Cloud9 advance to ELEAGUE Premier semis over G2

10-10-2017 22:35

In the first quarter-final of ELEAGUE Premier playoffs, Cloud9 defeated G2 2-0 (Cobblestone 16-12, Inferno 16-8) on their way to the semis.

Cobblestone kicked off the first quarter-final of ELEAGUE Premier, with G2 grabbing the better start after winning the second-round forcebuy for a 3-1 lead as Terrorists. Jake "⁠Stewie2K⁠" Yip's two triples, as well as Tyler "⁠Skadoodle⁠" Latham's 1v1 clutch, then tilted the scales in Cloud9's favor, but that didn't last long.

G2 slowly took over the half with a variety of B attacks, which awarded them four out of the next five rounds, while the last two were split evenly between the teams, with the Frenchmen leading 9-6 following a 1v2 from Richard "⁠shox⁠" Papillon.

William "⁠RUSH⁠" Wierzba stepped up to the plate with three kills in the second pistol round, equalizing the score at nine apiece, but G2 were the ones to take over in the first gunrounds, much thanks to Kenny "⁠kennyS⁠" Schrub's ace.

Cloud9 made short work of G2 in the first quarter-final

However, individual heroics from Timothy "⁠autimatic⁠" Ta, Stewie2K, and Skadoodle who clutched another duel, helped the American squad secure seven rounds in a row, allowing them to win their opponents' pick 16-12.

Inferno saw Cloud9 getting up to a 3-0 lead early on the offense, but their attacks towards A in the first gunround came to no fruition, as G2 strung together five rounds. Adjusted A executes, with Tarik "⁠tarik⁠" Celik sneaking into pit through a wall of smoke twice in a row, helped Cloud9 regain their lead at 7-5 and eventually switch over to the CT side at 8-7.

The American side won the fourth pistol round in a row and proceeded to lose the next anti-forcebuy yet again, but they opted for a force of their own in the third round to retake control of the economy. On the back foot, G2 were unable to convert a few promising situations and found themselves in a poor economic situation following a questionable force at 12-8. Cloud9 took no time to close things out, advancing to the semi-finals at 16-8, 2-0.

bodyy just could not catch a new breath :// I'd want to see nV with Ex6 and K1o and G2 with ZyW0o or actually any other consistent player instead of bodyy :) ye he had great games, but those -10+ were much moooooooooore

2017-10-10 22:40

8 replies

Ikr the best he ever does is when he has 15 frags along with every other player on his team. Zywoo could actually have good games

Yes they need a change -bodyy +zywoo -nbk +s1mple :)))))

not -nbk, just -bodyy

-nbk +k1o. Because they both are supporter, but looks like k1o is more consistent with supporting role and the way he can't get entry frag that's why people call him THE PROBLEM.

2017-10-11 04:04

i think at this moment they need another player but from other country.Why not,look at faze

Stop dreaming there will not be any changes till at least a long time. They are working on new strategies, and it takes time, as a 5 guys unit

2017-10-11 08:40

This line-up has been together for like 8 months now. How fucking backwards are you? How much time are you gonna give them before you admit they're really not working out much as the #1 French hope? Oh wait, "BaguetteHD". You're probably just a troll. gg, I guess.

2017-10-11 12:27

They are good but way too much inconsistent, and a roster change will not help them being more consistent.

2017-10-14 10:15

k1o literally plays the same kind of role of body as well and is way more consistent

2017-10-10 22:51

I know, him or Zywoo would be a great replacement for botyy

2017-10-10 23:06

This. No superteam will happen with Bodyy in the roster.

2017-10-10 23:56

Rip French super team. NACS will never be the same.

2017-10-10 22:42

It’s not because you won once that u are the best. Enjoy cuz it will not happen every time

2017-10-11 08:42

expected from the best na lan player

2017-10-10 23:14

Lol

2017-10-13 21:17

Surprise surprise. G2 tiltsports

2017-10-10 23:55

LOL Sk will still top 1

exactly what I tought :D

2017-10-10 23:21

LUL boddy LUL

G0-2

Hahahahaha +1

Yes

2017-10-10 22:46

+1 lol hahahahah

If they don't qualify for EPL lan then they are definitely changing their team for sure.

Expected. G2 too way inconsistent. Cuz of them is posible SK keeps on the number 1.

You mean FaZe

Faze could get to number 1 if they win Eleague maybe

2017-10-10 23:02

Faze or North. The only cases of SK falls of number one. But not sure. G2 winning Eleague will be number one.

