ESL One Cologne 2018mousesports beat Gambit; G2 stun Na`Vi
In the second round of matches at ESL One Cologne, MOUZ defeated Gambit 16-8 on Dust2, while G2 took the victory over Natus Vincere on Inferno, 16-14.
Janusz "Snax" Pogorzelski opened up the action on Dust2 with a double-kill to help his new team, MOUZ, pick up the pistol round on the CT side. The European mixture followed that up with the anti-ecos and refused to take their foot off the gas all the way to a 7-0 lead.
Gambit picked up their first round on the back of a 1v3 clutch from Abay "HObbit" Khassenov, but MOUZ still went on to hit nine rounds. Then Nikolay "mir" Bityukov found two entry-kills to lead his team to win another round, but MOUZ' players kept stepping up to the plate with multi-kills to go up 13-2 by half-time.
The Kazakhstani squad did not want to back down and won the first two rounds of the second half before MOUZ claimed their 14th thanks to a 1v2 clutch from Tomáš "oskar" Šťastný. Gambit kept trying to turn things around, but there was little they could do to stop mouz from finishing off the map, 16-8.

Meanwhile, Natus Vincere also got off to a flying start against G2 on Inferno. Playing as Terrorists, the Ukrainians kept breaking through the defence without much effort to go up 7-0. The Frenchmen then seemed set to bag their first round, but Denis "electroNic" Sharipov denied that with an ace that included a 1v2 clutch.
G2 still lost another round, 0-9, before they were finally able to get on the board. From that moment, Kévin "Ex6TenZ" Droolans's men looked like a brighter side and conceded just one more round to reduce the deficit to 5-10.
G2 came from half-time eager to turn things around, losing a single round of a total of six to soften the deficit. Despite Natus Vincere responding with their 12th round, G2 did not let them follow that up and strung three rounds together to secure a 13-12 scoreline taking the lead for the first time.
Natus Vincere won the next round, but G2 took the lead again thanks to a successful 2v3 situation from Edouard "SmithZz" Dubourdeaux and Richard "shox" Papillon. Although the Ukrainians restored parity once again, 14-14, it was all in vain for them as G2 remained calm and collected to lock down the map in the next two rounds.
