Cloud9 take revenge on Na`Vi

16-7-2015 16:27

Cloud9 are through to the semi-finals of the FACEIT League 2015 Stage 2 after seeing off Natus Vincere 16-14.

The Upper Bracket final of Group A brought a rematch of the ESWC final, with de_cobblestone, a map that was not played in the title decider in Montreal, being the battleground.

The first couple of rounds were extremely contested as rounds kept going back and forth, but an amazing AWP ace by Tyler "⁠Skadoodle⁠" Latham - his second of the day - in the sixth round broke Na`Vi's economy and gave Cloud9 room to build up their bank.

The North American side would go on to take the score to 6-3, when a triple kill from Egor "⁠flamie⁠" Vasilyev put Na`Vi back in the game. The two teams then traded round for round until the end of the half, with Cloud9 claiming a narrow 8-7 lead going into the CT side.

Cloud9 through to the last-four stage

A quad kill from Sean "⁠seang@res⁠" Gares in the pistol round allowed Cloud9 to grow their lead, and the North Americans remained in the driving seat for many more rounds, forcing Na`Vi to call a timeout when they were down 7-14.

The pep talk produced immediate effect as Na`Vi reduced the deficit to three rounds, but the CIS-based side surprisingly faltered at the final hurdle, against an ecoing Cloud9 side, when they were about to take the game to overtime.

2015-07-16 16:34

he ruined c9's momentum lol

2015-07-16 16:35

Skadoodle seems to be on point today. Was a good match, gg to both teams and hopefully Navi will make it out of the groups with C9

2015-07-16 16:29

Skadoodle topfragging once again! GGWP c9!

2015-07-16 16:30

guardian was top fragging ;/

I mean for c9! :>

2015-07-16 18:11

not really revenge coz its a bo1 if it was a bo3 navi would of taken it and they won coz of seangares but still credits to skadoodle

Edward useless, he should go back to trolling gotfrag forums.

getting mad for bo1 game is just silly, dont bet if you cant take the pressure.

2015-07-16 16:38

I don't bet.

2015-07-16 16:43

YEA SURE.......THATS WHY YOU SO MAD

2015-07-16 18:41

How much?

2015-07-16 16:52

another top4 at the very least this guys .... top5 world.

so happy <3

noice

revenge xd

Wtf now this means either VP or Navi will exit in group stage guaranteed (Well Kinguin too but... they are underdogs)... Sad days... Cloud 9 only beat EU teams in B01 and NV in B03.... I still feel like they have yet to prove themselves.

i feel that we don't care about u

2015-07-16 21:48

Ayy skadoodle is still has his carry pants on

Cloud9 needs to learn how to close out the games. Almost choking away another lead.

not this time flamie...ruined us last bo3

2015-07-16 16:33

should be giving more credits to shroud, he gave them so many entries on t side.. almost every round he had either edward zeus or flamie there

16-14 omg

In Skadoodle we trust.

n0thing but headshots

wtf was starix doing tho. Imagine if ur so focused u didn't notice the opponent coach behind u ghosting ur positions to team speak. kinda fucked up tbh

11 replies

really?

2015-07-16 16:39

yeah c9 paused after noticing starix behind them or something Na'Vi denied that they were communicating with starix but it's still kinda weird

2015-07-16 16:44

any pic/video? where did you see that?

2015-07-16 16:48

8 replies

I watched the game live, c9 paused the game and asked Na'Vi what starix is going at their area when game is live

2015-07-16 16:50

i didn't catch that. it was after the stream came back up and the game was paused?

6 replies

the Englando stream was completely down lol I viewed it from the Hungarian stream bcuz the polish one was lagging like nuts

2015-07-16 16:54

ok, so it was around that time. so basically starix was behind the c9 players and THEN navi took a time out and won like 5 rounds in a row?

2015-07-16 16:56

No Na'Vi took a timeout first and didn't get anything accomplished Then c9 paused and asked Na'Vi what starix was doing lurking around their area Didn't matter much in this game imo other than ruining c9's momentum but could be potentially dangerous for future events if teams are able to ghost like this

2015-07-16 17:00

i'm just trying to figure out what round it happened in. i thought navi took their time out when c9 already had 14 rounds. my main question is if he walked to the bathroom during a pause and happened to pass by c9 or if he got up during the match and walked over there if starix was walking around while rounds were being played then that honestly to me is an instant gtfo and dont come back.

+1 the situation is still unclear atm Hope starix clears it up

2015-07-16 17:17

Yep. If he was deliberately gaining intel, navi should be disqualified instantly.

2015-07-16 21:31

shroud negative k/d.. what happened

2015-07-16 16:36

i knew c9 would take this but lounge bots were busy :x

n0thing 74% Headshots, INSANE.

