Movistar Riders surprise Complexity, Sinners and Astralis go 3-0 in Group B

1-10-2021 22:25

As wins go the way of Astralis, SINNERS and Movistar Riders in round three, Endpoint are unable to progress to the Major while the Spaniards hold on for the time being.

Endpoint are out of contention for playoffs, as they will not be able to earn enough points to qualify for the Major due to their 20% points reduction for using a stand-in, having required at least a top-eight finish to have a chance.

SINNERS continue to impress in Group B with a win over Endpoint on Ancient, putting them 3-0 in the group and edging them one step closer to the playoffs where they could potentially collect enough RMR points to advance into the Major.

Meanwhile, in one of the highlight matches of the round, Movistar Riders pulled a win out against Complexity on Nuke in a match that went the distance, shaking up Group B with the stunning upset.

Sinners edge closer to the playoffs where the most RMR points are on offer.

Astralis go 3-0 following a win over domestic rivals HEROIC on Nuke. Heroic chose to play the map and elected to start on the T side following the knife round. They took the pistol, but Astralis took control of the half and went on to string eight consecutive rounds together, as Peter "⁠dupreeh⁠" Rasmussen and Emil "⁠Magisk⁠" Reif stood out before Astralis moved into the T side.

HEROIC were unable to keep a lid on Philip "⁠Lucky⁠" Ewald as Astralis held onto their lead throughout the half. Casper "⁠cadiaN⁠" Møller's side kept the map competitive in the end, but Astralis closed out the map 16-14 and avoided any overtimes.

It was SINNERS who elected for Ancient and put on an impressive T half thanks to Adam "⁠NEOFRAG⁠" Zouhar and Jindřich "⁠ZEDKO⁠" Chyba, who each finished the first half with 16 kills. Endpoint struggled in the do-or-die match but only managed four CT rounds as they battled SINNERS, who denied a majority of the gun rounds.

The British side showed signs of life at the start of the second half but overall could not get into a rhythm before the match was won by Czech team 16-9.

Complexity were slow to start on Nuke against the Spanish side. The international lineup secured some early rounds before the Movistar Riders defence came online.

Complexity flipped the momentum on the second half following a defuse that went down to the wire from Marcelo "⁠coldzera⁠" David and Benjamin "⁠blameF⁠" Bremer in the second round. Round after round went the way of blameF's squad as they repeatedly denied the Spaniards, until Movistar Riders kicked back into the gear and held off the international team 16-14.

so does smooya, doesnt matter if you are somewhat decent at the game, 1 toxic player can make 4 good players play like shit. S1mple is the biggest proof of that, when he was toxic he didnt won shit and was hardstuck in tier 2 NA/CIS and now that he grew up he is the best player in the world. Be like S1mple

2021-10-02 08:39

yeah still tier 2, but only 1 month old roster, no way you can prove to be t1 in 1 month in a total revamped roster

2021-10-01 22:51

2021-10-02 00:18

Still tier 2 but full Spanish was great for the team

2021-10-01 22:30

That Iberian family core + Alex and Mopoz experienced duo might make our scene relevant again

2021-10-01 22:38

Again?

2021-10-02 04:33

1 bo1 upset = tier 1 team

2021-10-01 23:31

Don't like Smooya, but that iteration of the roster didn't play any tier one events. Probably would have done as well or better w/ Smooya here.

2021-10-01 23:44

They changed the whole lineup. Smooya was the reason they were relevant

Mopiland <3

Astralis are Heroic's cryptonite

Lan is

2021-10-01 22:33

Yeah, that too I guess

not online

Heroic already beat astralis a couple times. Navi is heroic's kryptonite

2021-10-01 22:44

Oh sht, you're right... I totally forgot about ESL. Missed dreamhack also. Well, at least they've got Heroic's number on LAN. Also, Navi seems to be everybody's kryptonite at the moment.

Honestly good to see oskar have one last run with a young squad around him

why would you say this ? one last run ?

2021-10-01 23:23

To the Major? Come on, he's 30, he'll retire eventually

2021-10-02 00:01

Yeah why last( he could keep going on with them

2021-10-02 00:00

I honestly think the competition will get harder in the near future, many teams are in a rebuilding phase rn and oskars 30, so in the late stages of his career

2021-10-02 00:07

Well forest and fallen are still doing good + I don’t think this point about teambuilding makes sense, it’s the major!!

2021-10-02 00:09

I'm talking about the next Major, I think competition will be tougher by then, meaning Sinners would have a better shot at qualifying for this one

2021-10-02 00:17

Yeah I know what you mean, I don’t agree, don’t think much will change

2021-10-02 00:19

Coldzera, karma is a bitch

2021-10-01 22:48

this title is so confusing. Its written as if Movistar Riders are 3-0 in the group and have beaten complexity sinners and astralis

2021-10-01 22:54

nah, if they were referring to riders it would be: TO go 3-0

2021-10-01 23:07

if he just used a . instead of a , this title would be more clear for sure

2021-10-02 11:57

F major for CoL?

Ah, that's hot

2021-10-02 14:00

Movistar Riders already played against all T1 teams. Now "only" left Sinners and Endpoint. There's a chance they made it to the 12th-9th decider bracket
