CLG upset Gambit in Jönköping

CLG beat Gambit 19-16 on Overpass in the Group B opening match at DreamHack Open Summer 2017.

CLG and Gambit faced off on Overpass in the opening match of Group B. The CT-sided Gambit won the pistol round and clutched a 2vs4 in the following round, making it 2-0. Kenneth "⁠koosta⁠" Suen clutched a 1vs1 in the first weapon round to get his team their first round but a 5vs3 loss a round later extended Gambit's lead to 4-1.

Gambit made it 8-1 before CLG could get another round. The double AWP setup of Ricardo "⁠Rickeh⁠" Mulholland and koosta came alive in the second portion of the first half and they won five rounds in a row to trail 9-6 at halftime.

Koosta made the difference in overtime

CLG won the second half pistol round but losing the anti-eco hurt their economy (10-7). koosta & Pujan "⁠FNS⁠" Mehta opened up the twentieth round with opening kills and the North Americans picked up their eighth round (12-8). CLG then won a 2vs2 post-plant and started a streak. koosta & company took care of Gambit's force buy and eco rounds (12-11). Gambit managed to extend their lead to 13-11 but CLG responded in the following round, breaking Gambit's economy once again (13-12).

CLG took the lead by stopping Gambit's A-site pushes and Rickeh's explosive 1vs2 clutch gave the North Americans two match points (15-13). Danylo "⁠Zeus⁠" Teslenko's 1vs1 clutch in the following round kept his team alive and Mihail "⁠Dosia⁠" Stolyarov took the match to overtime with a triple kill.

CLG won the first round of overtime with FNS' 1vs1 clutch and made it 17-15 with koosta's smoke defuse. Abay "⁠HObbit⁠" Khassenov's 1vs3 post plant clutch put an end to the first half (17-16). CLG won two rounds on the T-side to win the game 19-16.

Hobbits clutch in OT was a 1v3, not a 1v2... Also, very enjoyable match to watch. Lots of tactical and lots of dumb plays that made it very interesting.
