fnatic to ESL Pro League grand final, Astralis and mousesports to play decider

9-4-2020 21:07

The second stage of ESL Pro League Season 11 Europe has concluded, with fnatic advancing directly to the grand final, while Astralis and MOUZ will rematch in the decider.

fnatic clinched the top spot after beating Natus Vincere in a two-map series in the last round, which saw the Swedes strike back with a dominant defense on Inferno to turn around a 4-11 deficit, and close it out with a straight-forward victory on Nuke.

Meanwhile, Astralis completed a successful comeback from a 0-2 start in the second stage after a dominant display against MOUZ in their fifth match, in which the Danish powerhouse only conceded four rounds across two maps.

fnatic came out on top of the second stage

The two results put Astralis, MOUZ, and Natus Vincere in a three-way tie at a 3-2 record each. As the trio all had 1-1 records in the head-to-head matchups, the map difference between the tied teams was used to break down the placings, which resulted in Oleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev & co. being eliminated in fourth place.

Astralis and MOUZ will thus play once more in the deciding match on Saturday at 18:25 . The winner of that series will go on to play fnatic in Sunday's grand final at 16:25 .

The final standings of the second stage look as follows:

Group A

Another ez win for godnatic. This new S1mple player looks like good yung talent, but maybe need to improve his aim and gamesense to compete with proven legends like JW and Flusha (so good they say they’re hacking btw!) GL to Mouz and Astralis as well

2020-04-09 22:02

that clip of him banging on the table was pretty funny, but also Krimz had a funny reaction, i think it was after guardian won the 1v5 on overpass

im glad navi lost and they are out, because all of their fans were so cocky, beliving that they can win this tournament, byeee

XD funny to hear it from a faze fan

2020-04-09 21:13

Faze fans were cockier, byeee

nope, your community is the most toxic and salty...ask everyone you want

9 replies

Still doesnt cancel the fact that navi>faze

2020-04-09 21:15

faze is better than navi man, in 2 games faze could've beat navi twice, the reason that they lost is because they were pulled down by olof's performance 1 bot > 3 bots

2020-04-09 21:17

But faze choked with 1 bot against 3 "bots" with the 12-3 score lead

2020-04-09 21:30

Continue excuse, its so funny.

2020-04-09 21:39

Excuses. Faze lost thrice to Navi this year in bo3 series. It can't all be luck my man. I know u hate navi coz of their toxic fans but u urself are one toxic faze fan. Dont u agree? That's hypocrisy right there

2020-04-10 06:51

Your excuse is pretty much: „they only lost cuz they are worse...“

2020-04-10 07:31

Both of your communities are toxic. NAv fans are way cockyer and faze fans are delusional.

m8 be more relevant. I've seen this joke already.

You're exactly that kid in the picture LUL

2020-04-09 23:04

Haters no better, if NaVi lose they will hate them, but if they win, there would be many topics from them about how this win doesn't change anything.

2020-04-16 14:17

Simple will never win a major he's just a toxic baiting kid w

2020-04-09 21:47

Lmaooo

fnatic and astralis online gods

No need the nerf best gun of the game.People couldn't understand the value of SG 553.

2020-04-10 00:04

glad faze lost

2020-04-09 21:26

Tbf he knew faze were out yesterday already

2020-04-09 21:34

glad faze got destroyed by everyone

2020-04-10 13:07

they were destroyed only by astralis

2020-04-10 13:56

oh shit, should've stayed offline today

Navi top 1 they said.. i feel bad for s1mple, he will never win a major with that team Btw FNATIC PLAYING OUT OF THEIR MIND OMG And Astralis with the comeback winning their 3 last matches to qualify damn Fnatic vs Astralis in the finals gonna be epic

7 replies

Yup, Astralis is coming back with renewed determination. Navi choking again. But Fnatic played some fantastic Counter Strike. It's going to be one hell of a finals. Astralis vs Fnatic. And I have my money on Fnatic.

Navi should learn more from Astralis how to be professional enough to stay on top of the table and homework pays off!!! It's a big lesson for them and if they continue the same attitude then they are gone forever... Only thing.... Feels sad for simple and electronic :( Rest of the navi shouldn't feel that pain (excluding flamie as he's the oldest) as they got the lottery of being Ez #1 ...time to grow up!!!

2020-04-09 21:23

Navi team is locked up in 2 counties with 1000s km distance between them it's not good for online but yea botus vincere deserves it instead wining group lusing to flukenatik omegalul.

2020-04-09 21:57

“Flukenatic” beat Navi on their last LAN game as well. Fairly easily too. Why the need to discredit fnatic?

2020-04-09 23:16

this is the SHITIEST argument ive heard in a while. there are 5 nationalities in mouz and faze but Guess what mouz didnt find shitty excuses for their bad performances. its 2020 dude u can literally play with low ping even if u are thousands of kilometers away

2020-04-09 23:17

Different cirumstances, different takes on the problems. stop acting like it is not a problem.

2020-04-10 09:04

Lol do you really think that online results are relevant? Lmao

2020-04-10 20:11

Goooo Fnatic

against will be 32:0 astralis favor

NaVi beat Astralis so technically they should be in Top3

but mouz beat NaVi so they really shouldnt

its not tied only between Na'Vi and Astralis Na'Vi > Astralis > mouz > Na'Vi u know so its decided by maps difference between them

Astralis 52+ round difference Navi -25 or some shiat. Sure, they deserve it more.

