Na`Vi still hanging after Anexis win

6-3-2012 16:50

Natus Vincere avoided early elimination thanks to coming back from the dead in their clash with Anexis, recording a 16-14 victory.

Despite Natus Vincere being big favorites against winless Anexis, memories of their previous encounters suggested it won't be easy at all, as the Danes had previously defeated the Ukrainians on a few occasions, including a 16-4 win at ESWC.

The map choice turned out to be de_inferno, for the third time today as far as the Ukrainians are concerned. However, Anexis turned out to be better prepared for the start as they went on to lead 9-4. Natus Vincere won the next two round, but Anexis went into the second half with another pistol-round win.

The Danes climbed on to 13-9 and 14-12 leads and they seemed to be in the driving seat, but Na`Vi managed to repeat their efforts from the mousesports match, as they mounted a 4 rounds in a row comeback for a 16-14 victory, including an ace by Ioann "Edward" Sukhariev in the last round.

Although the Ukrainians saved themselves with this win, they still need to defeat ESC Gaming in their last match if they want to stay in the tournament.

Nice

I'd sure as hell like to see a team win IEM three times in a row! Mainly for historical purposes.

Haha. Doesn't count in CS, sadly ;)

I'll stick up for you guys! mainly because trace deserves about a bazillion golden trophies @ the international stage, and so far is at one I think, from Dreamhack Summer 2011, and because I've always been a f0rest fan so obviously SK may take the gold as far as I'm concerned. Then again, I'd love to see lions/semxorah win it aswell, but I deem that way less likely, despite lions' fantastic performance at DHW.

2012-03-06 16:55

it depends on rounds then

2012-03-06 17:01

if SK>TyLoo and NaVi>ESC - TyLoo is out

VALIDOL :D:D:D

Now situation is pretty equal. If SK will lose against TyLoo they will eliminate ESC or Na 'Vi (depends who lose). But then TyLoo will have 12 points and direct advance to semis. I think that not gonna happen. SK will win against TyLoo and they will have 13 points, TyLoo with 9 points and ESC with 12 (if they win) or Na' Vi with 10 (if they win). So if ESC win: 1. Sk. 2. ESC. 3. TyLoo. If Na 'Vi win: 1. Sk 2. Na'Vi 3. TyLoo/ESC (depend on round diffrence)

ESC won against Tyloo and that will take ESC to the third place, not roudn difference

My mistake, sorry.

and if draw ?

2012-03-06 17:07

you forgot what happens if SK ties against Tyloo. Then Na'Vi has to win at least 16-2/3 depending of tournament rules. If there is not this common rule in this tournament that if two teams has the same amount of points the one who have won their match will advance. In that case with 16-3 score navi would have to win the coin toss.
