Astralis take MIBR out 2-0 in Stockholm

1-9-2018 15:16

Astralis rolled over MIBR on Overpass, 16-6, and took a 30-round map, 16-14, on Train, to qualify for the DreamHack Masters Stockholm semi-finals.

Doubles by Lukas "⁠gla1ve⁠" Rossander and Emil "⁠Magisk⁠" Reif cleared the way for Astralis to take the first round on Overpass, but MIBR quickly replied on the force buy on the back of two ssg08 kills by Gabriel "⁠FalleN⁠" Toledo on the offense, turning the tide for the American side who took a 3-1 lead. The two teams then traded rounds, making it 4-2 with MIBR in control of the economic game. The beginning of the map didn’t stabilize as both teams kept trading rounds until Astralis could win two in a row for a 5-5 tie. From there on out, Astralis took control of the half as MIBR struggled to change the pace, closing the half out 10-5.

Doubles by Nicolai "⁠device⁠" Reedtz and Peter "⁠dupreeh⁠" Rasmussen in a 2vs4 pushing on A gave Astralis the second pistol round, breaking MIBR. After winning the two anti-ecos, Astralis played a slow round around B which they were able to crystalize as device mowed down to of the site’s defenders to make it 14-5. Finally, Astralis closed the map out, 16-6.

Astralis are through to the semi-finals at the Ericsson Globe

The second map, Train, started with MIBR taking the pistol round with doubles by the North American duo of Jake "⁠Stewie2K⁠" Yip and Tarik "⁠tarik⁠" Celik It was then tarik in the first gun round, with a four-kill round including a 1vs2 afterplant clutch, who was able to extend the lead to 4-0. FalleN & co. kept up the pressure, taking six out of the seven first rounds to create a nice cushion on the attacking side before Astralis took control of the map. As it looked like the Danes were taking control on the CT side, a huge play by tarik with three kills on B to save a defuse in a 2vs4 kept the half even, which ended 8-7 in favor of the Brazilians.

The second pistol round went the way of Astralis, who took a 10-8 lead after the two anti-ecos, but MIBR kept it close after a B retake which ended up in FalleN defusing the bomb as Marcelo "⁠coldzera⁠" David took the last Danish bomb defender, Andreas "⁠Xyp9x⁠" Højsleth, out. Having linked a few rounds together, MIBR were able to take the lead, 12-11, further increased after Stewie2K got two double AWP entries and MIBR retook a 3vs5 plant on inner.

Right when MIBR seemed to take control, Astralis once again found themselves in the lead after winning three rounds in a row to make it 14-13. With MIBR struggling economically, the Danes got to match point, and in the last round, up 15-14, won the match as gla1ve killed the last two CTs trying to defuse the bomb on A through a smoke outside of Popdog.

Expected win by the best team in the world. mibr just isn't a tier 1 team, they looked like fools playing against Astralis. "mibr is back" - based on a win against asian teams in zotac...very delusional thing to say by mibr fans.

Impossible not to laugh with such a nonsense hate xD

I expected them to lose against astralis aswell but after all mibr did quite decent and ynk is not that long the coach of this team I expect them to become tier 1 again. this year. possibly at the major already.

2018-09-01 16:38

Ez for astralis

2018-09-01 17:01

Haha. You hater, were waiting for this opportunity. Mibr is back and we know it. If they won you'd be back to your cave u c*unt

EZ4BestTeam

Ez for the best team

expected

Mibr just lost against the best team in the world while having a new coach for only a few weeks. Mibr is definetly back

depends on what you define as back are they likely a top 7-8 team? sure but for the potential that mibr have i wouldnt call anything less then top 3 back

I truly belive that in the major they will prove themselves to become a top 5 maybe top 4 team or better but it is hard to rank them after they picked up YnK since they've only played against bad teams or the best team

2018-09-01 15:30

yeah its weird group d ended up being way weaker then i thought it would be hellraisers without woxic still a lost gambit and a mouz who look like they might make another roster change soon i personally think mibr are going to need a little more than the major to really get to top 4ish level considering that the top 4 looks very hard to break into atm

2018-09-01 15:36

finally a good conversation in the middle of those haters. mibr improved since YNK joined the team. I really liked the game between mibr and Astralis and I believe is just a matter of time for them to get it right. They said already that they don't usually study the others teams and, since Astralis is playing on a high level, YNK for sure will analyze and give the instructions on how to beat them. It still a long way, they still need to play a lot together to get into a high level of communication. (the way of thinking of everyones on the team and how everyone's style/mindgame) But in the other hand if they don't prove themselves until the end of the year, I think they will disband (at least coldzera or fallen will leave) But its just my opnion.

2018-09-01 17:16

If they still had boltz and taco, with a coach they would be better than now.

2018-09-01 20:51

I agree to you, they will have time to fix their little problems

They played very good against Astralis especially train lol 16-14 didn't expect that from my fav. team and from fer especially,but still astralis are on high level.Finals against Faze will be very interesting.

2018-09-01 15:24

MiBR is a Group of Big Guns with little to No Ammo Left. They still need a Restock of ammunition before they take on the Major.

Aka the same thing they've been doing all year. Try again delusional fanboy

2018-09-01 15:50

Mibr shit, it's time to go home.

