mousesports knock Astralis down to Flashpoint 3 lower bracket

23-5-2021 21:07

The squad led by Christopher "⁠dexter⁠" Nong continue their upper bracket journey after beating the Danes 2-0.

MOUZ defeated Astralis 2-0 to advance through the Flashpoint 3 upper bracket, where they are now waiting for the winner of G2 vs. Ninjas in Pyjamas in the upper bracket final. The European combine are yet to lose a map in the Regional Major Ranking tournament, as they took out both fnatic and BIG with 2-0 score lines before their clean victory over the Danes.

"I’d like to play G2 again, I actually love playing them, there’s always mind games going on," dexter said regarding a potential future match-up against Nikola "⁠NiKo⁠" Kovač and company. "I’d like to take revenge on them because they beat us the last couple of times."

Meanwhile, Astralis are still alive in the tournament following their first defeat in the upper bracket, as they had previously beat OG and DBL PONEY, both 2-0, and will now face the winner of HEROIC vs. Vitality in the lower bracket semi-finals.

frozen showed fine form against Astralis with a 1.28 rating

Astralis took a slim 8-7 lead in the first half on their map pick, Nuke, despite starting on the attacking side, as Peter "⁠dupreeh⁠" Rasmussen led the way with 15 scalps to his name at the switch. MOUZ regained the lead early on in the second half, although they weren’t able to run away as Astralis struck back once they were able to get their CT-side economy in order. The map stayed close all the way to its dying embers, with Astralis hitting match point and breaking mouz’s economy, but dexter and company were able to push overtime on a forcebuy, which they wound up winning after six rounds, 19-17.

MOUZ got ahead on Overpass early on despite losing the pistol round, turning an 0-2 start to a 5-2 lead. David "⁠frozen⁠" Čerňanský and company kept pushing on their map pick, feeling at ease as they hit double digits on the attack, 11-4. MOUZ slowly closed in on on match point, but Astralis didn’t give up and started to work on regaining lost ground. Ultimately, it proved to be too little too late, as mouz managed to cross the finish line 16-12, closing out the map and series to further progress through the Flashpoint 3 upper bracket.

2021-05-24 10:39

????? All that arguing comes from that i said German instead of Germanic, its my misunderstood of english, not an actual case.

2021-05-24 16:22

Yes I know, stupid cuz Germanic is only a linguistic term

2021-05-24 16:23

Sorry my friend my english is really bad :( hope you have great day anyway bro

2021-05-24 16:29

the difference is that we are allowed to smoke weed and they aren't.. get over it. plus it even says in our national anthem that we are of german blood. LOL

2021-05-24 06:19

you think culture, history language is sll the same? get out... also you know why english call us dutch and not netherlandisch? because dutch is old dutch for nederlander, the anthem says we are from dutch blood in old-dutch, we stoped using that word... this fact is 1 google search away but i get it cuz its always one of those wacky facts about the dutch anthem!

2021-05-24 10:38

dutch is old dutch for nederlander? you lost me there. English people drive on the left and also call the whole country holland. I fail to see the point? Dutch was used for both people from germany AND netherlands. found out with 1 google search germany still calls itself Deutschland, basically dutchland, we say we're from duitse bloed, it's all one and the same. nowadays there is no national identity left in either country but historically it's the same people man.

2021-05-24 11:56

nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diets this is what is used in het willelhelmus, germans and dutch are not the same now and back then, it was created to spark nationalism in the then still divided netherlands, a Fleming Hollander or brabander all had their own identities and didnt think of themself as dutch or nederlands.

2021-05-24 12:07

true, neither do i feel that way. nothing to be proud of nowadays :) thanks for sharing that wiki page anyway, didn't know that

2021-05-24 12:10

the English still call us dutch because of the (mistake not old dutch) middle dutch name for our languages, or languages kinda. thats was my weird comparison. but if you want to be german then go mens! im sure they would appreciate you!

2021-05-24 12:14

hahaha, i mean.. i will never be german because the borders the kings and queens decided on say i'm Dutch as per birth certificate. but I am germanic, that's for sure. and of that I am proud.

2021-05-24 12:17

i find being proud of these things very weird honestly, its just where ur born and nothing else, also germanic is a very general and vague term.

2021-05-24 12:21

ok, well i'd like to understand where you're coming from but that would require me to know you. people inherently want to be part of a social community. the easiest way is through nationalism if there is a strong base culture for this type of expression. NL lacks that pretty much so instead we have a strong sense of belonging to a LGBT community, zwarte piet discussion, football culture, maybe associate with a city/neighborhood on a communal level or anything random people choose nowadays. but there is no strong 'Dutch' nationalist feeling, not even during football anymore. individualist society where it's just me, me and me.

