

2015-04-05 02:07

very clever to save 14th round tsm

Congrats to VP - deserved winners. Hope TSM will take the final step towards winning LANS soon!

Atleast 'Team 14-16' came second place.

2015-04-05 00:19

haahah team 14-16

tbh i think tsm would lose no matter what team they would face in the finals, they are not meant to win anything

2015-04-05 01:06

Given the lack of world top 3, not hard to get to final.

2015-04-05 15:03

Scandinavian crowds suck.

2015-04-05 00:20

Hey, don't bring us into that.

danish crowd*

2015-04-05 01:19

Why

2015-04-05 03:11

ye if it was polish crowd they wouldve screamed like a babies after tsm won round kappa

GJ ! VP <3

Well deserved :) Big congratulations!

TSM so bad

2015-04-05 00:33

TSM choked harder than me in my movies

2015-04-05 00:36

ayy lmao this gets funnier every time u post it

oh god

2015-04-05 01:22

That was best shot that TSM could have to actually win something. Only one of the strongest teams there and yet they manage to lose. I don't count home soil advantage because VP had actually more support than TSM :D

no nip, vp win!

2015-04-05 00:43

I don't know if decision about picking up karrigan was good for TSM. Is being a good IGL balances his poor playmaking abilities? Hi is bottomfraging every single game.

2015-04-05 00:45

still better than fetish

2015-04-05 00:59

he is capable of making big plays though, so he's not that bad, it's just their mentality that's playing tricks on them

2015-04-05 01:14

he have some crucial rounds allways, so karrigan is really good for TSM

The only tournament VP can win is the one with T2&T3 teams.

Somebody said about great to organise LAN by Dennmark ? 0 delay GJ CPH Games , GJ Dennmark !

englend gud 9/11

2015-04-05 11:38

tsm is truly a gatekeeper type of team, never loses to a worse team, yet never wins against a better.

2015-04-05 01:07

quite expected, dont know if that make me a vp fan or a hater, but well played. tsm was a worthy opponent

2015-04-05 01:12

gratz VP! finnaly

nice to see news like this from oldschool player :- )

2015-04-05 02:21

where are all the -taz and virtus.throw people now? I hate how two-faced this community is. Had VP lost this we'd see a spam of -taz, -neo and Virtus.throw again. Congratz on the win to VP though and I hope they can keep this up throughout the year. Some really sick plays vs TSM - such as snax flashing out from a smoke at Inferno's B site
