flamie shines as Na`Vi ease past QB.Fire to book semi-final spot

26-1-2018 22:30

Natus Vincere have secured their place in the ELEAGUE Major's New Champions Stage semi-finals after beating Quantum Bellator Fire on two maps.

The CIS derby kicked off on Mirage, Quantum Bellator Fire's map pick, with Aurimas "⁠Kvik⁠" Kvakšys opening up the action with an ace to help his team pick up their Terrorist pistol. However, Oleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev then responded with a Scout triple-kill, setting Natus Vincere up for a 3-1 lead.

Regardless of their efforts, Quantum Bellator Fire simply could not find a way through the stern Na`Vi defense, with the half ending with a 13-2 scoreline in part thanks to a record-breaking 32-kills from Egor "⁠flamie⁠" Vasilyev.

Nikita "⁠waterfaLLZ⁠" Matveyev's men began the second half with another pistol round win, but that would not be enough to stop Natus Vincere, who easily locked down the map after they bought up.

Next up was Inferno, where Natus Vincere got out to a quick 4-1 lead as Terrorists despite losing a second round anti-eco. Even though Quantum Bellator Fire then got a second round on the board, they simply could not string any rounds together. In fact, Na`Vi lost only two more rounds before closing out the half with an 11-4 lead.

Just like in the first half, Natus Vincere secured the pistol round only to lose the subsequent anti-eco. However, it was only a matter of time until Danylo "⁠Zeus⁠" Teslenko's men finished things off, locking down the map, 16-7, to book their place in the semi-finals.

2018-01-26 22:37

LOOOOOOL

2018-01-26 22:42

Coincidence i think not

A performance for the ages Everyone who said he was washed up will be eating their words for a while Also hopefully qbf can prove themselves in future events Also I had comment 13 but apparently admin Himmeler at hltv didnt think what I said above is appropriate or something

expected

GODLIKE game from Na`Vi, hope they will pass FaZe with this style.

Egor 'flamie' Vasilyev VS Quantum Bellator Fire GGWP

Hoped it would be a little more close, but gj QBF for making it this far nevertheless.

problem is, Flamie too inconsistent. should have been this good versus Sk or Faze

2018-01-26 22:40

Simple will have a hard night thinking that other guys stole his show, poor guy he should be more aggresive and rush everything as CT, because thats what this game is about

Its like he rests for next match :D

2018-01-26 22:46

Yup , on the 2nd map you can see he’s tilted bcz his attention is stolen . Just my guess though

2018-01-27 14:43

2018-01-26 22:43

At the previous major it was BIG, now it's QBF. Fuck that BO1 shit!!!

GG QBF. Hope that next major you will get at least to finals :) Gl.

They still deserved it

2018-01-26 22:50

Sure they are a decent team but they dont deserve being a legend for winning a bunch of random bo1s IMO

2018-01-26 23:15

Still, the other teams who should’ve been able to beat them 365 days a year couldn’t so they def deserve to be a legendary team.

2018-01-27 08:17

why so ez

wasted spotat major xd

For me, QBF went from “They’re gonna lose” to “They might just win the major!” Big respect to them.

2018-01-26 22:52

39 is the record in regulation at a major? What's the record on LAN events as a whole? I know NiKo had 40, anyone has beaten that?

2018-01-26 22:58

5 replies

No,i remember worldedit had 31 in a half and magisk 29

2018-01-26 23:00

32 frags in first half and 39 in all game on the major

I know, my question was regarding the all-LAN record, because 39 is the current record in regulation, but only at a major.

2018-01-27 00:51

Flamie’s record is 32 kills for one half. He could get much more kills but that map only took 20 rounds to end.

2018-01-26 23:56

See #71

At least qbf didn't use bugs and take legends status

flamie Congrats! Huge performance! GL next round! QBF much respect, bright future wished!

2018-01-26 23:07

flamie smurf

2018-01-26 23:19

2018-01-26 23:25

flamie had 1 more kill than the bottom 3 on qbf combined lol

2018-01-27 00:14

fucking god flamie :)

2018-01-27 00:33

navi all cheaters

2018-01-27 05:44

You are not gonna see this team agian till next major,And then they will go out 0-3 in the group.

2018-01-27 07:03

No one can assure you this. They can still be a dark horse just like gambit that became legends and 2 majors later won PGL

2018-01-27 07:21

kudos to QBF tho, waiting for some action from them in upcoming months

2018-01-27 10:34
