markeloff: "Tomorrow will be tough"

3-10-2010 05:27

After making their way to the Grand Final against mTw, we got hold of Yegor "markeloff" Markelov and asked him to comment on their playoffs' performances and the upcoming match against the Danes.

The Ukrainian team find themselves in final match of another major event, when they take on mTw to decide which of the two will take home the WCG 2010 gold. mTw is a team very familiar with WCG top3, while it is the first time the Ukrainian team will play a WCG Grand Final.

Natus Vincere made their way to the match against mTw by defeating Lions, bet4gamers and Frag eXecutors and according Markelov state that only the match against the Poles was a tough one.

"The game against Lions was pretty easy for us, same goes for the match against bet4gamers. Against FX, it was really tough match for us, we had a lot of luck in the last round on dust2, where we didn’t have enough money to buy, so we bought deagles and won it. On tuscan we crushed their economics on T side and I think we really dominated them."

About playing the Danes in the final, the Ukrainian AWP'er told us the following: "I think they [mTw] deserve to be in the final for sure, they have been playing really well in this tournament and crushed all the teams they have played against. I think tomorrow will be really tough for us, as they will know how we played today, they will study our demos, but we will study theirs, too. I am sure it will be a really good match between us."

When quizzed about if his team can be considered the greatest of 2010 in case of a win against mTw, Markelov answered: "For sure!"

Good Luck Na´Vi mTw just played well but... We will see what can do mTw :)

"I am sure it will be a really good match between us." I and we all hope so!

lol

Markeloff. A New Legend :). Anyway, coL.br need to bootcamp in Europe and practice with teams like Na'vi. Zeus is famous for studying the other team's demos and copying strats and making em better. That's what coL.br should do cause I noticed in their matches against mTw and tyloo coL.br wasn't exactly sure what to do in some situations. *btw I'm a coL.br fan before a random Brazilian fan and I'm being realistic.. starts flaming me saying "OMG COL BEST IN WORLD U SUCK"*

2010-10-03 17:54

Idk, it seems pretty retarded that you incorrectly put the wrong adjective form of retard there. It should be retarded.

2010-10-03 18:55

flame for what, why? your cigarettes....?

2010-10-03 14:30

the reason why their tactics are like that is cuz nak is their in-game strat caller and leader so its been quite disappointing in my opinion... bit should fill up this spot like in old mibr.. at least with bit they seemed more organized and consistent stratwise

2010-10-03 17:09

I'm a Big Fan of Na´Vi's game. I'm expecting a huge play of both teams!

2010-10-03 05:38

go markeloff, you're a king!

2010-10-03 05:43

Also ceh9 is playing brilliantly!!

2010-10-03 16:16

Great game against fx i expect the same in final! think navi will take the win :D gl all

2010-10-03 05:45

damn I wanted to see lucky shots from fnatic :/ anyway...

2010-10-03 05:46

do the interview with him after they receive gold medal :))

2010-10-03 05:56

Na'Vi will winn this surely ;)

2010-10-03 06:06

It is at this time, the world looks to peekay. waiting, watching...

2010-10-03 06:07

Honestly don't care who wins this, both deserve it! Although, I'm more partial to mTw!!!

2010-10-03 06:40

Actually, in my opinion, mTw don't deserve to win the WCG. They lost my respect because they were cowards in their group matches to avoid the hardest brackets (without reason of course, they're a such amazing team).

Just as some imply FX did last year, wheres the difference?

2010-10-03 09:13

Not only that, but you should also consider WCG's poor research when they made their groups. They didn't spread out the heavy hitting teams. Also, the announcer during the live feed said that zonic said that they didn't 'throw' the match, they simply decided not to use any strats in a match that didn't matter so that the bigger teams couldn't anti-strat them later on. They do the same thing in every sport known to man. You save your strats for opponents you know you'll need them for, not waste them on a match that doesn't matter. They didn't intend to lose, they intended not to give away their strats too early.

2010-10-03 11:10

or both?

2010-10-03 11:46

They can beat k29 16-4 by rush b1 15 rounds in a row, don't be ridicilous :)

2010-10-03 12:22

no difference, excewp now its 2 teams that lost respect from me too

2010-10-03 14:32

In the past these teams have clashed an tied on many maps im exspecting it to be a great match.

2010-10-03 06:49

mTw is in top form and all the players are in good shape....Yea NA'VI is very consistent dats y it dosnt dey r nt in shape..... Btw it will b a gr8 match to spectate...... GG guys

2010-10-03 08:17

2010-10-03 12:43

Go Na`Vi, do your country proud !!

