ggwp navi, fuck the Swiss system.

2018-09-14 18:13

gl next match man. Bad map for Nip.

2018-09-14 18:14

+ idk. Why Nip picked Train, not Mirage

2018-09-14 18:16

i think they scary bcs navi playing mirage not bad. and on train they lost to north like 16-3 :) but idk better to play your best map.

Na'Vi is extremely strong on Mirage, but have shown weakness on Train at the inner site particularly.

boohoo

2018-09-14 18:27

Nice

Rip nip. So unlucky.

AHHA what? NIP won 3 luckyes rounds

Not unlucky about the match, unlucky about the teams they are facing. Liquid, mouz, navi. They didn't face a weak team yet.

2018-09-14 19:22

NaVi looks poised to get one of the first three places. They played solid structured CS and looked sharp and composed. Well done.

2018-09-14 18:15

Navi hate 2nd place because they were 2nd twice

2018-09-14 18:28

Let's be honest: Astralis and Liquid are just way above all other teams. CS still can be largely affected by luck (think Ts vs CTs when the latter constantly lose rounds and cannot really rebuy, and all their gear is a lot more expensive, M4 vs AK47, incendiary vs. molotov) and NaVi might take the first place.

2018-09-14 21:28

GG EZ AF

How does hltv count the clutch statistics? S1mple won 3 vs faze, and at least the last round vs NiP, but has only 2 shown on his stats?

Too ezz For God S1MPLE

Ez lose of mapveto by nip

flam1e plays his last matches with Na`Vi well.

Expected

2018-09-14 18:21

flamie 1.79 rating damn

2018-09-14 18:22

NiP 1-2 Fnatic 2-1 Even tho Fnatic is utter trash and NiP has been playing good, at the end draws will destroy NiP, but not Fnatic because of luck.

2018-09-14 18:43

True and incredibly sad

2018-09-14 19:39

Flamie and S1mple and Electronic THE BEST TRIO IN THE WORLD!!!

sry but Dup+Dev+Magisk > S1+Fla+Ele

2018-09-14 19:31

-1 bro Na`Vi just need more confidence, imo they are stronger and they proved it many times by beating Astralis. Potentially they are even better in my opinion.