Round difference in 2020, OMEGALUL.

2020-04-09 22:42

rd is like the 5th factor

2020-04-09 23:19

Round difference decided the faith of Navi. But it still gives a good indication on performance.

2020-04-09 23:22

2020-04-09 23:24

You know that in every major tournament round differentiation is present ,it just rarely shows in CS however in major sports like soccer (goal differentiation) and basketball (point differentiation) are very important because it's much more likely to have two or more teams with the same amount of points Try to watch some other sports as well

2020-04-10 07:53

we talking abt cs. also im watching football all the time (obv before the coronavirus)

2020-04-10 15:53

ez 1st spot for fnatic

Why so ez

hope fnatic wins this tournament, good luck bro

thx bro looks like it could happen

it will, belive me, ez win 4 fnc

2020-04-09 21:40

So happy no navi.

Shit

ez boys. ty for ez money. flukus put down as expected.

LETS GOOOOO

Ezz where are all the navi/s0mple flairs now?

Here. Epl showed again why it is a shit league. Sure better than jokepoint.

2020-04-10 08:10

Haha navi suck= shit tournament. Classic braindead s0mple fan.

2020-04-10 12:26

shit tournament cuz a team gets rewarded for losing 0-2 instead of punished. And the same matchup as decide after 32-4 This has nothing to do with competition this is a shitshow.

2020-04-10 14:55

NAVI FANS: NAVI TOP1, S1MPLE GOAT now navi out in groups hahahahaha

Groups?? They are top4 EPL. It's equivalent to making into semifinals of a tournament. hltv.org/events/5226/esl-pro-league-seas..

2020-04-10 06:56

astr-mouz hmmmm xaxaxa

hope this is a good wake up call for some NaVi players

2020-04-09 22:43

Yes, they didn´t show up vs Fnatic

2020-04-10 01:17

still 4th with higher pings than everyone else

2020-04-10 13:08

Galaxybrain Karrigan will lead ChrisJsports to the title!!

mouz have lost all form in last 2 matches, im not so sure

2020-04-10 10:26

wow astralis just fucked mouz like they did faze in iem bejing

ESL Pro League european groups were great to watch. GG to most teams (not BIG, ENCE and VP)

Tyloo?

>european >tyloo

2020-04-09 21:18

Poor Tyloo never stand a chance, I see them playing in ESL Pro League more as a bonus ...

Fnatic all the way. And flashbacks from 2014-2015

32-4? Next time would be 32-0 #ToTheStars

NaVi - xaxaxaxxaxaxaxaxaxa 😂😂😂😂😂

2020-04-09 21:12

The mice better use they time till Saturday well, they have some studying to do.

I want to see mouze get raping again

Decider match will be more interesting than the finals... Karrigan, u got a day time to find out what went wrong:) <3 Astralis comeback... That's been professional reading the game... Let's have some good game guys ofcourse without so called #1!!!

32-4 yeah great decider

2020-04-10 08:08

No chance for botesports vs asstralis No chance for asstralis vs fnatic

Carrygun so smart, saving strats for rematch and making Astralis overconfident

+1 legend

2020-04-09 21:21

He is so smart Best igl in the world

2020-04-09 21:37

Karrigan has no strats, there is nothing to save.

2020-04-09 22:45

Yes, he even calculated in advance that NAVI would lose. Nice trick.

2020-04-10 01:20

+1 what a goat

2020-04-10 04:26

Kostylev got kick in the ass. Tremendous!

Fnatic best CS!

fnatic #1

Can someone explain pls? If match difference is being counted only for those three equal teams, doesnt NaVi have a better score than mouz?

its map different between navi astralis and mouse, game against faze and og are not counted. This will make: Astralis : 3 map won 2 map lose = +1 Mouse : 2 map won 2 map lose = 0 Navi: 2 map won 3 map lose = -1 Hence Navi being eliminated.

Nevermind, I am stupid, thank you.

2020-04-09 21:33

thank you man. i was really wondering why tf navi eliminated

It’s because Mouz won against NaVi

It is because mouz rigged 0-2

2020-04-10 08:07

2020-04-09 21:24

Unlucky for NAVI - the numba oneish...

Come on guys. Well, not gone from the game Flamie and Perfecto. This happens. I want to wish good luck to other teams in the fight for the title!

Come on mouse. Come on woxic!!!!

2020-04-09 21:54

Astralis Fnatic bo5 nice

2020-04-09 22:06

RIP mouz for a second time, thanks for my 1,5 wasted hours watching that match today btw

2020-04-10 00:20

2020-04-10 08:28

I have to say, I've been really enjoying this second stage event so far. It's been quite entertaining with a majority of the games. Good times.

2020-04-10 00:25

only navi could stop astralis (3-0 in 2020) , no navi so easy road for astralul

2020-04-10 00:41

Free decider for Astralis

They should give the participation reward to mouz already so they wont waste our time on saturday seeing them lose 16-0

2020-04-10 01:43

Astralis will go to the final for sure. The question is who is gonna win the final? It will be an insane matchup for sure. For me it will be 2-1 for Astralis.
