Heroic stun SK; FaZe beat Cloud9

17-11-2016 21:13

Heroic have pulled off the first upset of IEM Oakland Day 2 after defeating SK Gaming 16-13 on Cobblestone.

The match began with SK Gaming unable to find a way past Heroic's defense, with the Danish team jumping out to a 5-1 lead. With the economy and the game slipping towards Heroic, SK got back into the game thanks to a tec9 push.

That was the start of a great run from the Brazilians, who restored parity at 5-5, but Heroic regained control of the game and closed out the half with a commanding 10-5 lead.

With no room for error, SK won the crucial CT pistol round thanks to a 1v2 clutch by Marcelo "⁠coldzera⁠" David. The Brazilians eventually managed to carry their momentum into the gun rounds and picked up the lead for the first time in the game.

valde turned in a great display vs. SK

A trio of kills from Valdemar "⁠valde⁠" Bjørn Vangså gave Heroic their first round of the half and restored parity at 11-11. Heroic also won the next four rounds to get to match point, and even though SK would still try to mount a comeback, the Danish team would not let the game slip away from them.

Meanwhile, Cloud9 and FaZe played out a thrilling game on Mirage that went to overtime. At first, it looked like it was going to be a one-sided affair as FaZe stormed to an 8-1 lead, but Cloud9 battled back to bring the deficit to just three rounds by the end of the half.

FaZe defeat Cloud9 in a close game

After losing the pistol round and the following eco, Cloud9 went on a massive run that saw them win eight out of nine rounds. That was when FaZe's defense finally flourished as they won three of the final four rounds to take the game to overtime, where they would win two rounds on each side to run out 19-17 victors.

wow. what a comeback from c9. they are most definitely the best mirage team at the moment. and probably the best mirage t side of all time. all thanks to tim ta and yung stew. from being down 1-8 to winning it all. 2014 astralis and vp 2015 sk 2016 c9 the era of mirage changes with the times. by the way is it just me or do faze and mouz feels like stepping stone teams towards the top? no matter how many members they change they seem underwhelming. the true definition of a t1.5 team. anyways, c9 will win this tournament. ps: why would esl1 is airin sk match, the only fans they got is from brazil and there is a dedicated brazilian stream. also rest of the cs world supports c9? even the second stream had more viewers lol. midmatch edit to shame myself: karrigan scar n00b. still c9 win will overall. valde is a god, skL0L danish niko best nico(not nico)

He's a Turk dude, what do you expect lol, they are only good for kebabs

2016-11-17 21:50

Yes, that mid control to A every round is very good and not punishable. They'll be able to do that vs like SK 15 times in a row like they did here.

What a total loser you are writing this up before the match ends LOL.

2016-11-17 21:49

2016-11-17 21:21

why kappa? not wrong when talking about talent id say

+1 they have so much young talents, unlike other teams that mostly have 1.6 veterans, Denmark is really putting good effort in forming of CS:GO and cybersport overall.

2016-11-17 21:40

ROFL, even f++king Heroic figured out how to defeat T1 teams on de_cbble, but G2 still can't do shit on this map! FaZe would've won much easier if rain hadn't sucked so much.

sk top1 - lol

2016-11-17 22:30

Tbh if it's not about cheats SK should still get to playoffs somehow and take revenge, Cbble is obviously not a great map for them anymore and they've usually been upset exactly on it And here's a strange thing: if they get to face Astralis/NIP and not C9 or IMT in finals- they will probably win this shit
