NAVI beat Virtus.pro to advance to playoffs, mousesports eliminate FaZe at DHM Spring

30-4-2021 01:14

Natus Vincere are set to lock horns with Gambit in Group A's upper final, while MOUZ have another elimination series against G2 ahead of them.

Natus Vincere have locked a spot in the DreamHack Masters Spring playoffs after beating Virtus.pro 2-0 in Group A's upper bracket final, while FaZe have been eliminated at the hands of MOUZ following a nail-biting finish to a three-map series between the two international sides.

Dzhami "⁠Jame⁠" Ali's squad are set to play another regional matchup in the group's lower bracket against Spirit, which is scheduled for Friday at 16:45 and will be followed by MOUZ' clash with G2 at 20:00 .

The early elimination comes as a tough blow to FaZe, who have been unable to impress in every tournament they have attended so far since Finn "⁠karrigan⁠" Andersen joined the team earlier this year. The European mixture has now exited three consecutive events in the group stage, and they have also failed to secure a spot at IEM Summer following an unsuccessful campaign in the closed qualifier in late April.

Perfecto turned up in great form in the VP series

Natus Vincere picked up a comfortable victory over their regional rivals despite getting off to a slow start on Dust2. Virtus.pro seemed to have the upper hand when they didn't let their opponents string rounds together on the CT side, but a forcebuy victory spearheaded by Kirill "⁠Boombl4⁠" Mikhailov helped shift the momentum, and after sides switched Oleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev's flashy 1v2 clutch on A brought the Jame-led squad to heel. Inferno was just a matter of complete domination from Natus Vincere on the CT side on the back of a second-round win, followed by a quick closing in the second half.

Meanwhile, MOUZ took on FaZe in a back-and-forth series. The first half of Mirage rested on a knife's edge with the latter team coming out ahead before they put together a flawless defense led by Russel "⁠Twistzz⁠" Van Dulken and Helvijs "⁠broky⁠" Saukants.

Robin "⁠ropz⁠" Kool & co. replied with a strong showing on the Terrorist side on Nuke to equalize the series without too much trouble, and it all came down to Overpass. FaZe looked in control when they picked up a 9-6 half on the offense and went on to clinch the second pistol, but MOUZ turned things around with Frederik "⁠acoR⁠" Gyldstrand leading the way to force overtime, where they finished off the job.

I mean look at the B-plant defence with B1T and compare it and defence with flamie. B-plant always have been pain in ass for Na'Vi. A big hole in Na'Vi CT-side because flamie couldn't properly frag. He got positions, where he supposed to do atleast one frag, but mostly he just got killed and that's it. But with B1T it looks so amazing. Every time B1T is doing one-two frags while defending the site.

I kinda hate how G2, faze and mouz were in the same group because only one team might go through and it seems like it will happen like that

none of them will go through

I forgot to mention NaVi aswell but it seems like they should be fine because they are a top 5 team

Only 3 teams go through to playoffs, so mouz/G2 need to beat winner of spirit/VP match

I mean VP/Spirit aren't looking good....

2021-04-30 10:55

Yenkindar just stop carryng this bot

VAMOUZ!!!!

Mouz threw more rounds than FaZe did... and we still won! VAMOUZ!

2021-04-30 01:18

Some people watch the Merseyside derby or the El Classico...I prefer the CLASH OF CHOKERS aka mouz vs faze

Unfair, Mouz aren't chokers, they're screw ups. Chokers fail at the final hurdle whereas screw ups can do so at any time or they might just win in unlikely fashion. And tomorrow we'll see the true clash of the screw ups: Mouz vs G2

2021-04-30 01:50

I mean mouz failed at the final hurdle vs navi when they lost against deags. And vvs Faze it was went to OT as well cause the final hurdle - Faze's eco - overwhelmed them

2021-04-30 21:49

Ez for australian cs

2021-04-30 01:19

They need another superstar to compensate karringans and rain/colds (depends) poor firepower, They peak high but below acceptable most of the time. They had all the tools; Big names, relevant igl, time ( 4 months), and they are bootcamping atm.

They've had 2 months with karrigan, 1 month with robbaN

2021-04-30 02:31

Yenkindar was must go to Navi not to this shit

2021-04-30 01:20

YEKINDAR to mouz

2021-04-30 01:28

Or mouse but į think he speak russian so for hem more EZ in navi

2021-04-30 01:31

He's speaking fluently both Russian and English.

