EGIP shock Na´Vi in opening match

25-4-2010 10:22

Natus Vincere have received an early wakeup call, following a defeat against EGIPTYANE in the first match of the tournament.

Looking at Group A prior to tournament start, the community saw no difficulties in Na´Vi progressing in top spot. Coming from a fresh victory at Arbalet Cup Best of Four and still with the IEM4 victory in their bag, Na´Vi went into the match against EGIPTYAN as big favorites.

Playing de_inferno, possibly one of the strongest maps of Na´Vi, EGIPTYANE went to surprise not just Na´Vi, but also the audience waking up early to watch the game. Finishing their terrorist side, EGIPTYANE noted down a 12-3 lead. The CT pistol-round saw Na´Vi running out of time and not managing to plant, in a 3 versus one situation. EGIPTYAN managed to pick up second round, but then Na´Vi stepped it up a few notches, taking 6 straight rounds. Ninth and tenth rounds were both rounds where Na’Vi saw EGIPTYAN put them to the ground, securing the three points and the victory at 16-9.

Can't be better...

Winning vs a team you are supposed to beat is sometimes harder than beating a top team. You are expected to win and you almost take it for granted and dont put in full effort. NaVi is a team that plays with a lot of energy and emotion. I cant imagine they played like that in this match. Either way, its still impressive that this team beat them. This most likely wouldnt happen in a finals match though.

Not unexpected, as I said before, they always have problems with such Russian and Ukrainian teams.

Hey I never expected Navi to ever do good in the 1st place and now they are ranked in the world scene.. I still consider them an average team, not a suprise they lost to some nobodys. Now they can go back to fail.com

2010-04-25 11:28

jelous that Na'vi had beaten best swedish teams?

2010-04-25 11:44

bunch of nobodys?? Please dont tell me you dont know xek, redman and so on.

2010-04-25 12:37

uhh nobodys? xek: one of the best snipers in the world redman: one of the best rifle players in russia xoma: one of the best all-round players in russia F_1N: very experienced player mice: talented newcomer even though they are not taking this game very serieous, when they are in a good shape they are capable of beating any world top team. I said this yesterday and still think so.

2010-04-25 12:55

Ohh, an ´average´ team? So how would you call the swedish elite teams, which have been beaten by this ´fail.com´ team a couple of nice times? What a nerd.