2015-07-16 16:37

I bet that's nothing (special) for him :D

2015-07-16 16:45

ayyy

Kind of expected something like this VP or Na'vi will go out in groups due to bo1 format. I hope c9 can actually perform in bo3 against a team that isn't Envy otherwise will be a waste of a spot.

What are you talking about... They've earnt their spot by beating the teams in their way. If you don't win the games when needed then you don't deserve the spot

2015-07-16 19:44

murica loves bo1

everyone talking about skadoodle and shroud mostly which is deserved obviously but ppl forget how many important kills n0thing had and in pistol rounds to.

n0thing is better than shroud

2015-07-16 16:46

Ska is such an impressive awper. There are not many who are on par with him. He nearly never whiffs any shots, calm and smart as fuck. Hoping to see C9-NaVi in the finals with some good awp battles. There is no doubt that Ska is no1 awp at the moment.

Dont really see any team beating fnatic atm. But totally agree with Skas skills. He might even be the best in the world atm.

2015-07-16 16:51

Yes Cloud9, i knew you guys would take revenge ;)

Congratulations! :)

navi should clarify what starix was doing on c9's side. this isn't the first time he's been accused of ghosting

I believe it is? The only other time I can remember is ceh9 vs AGAiN (golden five) looking at the big screen (the one portraying the stream) after he died

DH summer 2015

2015-07-16 17:52

ayyyy

2015-07-16 16:55

So what's up with the ghosting thing? I keep reading comments and I am wondering why the organizers have not taken steps to ensure the cleanest game possible. How is this set up?

Adderall9 take revenge on Na`Vi

2015-07-16 16:57

Lol, the excuses. C9 beat Na'Vi fair and square

2015-07-16 20:27

nice c9 GOOO

2015-07-16 16:58

Let's go C9

2015-07-16 16:59

C9 shouldve closed it out way earlier.. in saying that tho navi lost to an eco to deny themselves from going to overtime lol.

2015-07-16 17:01

translate pls wtf do you want

2015-07-16 17:37

I spot nothing wrong m8

2015-07-17 02:10

can someone tell/tweet lurppris about the ghosting? Big deal

2015-07-16 17:02

daamn i missed this :/

2015-07-16 17:09

Expected

2015-07-16 17:24

"Cloud9 are through to the semi-finals of the FACEIT League 2015 Stage 2 after seeing off Natus Vincere 16-14." So it was BO1? Heh.

2015-07-16 17:39

yes evil japan.

2015-07-16 19:00

Its not revenge,,, its fuckin bo1 come back when u win navi in bo3

2015-07-16 18:13

Love how you guys act like the BO3 a couple days ago with C9/Na'Vi didn't come down to the wire. It was literally a split second decision that saved Na'Vi's ass from OT. IMO, and the stats can back it up so far, C9 and Na'Vi are pretty damn even teams.

2015-07-16 20:31

a win is a win.. stop whinning ... come find me when u win a final

2015-07-16 21:27

You are being a hypocrite. You just told C9 fans to "Comeback when you win Na'Vi in BO3" yet after I mention the very close game between C9 and Na'Vi, you say "a win is a win, stop whining...come find me when you win a final." So if I'm not mistaken then the BO1 C9 took from Na'Vi should totally count, according to your logic in your second post. Also, yes, NA hasn't won a CSGO major but that doesn't mean C9 isn't one of the top teams in the world right now. Along with Na'Vi

2015-07-17 01:00

lalalallalallalallalala

2015-07-17 03:56

Is that all you have to say? I was trying to argue a valid point here and if I'm not mistaken, I think I just won. :)

2015-07-17 06:58

sgares +3 vs NaVi what the fack :D

2015-07-16 18:34

Whats up with some teams playing like 1 map a day lol? What is that?

2015-07-16 18:47

If im not mistaken its a major format, you win 2 and you're through to playoffs, you lose 2 and you're out.

2015-07-16 18:53

GOD SEANGARES WENT POSITIVE LETS GOOO

2015-07-16 18:54

c9 tier1 team from now on

2015-07-16 19:28

Rip vp

Am I the only one who feels like Guardian and Skadoodle are the two best awpers in the world at the moment?

skadoodle good but not best (jw best)

2015-07-16 20:29

JW can't stand out as an individual, he needs his team behind him. Ska and Guardian tho, they're making plays left and right. Ska had 2 aces just today. Top 3 AWPers Worldwide: 1. Guardian/Skadoodle 2. Skadoodle/Guardian 3. JW

2015-07-16 20:33

JW can't stand out as an individual?! What?! Where the fuck have you been and what world are you living in.

2015-07-17 00:18

Thorin said it himself. Recently, JW has relied much on his team to support him so he can get frags. Ska and Guardian on the other hand, as of recent <keywords, have been performing phenomenally in situations where they are at the disadvantage.
