? win Red Dot Invitational

12-1-2016 14:31

Question Mark came out on top of Red Dot Invitational following a Titan thriller and a one-sided victory over EnVyUs in the grand final.

Two French and two Danish teams stood in the semi-finals of the Red Dot Invitational yesterday, Titan, EnVyUs, dignitas and Question Mark.

Vincent "⁠Happy⁠" Schopenhauer's squad was facing dignitas in theirs on de_train at first. With a 12-3 lead as Terrorists, EnVyUs moved to the other side with a solid cushion, which was enough to close map one out at 16-11, very much thanks to Kenny "⁠kennyS⁠" Schrub's beastly 33-12 (1.88 rating) score.

Map two, de_inferno, was much more decisive than that, as once again the Frenchmen switched over with solid numbers as Terrorists and advanced to the grand final after a 16-6 scoreline.

Titan, on the other hand, put up a much harder fight. The other semi-final ended up being a thriller series, as the first two maps, de_overpass and de_train, both went into overtime, with each team snatching one for themselves.

The grand finalist was decided on de_dust2, where Finn "⁠karrigan⁠" Andersen and company took matters into their own hands, as they overpowered Titan 16-7 after a 12-3 halftime score as Counter-Terrorists.

The final ended up being quite a whitewash from the Danes, who went on to grab the main $25,000 prize after 16-5 on de_overpass and 16-7 on de_cache, both times picking up double digits on the Terrorist side.

nV losing their touch :( their force buys don't seem as powerfull as they were

2016-01-12 14:35

i think people have learnt to counter them.

2016-01-12 14:42

Their playstyle is different also, they used to do more rushes on force buys, and now they take it more slow (on T side ofc)

2016-01-12 14:45

stats! grandfinal!

Denmark is rising. Prepare your skins people. We're gonna take it.

Puggy style online tournament, fucks given by teams: 0. easy money $$$$

lol wtf happened on Cache? That's one of nV's best maps. How did they lose that? To be fair I guess it's one of TSM's best as well. Also fuck's sake TQM announce your org already.

On 19th they will host AMA on reddit

2016-01-12 15:31

Cache and cobble are TQM´s worst maps actually. Most cobble though

2016-01-12 15:16

true, cache is less favoured by the TQM players. but with that being said, they still play pretty damn well on it. to say it is a weak map for them is a bit off. cobble is the only map they more often than not struggle with. and that is why TQM is also most likely gonna place among the top, because of their map-pool.

2016-01-12 23:52

ez throw xD unban iBP and ban nV plZ

2016-01-12 15:20

ez 25k

2016-01-12 14:41

Sexpected

HLTV.org is doing a poor job on finding who these guys are. Two months later and still nothing. Shame on you.

2016-01-12 14:46

don’t you think they are just respecting their request on keeping it a secret? i’m sure somebody within HLTV knows.

2016-01-12 23:53

damn 25 k for a few days of cs : go wish I were a pro player :D

so who won? anyway do they ever plan on announcing their new org? seeing this ? every time they have a match is annoying

2016-01-12 14:52

On january 19th

who watched this game tell me plz was qm so fcking good or envyus very bad? Im envy fan and i went to sleep cause it was very late

2016-01-12 14:53

Envy was playing horrible and TQM was on fire

2016-01-12 14:56

more like, TQM solid / envy tired

Rofl, TQM was on fire this match, they hit everything, go look at the vod, so many sick actions, everybody on TQM had something highlight worthy. envy simply play loose, so when the win they rek and when they lose they look terrible, bt even if envy played better this match TQM would have destroyed em. Cuz TQM on fire> almost all teams no mather what.

2016-01-12 17:03

I would say tqm had the better tactical approach on the t side of overpass, envy could never hold effectively. On Cache tqm was just on fire with their shots , not a lot envyus could do

2016-01-12 15:46

ez 6.5k for dignitas,

i don't know who will win, why hltv is asking users about it? It's your job Miraa

? Is love ? Is life

who ?

2016-01-12 15:05
