Cloud9, CLG top NA qualifier groups

2-8-2015 03:35

Cloud9 and CLG are the first two to advance to the ESL One Cologne North American offline qualifier playoffs from first places in their respective groups.

Group A was first on the schedule in ESL's studios in Burbank, California, and it was Cloud9 to start it all off with a one-sided de_cbble against Noble. They were soon joined by Liquid in the winners' match, as Jacob "⁠FugLy⁠" Medina's side overcame Tempo Storm 16-11 on de_cache.

For first place in group A, Cloud9 and Liquid chose to duke it out on de_dust2 and Cloud9's trio Tyler "⁠Skadoodle⁠" Latham, Jordan "⁠n0thing⁠" Gilbert and Ryan "⁠freakazoid⁠" Abadir turned in a good performance (all above 1.30 rating) to secure a spot in the semi-finals.

On the other side, in group B, both Mythic and CLG had tough initial matches, but both also managed to prevail over their opposition, Maximum Effort and eLevate, respectively.

Once again the first-place decider was played on de_dust2 and CLG got off to a good start, securing a 14-9 scoreline soon after the sides swapped. The tides soon turned and Mythic were onto a comeback thanks to clutch play, but in the last possible round in relegation, CLG closed it out at 16-14.

Noble are already out of the competition, as Tempo Storm advanced over them to the deciding match in group B versus Liquid. Next up in group B though will be Spencer "⁠Hiko⁠" Martin's Maximum Effort up against eLevate to decide who will meet Mythic in the decider taking place tomorrow.

anger and lex stepped up big time but pyth massively underperformed against CLG and that probably cost them.

2015-08-02 03:50

im sry but it wasnt them playing well but it was clg not knowing how to hold sites on d2. jdm was missing way to many awp shots on cat and just leaving mid wide open for them for to take and cut off clg because they had no idea how to play it.

Uhm, since when is Anger dropping a 30 bomb on LAN against ME and almost another one against CLG not playing well? Give the guy some credit, he didn't suck on LAN for once. Lex was also hitting a lot of his shots.

anger really impressed me, and they definitly have played better since getting devilwalk. Pyth and ptr played really good too, clg was simply the better team that game.

2015-08-02 06:06

I mean, Devilwalk could be more useful as well... I honestly forgot he was in the game some rounds

2015-08-02 05:47

Pyth got NA syndrome when he moved, he does great on online but underperforms at lan now

2015-08-02 05:53

FalleN is helping then as a coach btw, it's nice to see him returning the favor.

CLG looks really great. I think they are already top2 team in NA.

2015-08-02 11:44

I just haven't been that impressed with CLG lately. Yeah they're #2 but I do believe that spot could easily be taken by Liquid or Mythic if they'd get their shit together smh. I don't have much hope for M.E. though smh.