+60% expected mibr to win :D

The Twitch Live Chat got Rekt by Astralis. Serves them right.

because a lot of ppl are just against Astralis i guess, not with mibr

fuck..

unlucky for mibr to face #1 team . but looking much better anyway

ya they look like a top team again.

2018-09-01 19:39

Woah what a HUUUUGE surprise

Yes! Astralis is Back again! Now go defeat NiP or North or FaZe or whatever comes in the way of the trophy.

Train was such a good map of CS, especially that last round, wew

GLA1VE THE Smoke Killer LUL

That last shot..

stewie and tarik cant anything vs 1tier team

hltv.org/news/24585/mibr-ease-past-mouse.. Just read it

EZ FOR GLA1VE MONSTEEEEERRR <3

when Xyp9x is on fire, i never see Astralis losing

Gla1ve win this BO3 :)

i didnt watch game sorry, just saying that about xyp

he didnt necessarily win the series he just secured the map

Stewie is useless.

seriously, he lost almost all aim duels even easy one, should go back to c9 with skabot

coldzera not shine today :( sad for us but gg astralis

Mibr were back for 2 matches then they are again gone .

Even faze can't win against Astralis right now, so why a team that got a coach in last week's should do it right now?

They didn't play against each other after the break maybe FaZe would've won considering the fact that Astralis lost a bo3 to North and dropped a map against TyLoo

2018-09-01 15:39

Maybe but i dont think so. Glaive is a great igl and the whole team is playing godlike

2018-09-01 16:01

ez4thebest team as usual Na'Vi 2:0 North

Really great game to watch, im sad couldnt see a 3rd map but im really impressed with mibr's performance

+99 The same, nice Job for Astralis anyways hope Navi will play great against Faze man :) or mouz who knows.

+1 I enjoyed so much watching it

2018-09-01 16:34

mibr is back LUL

Ahahaha where are all those kids yesterday running around saying MiBR will win not just win this match but the whole tournament. Gone as usual to enjoy a free cry

good job xyp

nt MIBR

ez for the best team in the world jk s1mple>all

gg to ma bois <3 and gg MIBR well played as well

As a brazilian myself, I'm really pissed. But I think it's well deserved for coldzera's tweet and the cringey brazilian fans spamming "mibr best team" in hltv. That's how it goes I guess.

What did he say? Lol that's why you don't over hype a team. It will put a lot of pressure to them and to yourselves. Just face it that astralis is the absolute best at the moment.

Yeah, they are. Even though I f*cking hate myself for having to agree with that. Coldzera tweeted "It’s time to see the #1 team in the world play. Against Astralis."

I would say Karma but thats not even Karma.. Mibr shoud be happy if they get 1 map out of astralis atm..

2018-09-01 18:10

GET FUCKED mibr fanboys. Doubted my boys a bit after seeing how much overwhelming support the fans had for them, but we pulled through in the end. Good shit, guys.

Easy for gla1ve. Have to give it to mibr though, they have improved recently. And I think it will only get better with YNK as their coach.

Hope good luck for your team mr mindgames and TheTehnixian in the finals.Mibr showed good performance and are not done yet. I wasn't surprised Astralis beat them but we have to agree it was a great game because i finally saw fer in action and train very good game played by both of teams.i hope they continue the same and they will improve if time goes on.Really hyped for finals Astralis may win this one

2018-09-01 15:35

gg gla1ve the GOD

So Easy, every match. Astralis top1

“Time to the best team in the world play against Ast” YIKES

Thats a big YIKES

No hack no coldzera

keep your heads up MiBR this was only a practice game! VAMOS AMERICANO

MIBR comeback boys LUL

n1ce, gg

very close game tbh. first map was very close, lots of rounds where could've gone either way! well played mibr

> 16-6 > close

2018-09-01 16:07

Today EZ 4 Astralis. Tomorrow EZ 4 Astralis vs NiP

Actually I liked how MIBR played for the first time in many months. Train was very close, and as for Overpass, at times MIBR overrelied on their individual skills and Australis punished them for that. Also, during the second part of Overpass, MIBR couldn't recover their economy. I still see a bright future for MIBR going forward. It's a very strong team. The most important thing the MIBR haters overlook is that Australis is the best team in the world. MIBR has lost to them quite gracefully.

"MIBR lost quite gracefully" hahahahhaha that's the most pathetic thing I've read in a long time. Just MIBR fanboy things xD

2018-09-01 15:38

I'm a not a fan of any CS team but I definitely see who's the fanboy here. ;-) I wonder why hating MIBR is so popular at HLTV. Puberty issues? Most comments hint at a lot of people here being underage with a lot of testosterone and very limited mental capacity.

Hating is a hip thing to do since 2016

2018-09-02 02:59

Best comment of the day to be honest.I dont understand the hate and the toxicity of hltv user,We knew how this game was going so stop please.You are the most sincere person i have ever met in this site also you are very wise.The comment is definitely right so i give you 10000000/10 idk your nationality but i wish health,wisdom,and maybe a team in pro scene. Good luck for you dude and plz dont like my country xDDDD

Despite being cheering for MIBR, Astralis victory was already expected ... The best team of 2018 so far, which despite some losses won almost everything they disputed (even looking like what SK did after PGL Major Kraków, winning several tournaments).

mibr did shit on train. They were winning 5-0, and requested a damn pause FOR WHAT? When you are winning like that, you keep pushing. The enemy clearly doesn't have enough time to understand what is going on.