2017-10-10 23:11

To SK has 100% #1 after Eleague, they has to cheer for C9 upsets. Or cheer for Astralis (I think the Danish won´t end number one even winning Eleague).

2017-10-10 23:16

Well done But that retake gave me cancer, wasted 10 seconds to talk with each other and prepare for retake and they leave the guy with no kit to defuse when they had kit

USA USA USA, EU CS :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Skadoodle>KennyS

G2 DISGUSTING

mah hert mah sole

Well done Cloud9! GG to both teams!

lmao, the 2nd team and French dream team.

Congrats to C9! <3

superteam they said xD

C9 true superteam with stars like: Turok master igl autismatic consistency kng- stewie4keachround Skadaddy and rushBlyat

Well played from ‘tarik’ in Inferno.

"G2>FaZe"

Grats to C9, but lol I have been saying for a while now G2 is overrated. They are garbage online, and as a result we only have like 2 LANs to judge them off of. I really don't get how they are ranked so high by everybody when their main tournament win was Malmo and they were bad at the major.

Ez money, g2 so fucking overrated

2017-10-10 22:43

Well Played C9

2017-10-10 22:44

G2 outplayed hard

C9, need to atleast reach the finals or win this entire event to prove that they are number 1 NA team. gg C9

NA CS! WE MADE IT BOIS!

hard to win 4v5 with bodyy

So true :c

2017-10-11 00:03

G2 could bring in Ex6TenZ to IGL and free up Shox or could bring in RpK for more firepower than Bodyy ... PICK 1 G2

2017-10-11 01:13

Why they need a french guy when they have so many pos to take another good player,how i say in my last post maybe s1mple and zywoo

2017-10-11 02:39

S1mple doesn't speak French and ZyWoo hasn't got much experience, ZyWoo should replace Sixer on NV and if we still see ZyWoo playing well on LAN on NV then maybe he should be a possibility on G2

2017-10-11 04:25

Yes he doesn't speak French but he speak english and all in this team speak english so it's a great replace s1mple ......and zywoo you have right he need more experience.Look at that turkish guy XANTARES or Calyx they don't speak english but they have a great future

2017-10-11 06:14

S U P E R T E A M U P E R T E A M

2017-10-10 22:45

..nvm

2017-10-10 22:47

Where you at G2?!?! Great games by C9, rough couple of ecos but they didn't roll over.

2017-10-10 22:48

THORIN GET REKT AHAHAHA

2017-10-10 22:50

-boddy +kio -nbk +happy Never gonna happen cuz -sixer +kio confirmed

Just -Bodyy +Ex6TenZ or +RpK

2017-10-11 01:14

Remove boddy... fuckin bot who gets 22 frags on 2 maps vs NA team

either way, something doesn't click in that team anymore

2017-10-11 01:16

If G2 want to consistently compete for championships, this lineup won't be capable of doing so. Hopefully they don't let it spiral to the point where the players are just hanging on for that fat pay cheque.

2017-10-10 22:52

NA 2 STRONK

VERY EASY FOR C9

NA RISE UP

bodyy > ScreaM kappa

2017-10-10 22:55

S U P E R T E A M

Despite being from NA, C9 is the only team that I hate, ffs G2 why do you disappoint.

2017-10-10 22:58

kick_bodyy_ffs

2017-10-10 22:59

Well played C9

2017-10-10 23:05

stupid buys, bad IGL G2 has it all to be a team solely based on individual performances mostly from kennyS inconsistent af

2017-10-10 23:08

expected. gg

2017-10-10 23:12

-bodyy + RPK

rip skins, gg to both teams

2017-10-10 23:18

Lmao so many G2 kids talking shit before the match. Glad c9 got rid of the trash first :D

2017-10-10 23:20

G2 limited the forcebuying in Malmo and it worked incredibly well for them. Don't understand why they would go back to the forcebuys

People somehow have never caught on that French teams struggle vs NA teams. This shit's gone on for years, I don't know why people expected G2 to win by some large margin.

2017-10-10 23:23

NO ONE IS SAYING CLOWN 9 NOW YOU HATERSSSSS

2017-10-10 23:28

Body so good hype him more please

Let bodyy take the lead and make shox great again please.

2017-10-10 23:38

2017-10-10 23:43

on cobblestone they put NBK in the drop room postion where he almost had no impact at all on the ct side such a player with a great aim and experience should have been in a better spot where can he can open rounds and hold sites
