NAVI plow through FaZe to set up rematch with OG

17-6-2022 18:21

The international squad's journey in Portugal has come to an end.

Natus Vincere have secured a spot in the semi-final of BLAST Premier Spring Final 2022 after defeating FaZe 2-0 in the first quarter-final of the day. It was a short series, with the Ukrainian core overwhelming their reigning Major champions on both Dust2 (16-6) and Inferno (16-1) without too many issues.

Despite coming into their first event with Viktor "⁠sdy⁠" Orudzhev as a stand-in and Denis "⁠electroNic⁠" Sharipov as an in-game leader, Natus Vincere were able to secure a top-four finish after successfully recovering from a loss to OG on the opening day of the tournament. Now Andrey "⁠B1ad3⁠" Gorodenskiy's men have the opportunity to get revenge, facing the European mix on Saturday at 16:30 for a spot in the final.

Meanwhile, FaZe's stay in Lisbon has come to an abrupt end, only counting one series win against paiN and a disappointing loss to G2 in the last game of Group A. It's the second consecutive tournament in which Robert "⁠RobbaN⁠" Dahlström's men are eliminated in the quarter-finals.

NAVI did not break a sweat during the series

Starting the series on Dust2, FaZe displayed some of the same problems they showed on yesterday's game against G2. The international squad was unable to make any advances on the CT side, conceding seven consecutive rounds to a patient Natus Vincere offense. electroNic was playing at the top of his game in terms of individual form and calling as the Ukrainian core constantly broke FaZe's defenses with both slow rounds and quick changes of pace towards the B site. The Finn "⁠karrigan⁠" Andersen-led squad went into the second half facing a discouraging 2-13 deficit.

After Natus Vincere converted the second pistol, there was very little FaZe could do to stop the inevitable, and despite a few good hits on the B site, Oleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev put an end to their streak with two solid retakes, closing the map 16-6.

After electroNic was done tormenting FaZe on Dust2, he tagged s1mple in for Inferno and the Ukrainian superstar immediately got to work in the pistol round with a crucial 3k on the B site to start a seven-round winning streak. In scenes reminiscent of 2018, electroNic and s1mple occupied the top-two spots a the top of the scoreboard as Natus Vincere cruised to a 14-1 halftime lead. FaZe's offensive never found momentum despite a few good moments from Helvijs "⁠broky⁠" Saukants and switching sides did not help a single bit. After claiming their fourth pistol round of the series, the map went the way of Natus Vincere with a 16-1 scoreline.

SOMETIMES I WONDER ARE YOU OTHERS (MOST OF YOU) BLIND: They would got 1st place in Group A, IF KARRIGAN had picked their best map nuke to their second map, instead he picked their worst map Ancient which they don't even know how to play, they would been 1st in their group (HIS TEAMMATES know that, you could see it in their faces) This killed his teammates motivation to play Again in this game vs NAVI, KARRIGAN could picked their best map Nuke, but he picked NaVi's better map KARRIGAN'S ARROGANT behavior have killed his teammates motivation After Major Karrigan lost his motivation, he need to be cut and add IGL with starplay level fragpower -KARRIGAN +BETTER

OH MY GOOD MAN ITS NOT KARRIGAN'S FAULT, he is igl ing good, they played like mm players, thats it

2022-06-17 19:01

8 replies

they played like mm, because their IGL had lost motivation after achieving everything after winning Major If your IGL pick their worst maps and tell teammates to play like pug/mm, what you expect to happen? I hope others in FaZe understand to remove Karrigan, they could take DEGSTER instead who is IGL and 10x better player than karrigan

I've met him too, he's on a supermarket to buy some food. I asked to take pictures with me and asked him what's his plan for the future. and he said "I'm gonna win more major until astralis_6_major changed his name to fase_6_major"

2022-06-17 22:13

Hahaha 2 weeks ago everyone was calling Karrigan goat now everyone saying kick faze up

