Luminosity over F3 to playoffs

21-8-2015 23:42

Luminosity are the final team to make the playoffs of ESL One Cologne 2015, defeating FlipSid3 in a double overtime thriller 22-18 on de_cbble.

After triumphing in the elimination match over mousesports 16-14 on de_cbble, the Russian-Ukrainian team FlipSid3 headed into the final match of the day against the Brazilians of Luminosity. The map of play was once again randomly selected to be Cobblestone, making it by far the most played map at the event so far.

FlipSid3 opened up its T side with aggression and Yegor "⁠markeloff⁠" Markelov helped the team pick up the round in particular. In the next round however, impressive forcebuy play from Luminosity gave the latter team a momentum reversing round win.

From there, Luminosity entered the driver's seat on its CT side, only allowing FlipSid3 a single round in the next ten rounds of play.

Luminosity to remain "Legends"

On the 12th round, FlipSid3 finally answered back with the team's third round of the game, bringing much needed momentum to Andrey "⁠B1ad3⁠" Gorodenskiy and his men. This inspired the team to pull ahead with the remainder of its T-side, finishing the half with the score at 9-6 in Luminosity's favour.

FlipSid3 continued to press Luminosity to a score equalisation with a CT-side pistol win, marking both pistols for the team. Captain B1ad3 won a clutch situation on Luminosity's ensuing gunround, forcing a Brazilian pause. The pause helped Luminosity garner its first two rounds on the team's T side.

With the score 11-10 for Luminosity, the team narrowly survived losing the bomb in connector with Gabriel "⁠FalleN⁠" Toledo helping the recovery efforts. FlipSid3 won the next round on an eco thanks to the flanking efforts of B1ad3 as Luminosity executed onto B site.

This turnaround gave FlipSid3 the economy to continue buying and play defensive Counter-Strike, which Luminosity were unable to break down successfully until the 28th round, when a successful A-site take brought the score to 15-13 for FlipSid3.

Luminosity doubled down on patient play and managed to force overtime, the first round of which the Brazilian team then won. FlipSid3 answered back with the two final CT-side rounds, with B1ad3 once again playing a part in the defense.

In a mark of the levelheadedness of both teams, Luminosity pulled ahead by two rounds on their CT side to force match point, which FlipSid3 neutralised by taking the final round of the half and forcing double overtime.

Ricardo "⁠boltz⁠" Prass's defense on B site and an overall strong CT hold from Luminosity gave the Brazilian team three straight rounds. The final round was the nail in the coffin for FlipSid3 as a Luminosity take of A-site left the Ukrainian-Russian team with no further answers.

2015-08-22 00:04

regarding taco and fnx, don't we have to see how ga performs on na after the major, against international level teams? to be sure if they're really that good. regarding felps... i just don't know.

2015-08-22 00:13

felps? lol pro net

2015-08-22 02:18

pretty much it. i don't recall any of his kills being meaningful on top that when he did not kill on the fall area it almost always left LG in a bad situation. during OT he left someone go there and peek boltz on the platform for free and I almost punched my monitor because of it LOL

first

They're getting raped against fnatic, but either way, they made it to the playoffs again, and with a brand new line-up. Impressive.

4 players are the same.Wouldnt call it brand new. Envyus and Titan called be called new.

Brand new because they played zero official maps together. Even if it's only one change, it means a lot.

2 changes, fallen is now the main awper and cold is taking old fallen's role in keyd as a rifler.

2015-08-21 23:53

GG LG. Wanted flipsid3 to go through for shits and giggles though..

ESL One Cologne 2015 MVP: FALLEN

Haha for doing okey in one game against the worst team of the tournament he should be named MVP of the whole tournament :)

and LG vs. EnVyUs match??

2015-08-22 01:39

How can you name him mvp? He's probably not going to beat fnatic. The MVP should be someone who makes the difference at playoffs, not group stage. Fanboyism at its finest

2015-08-22 03:31

i'm not fanboy. Pls... --'

2015-08-22 11:04

b1ad3 was surely the MVP this match

steel looks so nerdy !!! is he asian ? well ,he looks very asian

2015-08-22 01:07

thas was ez

2015-08-22 03:24

They probably won't kick steel. They will stick with the roster and steel will go back to his form.

2015-08-22 03:33

I mean, I hope that this team works with Steel, he is a funny guy that has some chemistry already with the rest. But what you mean by "his form"? Since Source he is mediocre, never called as one of the best in Brazil, never. But yes, I do hope that he improves and stays in the team. It would be for the best.

2015-08-24 20:48

-steel +nak steel can be a coach :P

2015-08-24 21:36

nak has the talent but his actual form is pretty lame. Who knows in the future? U probably watched those FPL games that FalleN played with nak, he was always bottomfragging really hard

2015-08-24 21:54

i agree but i still think nak could play lol somethings are most important than pure aim. nak has skill and xp. at this moment, it´s what LG needs. Steel is fragbonus =/

2015-08-24 22:16

Yeah, but nak is like fnx, he has a really high skill ceiling, if he start to play a lot and take the game serious in 3 months he will be in shape to join a top team, but now he just can't. But I do hope that he does that aswell

2015-08-24 22:21

nak would need more than 3 months I would say. All pro players have over 4k hours of CSGO on record. nak has never been an aimer like fnx. Imo nak should stick to the coach role and use his mentality (he's awesome at it) to help with strats and overall in game setup/calls

2015-08-24 23:08

He wasnt like fnx but he was a pretty good aimer/striker. But what made him one of the most iconic players of mibr was his intelligence, he was always outsmarting the enemy in clutch situations, it was beautiful to watch. And yes, I agree, it could take a long while to nak get into shape on CSGO.

2015-08-24 23:19

fnx is the only one oldschool who still play CS?

2015-08-24 23:25

No, pava still plays, mch8 and a few others that didnt transition well to CSGO, they are mediocre nowadays but tbh they are pretty old aswell (pava is almost 30)

2015-08-24 23:27

dude, i felt like ancient you talkin like that about pava! Im 28 and returned this year to play CS:GO lol I've never been professional but had sponsorship Internet cafe (to play only) and the maximum reached was that qualify ESCW - BAHIA to compete in Brasilia, but the organization didnt pay the flights tickets =/ I see few good players on internet nowadays and many cheaters. Its not good for the brazilian CS scene.

2015-08-25 02:41

hahaha Im 27, this is "old" to the professional players. But ppl can be successful with that age. 3 Virtus.Pro players are ABOVE 28 and they are one of the best teams in the world.

2015-08-25 02:43

that's right. His form doesn't place him amongst the best players in Brazil, but it's everything LG need. He just has to hit some shots and keep doing his support role. There's no one in Brazil able to replace him. I don't closely follow our scene but I know that aside from GA guys (they aren't that great too) all those "top players" are a total joke compared to a pro player or steel.

2015-08-24 23:06
