Na`Vi move past QB.Fire with great second half showing

12-1-2018 23:52

Natus Vincere have won their first match at the ELEAGUE Major Main Qualifier after beating Quantum Bellator Fire by a 16-8 scoreline.

The CIS clash did not begin the way many had predicted as Na`Vi got shut down on their way to the B site. Egor "⁠flamie⁠" Vasilyev then decided to take matters into his own hands as he picked up a quad-kill to level up the score, with the Ukrainian team following that up with two more rounds.

Quantum Bellator Fire were unwilling to let the map slide, however, and tightened up their defence, immediately countering Na`Vi's round wins to keep the game wide open. The Russian team eventually took the lead after stringing three rounds together, but Na`Vi picked up the pace to finish the half with eight rounds on the board.

s1mple was Na`Vi's top player in the CIS clash

The second half began with Natus Vincere further adding to their lead after taking the pistol round and the subsequent anti-ecos. Oleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev then came up huge with the AWP, picking up a quad-kill inside A and a triple-kill on the B site shortly afterwards. Quantum Bellator Fire struggled to penetrate the sites as Na`Vi kept their defence very tight, with the Ukrainians eventually locking down the map, 16-8, to move into the 1-0 pool of teams in Atlanta.

I felt as if Henry and Sado were way too harsh on Navi. Sure the USP and P250 round losses were bad, but they were by far the better team. It's their first match at the major, it's no time for panic.