2022-06-17 23:20

SOMETIMES ALL I THINK ABOUT IS YOUUUUUUUU LATE NIGHTS IN THE MIDDLE OF JUNEEE

2022-06-18 00:07

you are delusional if you say faze is not good on inferno

2022-06-18 06:40

Hahah there hasn't been a frag consistent IGL since prime gla1ve and you wanna kick karrigan. Bruh there aren't even decent IGLs, let alone one that can frag. If faze were to kick karrigan, they would just go back to winning nothing

2022-06-18 15:16

If you would understand anything, you would know it made no sense pick their worst map ancient instead of their superior best map nuke vs g2 yet, karrigan did it and did it again vs navi after major he haven't been same after he have now achieved everything at age 32 instead of doing smart he rather want have "rush" taking challenges that doesn't make sense also after major faze have been playing like pub/mm, no more good teamplay, and i am sure its because of karrigan if faze ever want to get to winning tournaments, they need igl who have hunger to win things, hunger that karrigan doesn't clearly anymore have also rain is overrated because he had one good tournament (major) and rest been bad -karrigan (+DEGSTER) -rain (+ ZywOo/NiKo, i bet either of them want to join if give chance)

2022-06-18 22:20

Hahaha bro a few bad map picks can't erase history. Coming from a guy saying navi should disband, I can only assume you are trolling. Btw I see you are a new member here. Whether is it because you got banned or you are not into csgo for that long, it's obvious why your opinion doesn't matter at all. Plus it's plain wrong anyway

Bruh…. Navi did the same thing after last major. If you’re gonna call them a fluke you gotta call Navi a fluke which just isn’t possible.

2022-06-17 18:43

What did they lose after major? Lmfao they won fall final and world final after that the next event they lost was spring groups but those were online bo1s

lol humiliating .. i though it would be some good series

wtf

Natus plowcere

device haircut diff

I still can't believe Faze lost 2nd map 16-1 and that round was pistol round. It's quite something. Big win for Navi for sure

navi won both pistols on inferno

2022-06-17 18:29

They won a round where NaVi were like half a second too late to plant the bomb haha

2022-06-18 17:47

Oh another one? Pretty classic for Navi lol

2022-06-18 17:55

Vacation mood already

That is what happens when elec and s1 top fragging

2022-06-17 18:24

Makes me worry for navi a little bit though. Its a great result for them but this event ofcourse with a stand in looks like theyre relying on S1mple alot again. The series they lost he wasnt doing well and now the 2 they stomp hes in form again.

2022-06-18 08:18

You cant put a 16-1 down win on 1 player.

2022-06-18 17:48

Sorry I didnt mean that individual match "but this event"

2022-06-18 17:53

rain is back

back to 0.95 hero

2022-06-17 19:11

Rolled over That was pretty underwhelming by Faze

Please skip the Roobet Cup, Faze looked tired as hell and need to prepare for Cologne

I would take major victory over this any day of the week, but still nice to see how NaVi prepared and tuned in exactly to roll over Faze.

can we upload this match in xvideos?

It ended faster than MR12 so I hope im not gonna hear ever again that games are too long kekw

Twistz just stressed about inflation in Canada give him some slack boys.

what exactly does "slack" mean?

2022-06-17 18:27

It's about a rope. If a rope is very tight that means there isn't much of it to pull anymore. However when a rope is not tight, the portion hanging down is called "Slack." This expression basically means to give Twistzz some breathing room, not be too critical of him. For reference here is Rope Slack: c8.alamy.com/comp/CNAGGW/rope-tied-up-wi..

2022-06-18 08:19

Shocking.. sad.. anyway Faze up!!!! No matter what!!!

What a disappointment I expected more from faze

Lets go NAVI!

here i was imaging 3 maps NaVI wins one map convincingly Faze win one map convincingly last map absolute warfare with OTs and shit only 1/3 conditions were satisfied

well if you copy first condition name holder and replace it with second conditions name owner you can have 2/3 PepeLaugh

XD in any case, good to see NaVi play this well

yes

c9 took their soul.

the definition of getting deleted.

major was obviously fluke as it was the only moment rain decided to perform

if we all look back to elige going 2-*insert number of deaths*, apply that to all of faze honestly like they were losing every aim duel robban coach debuff + electronic igl buff

2022-06-17 19:53

Do you even know what is the meaning of "Fluke"? If you don't please allow me to teach you. Fluke happens when an "UNDERDOG" team wins a tournament over big dogs ONLY ONCE and doesn't win anything after that. FaZe won Katowice, pro league then major. Does that sound like a fluke to you ?