2010-10-03 10:22

gg gl

2010-10-03 10:27

Cen9 - i hated this guy(in terms of playing), but now when his nervous come in a peace with his mind - he became much smarter player. It's pleasure now for watching him, instead of previous times. Btw Pasha started playing also amazing. Finally outsiders became favourites!)) So with 5's member in a squad(new cen9) Na' Vi is able to beat mTw, who in a very good shape now. Best wishes both!

2010-10-03 10:29

Winner of WCG 2010: Natus Vincere markeloff <3

2010-10-03 11:05

go Na'Vi!

2010-10-03 11:37

Na'Vi Tashite!!!!

Gl to both teams!

2010-10-03 11:43

Na'Vi will win this only fnatic can do something to Na'Vi :)

2010-10-03 11:45

Yea Na'Vi and fnatic play on other level than others team.

2010-10-03 12:03

No, I don´t think so. If they came out with 19:17 against FX then it means for you other level? Don´t think so.

2010-10-03 12:53

às #45 says clearly FX are on the same lvl as Na'Vi and mTw always played really really close with them so they're on that lvl as well.

2010-10-03 13:38

If Na'Vi takes this they clearly desearve the title of TEAM of the year. Anyway, i'm cheering for the denmark side :)

2010-10-03 12:06

if markeloff on fire, navi will win :=) gl

2010-10-03 12:30

Na'Vi has definitely been the team of 2010, without much of a doubt. While fnatic finally brought back the lineup that garnered them success last year, so far it's yet to be back to the form it was previously. CS is so up and down these days, it's hard to predict who'll show up and win any given tournament.

2010-10-03 12:58

2010-10-03 13:08

Hope for mTw. GO zonic!

2010-10-03 13:18

Markeloff > mTw ;) :D

2010-10-03 13:35

ukrina will probably rape those mtw guys pretty easily...

2010-10-03 13:48

youtube.com/watch?v=UJmyMA9xvaY&feature=.. Nixon wanna bet 50 bucks?:D

2010-10-03 14:00

Im rooting for mTw even tho they lost on purpose to k29. They are still one of my favourite teams. (fnatic , mTw , TyLoo)

It`s not only markeloff . The best aimers are ceh9 and Starix , never the less Zeus is a very good in-game leader , Edward is very good for 1st pistol rounds and Markeloff comes in clutch rounds :) . So Markeloff is something like the 4th or 5th man of the squad because he is the awper .

2010-10-03 14:35

GL Na`Vi and mTw... this is gonna be tough.. but my bets are on [can't decide].

2010-10-03 14:54

go mtw

2010-10-03 14:56

ceh9-> people questioned why he was in Na'Vi. ceh9 went from an extremely slow but clutch player, to an extreeemely smart, quick, and fast aimer AND clutch. ceh9 and starix are being the strongest players in Na'Vi for this wcg. starix-> A monster, this guy frags 0 in a round, then drops 2,3,4 on the following round. edward-> extremely consistant, always does the necessary ammount of frags. He has yet to go crazy on wcg, but ceh9 and starix havent been leaving many guys left to frag Zeus-> In-game leader, and as fnatic once mentioned, Na'Vi is the smartest team of all times, Zeus will anti-strat the crap out of a team in the middle of a match. Markeloff-> I believe markeloff's much more of a clutch player than starix and ceh9, markeloff almost never dies lol, and wether its a 1v1, 1v2, 1v3, if markeloff goes for it, be it with awp or rifles, you just have to cheer for the guy :P Na'Vi's the top team of 2010 mainly because they DONT have a weak link at all, their lineup is made up of 5 great aimers, 5 great clutch-players. It's very hard to beat a team where even when they only have 2 guys left, its still a very big challange to win the round

2010-10-03 15:26

I'm expecting a 'rollercoaster' match between them. Don't have any favorite here, just let the best team win.

2010-10-03 15:27

Some people here are really stereotypical if you think Na'vi have no challenges and only fnatic are their rivals. All these teams are good, and they all can do some damage. I think mTw also beat Na'vi last time they played, I believe it was written in one of these articles.

2010-10-03 15:30

FX beat Na'Vi last time they played. At least I think it was FX. mTw didnt. Not saying mTw cant win Na'Vi, mTw is a great team too, but you have to agree that the 2 teams 'to beat' are Na'Vi and fnatic

2010-10-03 17:56

MTW!

2010-10-03 15:53

yegor my fav player u deserve gold medal

2010-10-03 16:03

NA`VI!

Na`Vi will win this one...If Starix does not awp and Markeloff focuses on AWPING, Na`Vi will win this FOR SURE...With ceh9's current form this is going to be easy...