2021-04-30 01:37

-Bymas + Yekindar could be great.

2021-04-30 07:22

Imagine leaving a team of 4 youngsters with untapped potential for a team with 2 washed up veterans and a low impact awper, must be someone as idiot as Karrigan. I don't hate anyone or any team but it makes me happy to see Faze lose to Mouz. Karrigan took a wrong decision.

2021-04-30 01:22

Hell yeah boy

2021-04-30 01:26

Not really he received a better financial offer too good to turn down in latter stage of his career

2021-04-30 05:56

better paycheque for retirement mensss

2021-04-30 16:32

Omegalul karrigan ... Remember what he said? "I'm joining FaZe because i want to develop and become best IGL in the history of CS" Now gets beaten by his ex-team and kicked out of tournament. KEKW

2021-04-30 01:23

And Lose in hands of dexter LUL

Probably the worst decision of his career, unless he was just hungry for money and faze were offering bigger sallary.

2021-04-30 01:30

Also take a look at his behavior now and then. In mouz karrigan often seemed happy, clapping, cheering with his red toy, etc. In faze he always seems extremely serious and even sad i would say. Imho he had more fun with youngsters, and things looked more promising than now.

2021-04-30 01:34

He nor firs time join faze so nothing new

2021-04-30 01:33

Hahahaah. Give me a call when he becomes better than gla1ve, pronax, nafany, cadiaN, FalleN, even Zeus.

Twistzz made more frags and? Nobody cares he is just another washed up Niko that plays for stats and cant win

2021-04-30 17:25

Same with ropz now losing to g2 lmao. So basically ropz and twistzz equally shit, but twistzz at least frags more

2021-04-30 22:09

hardcore twistzz fan LUL. I think Twistzz has great aim but far less game sense than ropz

2021-04-30 22:11

I agree. Ropz probably has the best game sense after the top 4 from last year. But twistzz imo is the better fragger(under karrigan, he's really good at making players shine), so that's why I said what I said. As a player, ropz is better any day of the week. But sadly hltv top 20 only cares about trophies and frags. Not game sense

2021-05-01 18:50

FAZE DOWN EAZY

twistzz vs 5, happy that mouz won tho :)

Poor twistzz and vp playing so bad

2021-04-30 17:13

Reminder that everyone said "karrigan > dexter" when the karrigan move happened LUL

2021-04-30 07:39

Karrigan is better than dexter but he joined a team with players that already won everything or too much and didn't improve since 3 years. Unlike mouz. Everyone evolved the last 3 years a lot. Karrigan had taken the money over players with a good ambitions

Although I agree with some of your points, when karrigan joined FaZe, he said that he wanted to cement his legacy as one of the best IGLs, that he felt that this team had what it takes to win tournaments. Maybe karrigan is better, but in that case, if his words are true, his decision making on leaving mouz wasnt a good or a smart move. Hopefully he proves me wrong tho

2021-04-30 19:56

Felt bad for SANJI. At one point, he had more frags than his team combined on inferno and he kept dropping guns and played Glock armor

Surprising Faze is out of the tournament, more likely Mousport is irregular troop, only Ropz is a player of some renown, Frozen has prospects, the left is unnameable

i'm waiting for LAN, where teams like NAVI, Astralis will just smash these GamBOTs and Squirtus.low with 16-0 scores.

2021-04-30 09:59

2021-04-30 10:20

Aleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev also known as undisputed GOD of the game, the best player to ever touch the game.

B1t show things flamie didn't show the last 2 years And karrigan all jokes on him... I said faze is worse than mouz cuz the players are old and just farm money. Compared to ropz who wants to win

2021-04-30 17:09

+1 B1T is amazing

2021-04-30 19:50

NaVi is looking great atm., if they will keep it up I think they can be contender for the biggest titles with B1T. VP is struggling insanely lately, they are making huge mistakes as a team and individually, the firepower is not there, overall I think it's only a matter of time before we see changes. mouz is still sometimes lacking firepower when it comes to fighting with the best teams in the world, but other than that they have some life in them. FaZe looks dead, and I think changes are needed, they are not looking like a good team.
