ESL One New York 2017Cloud9, Astralis pick up wins in New York
Cloud9 and Astralis have secured their first wins at ESL One New York after defeating Natus Vincere and Liquid, respectively.
Cloud9 got off to a flying start on Inferno by securing a fast 5-0 lead as Terrorists. It was only then that Natus Vincere were able to respond, but the North American team would continue to exert their dominance, losing only three more rounds until the end of the first half.
Danylo "Zeus" Teslenko's squad did not throw in the towel, picking up the pistol round and the following anti-ecos. Cloud9 then won four rounds in a row, hitting match point, but it would them quite some time to close it out as Natus Vincere went on a great run, winning five rounds before being bested by the North Americans.

The clash between Astralis and Liquid took place on Mirage, with the latter team picking up the Counter-Terrorist pistol round. The North Americans could not follow it up, however, as they lost control of the match, with the Danes strolling to a 5-1 lead.
Josh "jdm64" Marzano then found two kills with an AWP, but Astralis denied their opponents from getting their second round of the game. Still, Liquid managed to keep their defense tight for the rest of the half, which ended with a close 8-7 scoreline.
Despite losing the first two rounds of the second half, Liquid managed to win the following round with pistols, setting themselves up for a 13-10 lead.
Lukas "gla1ve" Rossander and co. then won a round with nothing but pistols, and, from that point, they took control of proceedings, taking the map without conceding any more rounds.