2022-06-17 20:30

Fluke has no connection to an underdog. It just means it was an above average performance that most likely wont be repeated or that form continuing afterwards

2022-06-18 17:49

the real fluke was 2018 major loss to NA

2022-06-18 02:18

what a stomp :X

If you don’t know who they are , probably you gonna think that Navi adult was bullying Faze kid

Faze only win 7 rounds of 2 maps?wth?

Should have been 3 rounds... Navi was up 14-2 on CT side D2 and lost 2nd round force

2022-06-17 19:54

Humiliation

2022-06-17 18:30

Faze fluke exposed by god s1mple and Navi

name

NATUS PLOW

top1 team only getting 7 rounds in 2 maps lol

did you watch how they just kept losing aim duels?

They also lost tactically. Karrigan himself said in post-game interview that Navi always stacked the correct site. Electronic's brain is too big.

2022-06-18 08:13

yeah i saw that too i wanna see electronic end up being better igl than boom honestly

2022-06-18 21:30

And it's looking good so far for electronic

2022-06-19 07:02

best IGL ever

hltv article writers! dust2 is mispelled as dus2!

faze obviously threw the series for whatever reason IMO.

Faze didnt know what to expect from electronic as an igl and a new stand-in. Plus b1t electronic and sdy played some different spots than what they used to, so demos couldnt be useful. Plus s1mple was on his A game. There was so many factors in Navi's favor. Faze just had an awful day.

2022-06-18 08:16

Big Oof, wp navi.

karrigan cant watch demos and making a stratbook against a new igl and a standin... somehow he is clearly not a top igl.

gg wp Ez for NaVi

Not to even mention that if Electronic went earlier, it could have very well been 16:0

fist case of bird disease

Lmao

no -rain +jks comments yet?

2022-06-17 18:36

team top 1 lol EZ faze BOT clan :)

*hateful comment towards luck clan*

*indicates flare and implies you harbour a laughable opinion*

2022-06-17 18:39

*indicates flag* lmao the best the best team in the world could do in two maps was 7 rounds vs a standin, a new igl and a s1mple that wants to take a break???????

2022-06-17 18:44

Apparently he is in hurry and want to clear out shit fast xD

2022-06-17 20:38

Lol +11 that's how it seems like. He did say he wanted to deny Faze a grand slam.

Get a grip faze

s1mple is hungry

Well now we know FaZe are absolutely washed team, no hungry to win after Major , this teams is over,

2022-06-17 18:41

NaVi just have a great game. That's all

2022-06-17 18:42

7 rounds in 2 map. and they get only 1 rounds in which they picked

I like plow, very tasty

Agree

like KATOWICE 2020 lets see whats happen

gg navi

Boomich exposed

NAVI played insane CS. Well done to them.

Expected from super pros

2022-06-17 19:05

close game

ahahah very close game

2022-06-18 23:45

WHERE ARE ALL THE KARRIGAN FANBOTS NOW??? WHERE ARE ALL THE ''GOAT IGL'' THREADS???????????? When will you idiots learn that this is the CLASSIC karrigan cycle?

2022-06-17 19:08

Who cares? Karrigan and Rain won a major. Faze won a major. I think they'd he happy to not give a fuck for a tournament or two.

2022-06-18 09:25

I think s1mple's "most important thing is to not let FaZe win the Grand Slam."

2022-06-17 19:12

S1mple middlepart 100% winrate🥶. Sdy Carrying navi by inspiring s1mple with new hairstyle. Keep sdy plox.

2022-06-17 19:20

Stop that shitshow about Faze era, that never was an era. With form like this they clearly not a No. 1 team now, still have that spot because of points earn, last half a year they was clearly best team and dominate 3 huge tournaments including Major. But after Antwerp this is totally different team, im still happy finally their won Major and hope this form is temporary, don't need to be No. 1 team but be competitive in tournaments again and stop throwing like t2 team. GG to Navi too :)