2021-05-24 12:28

The lexical similarity between German and Dutch is roughly as similar as that between Spanish and Italian. While German and Dutch are quite similar in terms of vocabulary, they do differ significantly grammatically. This is because Dutch has evolved to have a ‘simpler’ grammar structure for a learner. German has 4 cases while Dutch has none. This is a major difference. Theres no different ethical group as you both German, its like i would say that Czechs are different ethnical group than Poles (which we both Slavic)Nothing wrong with that you can have your reason to not like/would not like to be compare to Germany but overall you guys are very close

2021-05-23 22:00

11 replies

also wdym with "both german" dutch is different ethnic group then Deutsche (Germans in English but thats kinda confusing) you come with no proof why that would be the case but you do say that Czechs and poles are different but again with no proof and what does that even have to do with this conversation.

2021-05-23 22:11

I said poles and czechs are the same etnical group same as Germany and Dutches. Literally elaborated whole langauge similarity and that you guys are the same etnical group with Germans. What you think the ethnic group of Netherlands is then?

2021-05-23 22:46

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_people ethnicity is a group (in this case the Dutch) we have our own traditions, culture, ancestors bla bla you can see the definition in #62. It’s obvious we have that but you’re just ignoring that and saying we are the same as German. Im not nationalistic but still that’s very ignorant and insulting.

2021-05-23 22:53

The Dutch (Dutch: Nederlanders) are a West Germanic ETHNIC group en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanic_peoples en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanic_languag.. Sorry it seems that i used wrong word for what i meant but i wasnt ever insulting or ignorant, which likely i think its pretty ignorant to send nationality and cant read a first sentences to realise that you are the game ethnic group with Germans, thats all what i meant to say.

2021-05-23 23:16

Seriously... is that what you ment... I thought you meant we are same as German like the guy who reacted to me meant. Yes Germanic but that’s very broad just like Slavic and Latin, that first guy was talking about Germany as in Deutsch

2021-05-23 23:19

Quoting his comment" you must be very close buddies.. ideologically, politically, ethnically..." he said that you guys are ethnically reallt close and you said that you guys are 2 different ethnic group, he didnt said that Dutches are German so thats why i defend his point. If i would use germanic instead of German we wouldnt be talk that much so sorry for mispelling

2021-05-23 23:36

Yeah those brits with their weird words, in Dutch we call ourself Nederlander but back in the day we said something close to Dutch (which brits still call us) but deutschers became German instead of Deutsch...

2021-05-23 23:38

The terms Germanic peoples and Germani are used to avoid confusion with the inhabitants of present-day Germany, including the modern German people and language. So thats why i should put it

2021-05-23 23:42

good read, ty

2021-05-24 16:37

so by that very logic finland an hungary are the same since their languages have common origins

2021-05-23 22:15

Not because the Hungarians are Ugro-Finnic and Finnish are Baltic-Finnic and also Estonians are pretty close with Finns so you missed the point a bit

2021-05-23 21:11

look at this beautiful team that karrigan built and also look at frozen outside on nuke playing in all the karrigan roles destroying everyone lol

2021-05-23 21:20

No he was not. Both Dexter and karrigan are amazing igls. Both faze and mouz will improve, they just need time.

2021-05-23 22:34

GG , kudos to Mouz. Was always gonna be a 2-0 affair if Astralis didnt win the first map which they should have but gave away many rounds and advantages and deserved to lose at the end. Losing 2 rounds against pistols with full buys as CT side , no bueno. Mouz vs G2 in the next stage of the tournament would the decider for the best Intl squad atm.

No imo even if Mouz gonna win G2 gonna be still best int team just because of their "consistency" but yeah Mouz looks really promising and they're finally on the right path to the top10 I'm just curious what karrigan feels right now

2021-05-23 21:13

its deserved whatever he feels. If he actually thought that a team with 2 washed players had more of a future than a team full of young potential to the brim , he is an idiot. If he did went for the money , i am pretty sure he doesnt give a F.

2021-05-23 21:17

Yeah i think the money is the answer here cuz i also don't believe in his words about winning major with FaZe roster at least the current one but i think he also didn't believed but what he could say? I just care about money? Twistzz + Broky is good startup but really far from Ropz and Frozen duo

of course he wouldnt say that he switched for the money , but he does know in his heart as to why he did took the decision and if money was the priority , he would still be contented with it. Twistzz and Broky are good but they are still not as good as Ropz and Frozen. Twistzz is inconsistent unlike Ropz who rarely has bad games while Broky though gets consistent kills is still quite impactless with the awp This Mouz roster can go huge heights , there is a lot of potential in here.
