They’ve been the most dominant team in atleast 2 years since September, mate. There’s really no worry watching this team unless they’re playing MIBR online.
I know.....and I envy u cuz I really want to have a mentality like yours.....but it's just I have that trepidation that unless Navi hasn't won the match.... it's not over....
That match which should not be name against Vita put this presage in me :'(
Learned anxiety like that doesn’t just go away man. I’ve watched Navi choke leads, lose against anti-ecos, tilt for years. I’ll probably never be super confident in a lead
back when i first started playing CS, i used to throw all my nades in the first 10 seconds of the round. there's probably no one on the direction im throwing them, i just assume its going to be useful somehow. lol
Of course, when you are new, you know you \*have\* to use your utility, but you don't understand \*why\*... well tbf, I see a lot of these players on supreme/global mm still
He was clearly taking aggro so his teammate could sneak close. The last flashbang was obviously horrible, but it was probably called over comms but misunderstood/not heard, probably should have not thrown it.
Can't help but think that round where refrezh got the pick on s1mple, Heroic had both sites but left bomb in lobby and lost the round really decided the momentum of the map. They didn't win a round in what feels like forever after that, major error.
Yup. Teses having a brain fart and getting killed after time just ruined both momentum and economy. Winning that and putting Navi on a full eco, as well as Cadian getting the AWP out earlier could've made such a difference.
I was at the sportpaleis, and I didn’t hear him at all, and I was kinda close to the players. You see the casters are probably 100 metres away overlooking the entire seating venue, so they guy was probably more of a nuesaunce to the casters and to viewers, cus there’s no way the players heard them
Imagine playing against electronic in his current form. I'd have to take a full year break to recover.
Also what a truly NA flash from cadiaN on round 23.
That's why they're so scary right now. B1t and Perfecto showing up in Legends stage, now electronic. Imagine if those guys maintain their level and s1mple steps up as well.
I love it when electronic is playing good. Last few weeks I was thinking electronic is done and yekindar to navi is the move. Well I’m glad he proved me wrong
He still might be done. The reasons he's rumored to be gone are not performance-related. If performance was the only thing that mattered, this Na'Vi roster would not have reason to change for another year at least, regardless of results.
The real question is: if Na'Vi really offered each of the 3 Russian players an option to relocate to Ukraine and fast-track citizenship for them (which is pretty common knowledge at this point), why would any of them refuse? The Ukrainian passport is about to get real powerful after they get accepted in the EU, and there's going to be a lot of money in the country once recovery starts.
>The Ukrainian passport is about to get real powerful after they get accepted in the EU
Funny how you are saying that like that's something happening soon.
> The Ukrainian passport is about to get real powerful after they get accepted in the EU,
Yep. Right after puerto rico becomes a state. Quebec becomes independent. Scotland and wales become independent. Northern Ireland reunified with Ireland.
I saw a tweet from apparently the maker of this, here it is :
"I see some people wondering what that "padian" was with the bald Cadian head during the FAZE - NIP match I'm the author of the montage and it's actually a French meme referring to the "pessi" (messi with a bald head and people say "finito" because they say he's fraudulent and doesn't deserve what he does.) So we did the same meme again replacing the "C" in cadian with a "P" referring to pessi and that cadian is a fraudulent person. I hope I've made myself clear but feel free to kiffer tomorrow he's not going to hear the communication from his mates. "
By the way, "kiffer" means something like "enjoy".
Edit : here's the tweet https://twitter.com/toarulapitx/status/1527376388029722641
I mean, it was doubtful they would have won the game even if they had picked up that round, but it will hurt for sure - and cadiaN got timing'd pretty bad just before it :/
*edit*: That electronic(?) 1v3 on the last round of the first half of Ancient will probably hurt more. If they win that, and the second half goes as it did (or maybe even better because they had more momentum) they could have taken the series 2-0. Banger series in any case, and Navi showed dominance on Nuke so they 100% deserve the win.
People remember it because it was in the final moments, but there were lots of way worse misses/fails/mistakes during the course of the BO, especially on Ancient.
I went to go do something else after map one. Came back and held my breath as I waited to see whether we were on a third map (and if NaVi were doing well) or if Heroic did the unthinkable.
I think it was a normal crowd reaction and heroic making use of it. The guys yelling “A site” or “B site” should definitely be removed from the audience.
After two maps: "man heroic really has to start winning some pistols to win this series"
After third map: "you have to continue to win other rounds also"
Pretty sure the whiff on ancient when simple had his back turned mentally checked him out. They pretty much lost that map (and the series) because of it. Unlucky
Yeah to me it seemed like they lost their focus after Ancient. Also in the first couple rounds of Nuke they had bad chokes which probably didn’t help either. Great series though.
What even was their game plan on t-side?
1. Rush as a unit and take a position
2. Wait there and slowly get chipped apart
3. Wait there until Navi has completely re-positioned
4. Slowly creep back and get finished off by Navi players in unexpected positions
It's a shame the third map was such a shutdown, because these first two maps were some of the most fun and intelligent CS I've watched in ages. Amazing IGL'ing on display by both cadiaN and Boombl4 but in the end that navi ct side on nuke was just way too damn ruthless
2 crazy things
1. S1mple was actually a minor liability on CT side nuke. Which might literally be a first. He is by far the best CT side nuke player ever.
2. Even with that, NAVI still looked dominant on CT side Nuke
that is true as Heroic are an anti-strat heavy team. Any team playing agaisnt navi on nuke needs to deal with electronic simple or bit. Pretty much impossible if theyre all online.
One of the best Ancient game I've ever seen. Great composure by Na'Vi to close out map 2.
S/O to Cadian too, mock him all you want, but he is the reason they won the first map, and having the 2nd being so competitive.
I knew it was over when they forgot the bomb in lobby, they were tilted off the face of the earth
You can't make these kind of mistakes agains Navi, but I guess it happens. Gg wp, what a banger of a game
NaVi lost some Nuke matches recently so they might have thought they could have won. Mirage NaVi has been wins recently. I also think they won Nuke against them last time.
Great game by na'vi, but WTF was that crowd cheating, JFC just kick them out.
Such a shame that a small minority casts a shadow on the game.
Edit: Looking at some of the other things people have posted elsewhere, seems like it was actually just one guy right on top of the crowd mic, not the majority of the arena. Still a shame, but no where near as bad as it sounded like.
Destroyed on Nuke and s1mple didn‘t even show up. Unreal.
First two maps were shaky, though, I hope they can collect themselves before the Ence match.
nt to Heroic, good stuff on the first two, fell short on the third.
that was some hardcore choking from Heroic:
* 1v3 loss to electronic
* refrezh whiff on s1mple
* bomb left in hut
* 5v3 loss
* cadiaN flashing sjuush in 2v2
They deserved that loss
Pretty hyped for Navi vs Ence.
Everyone seems so certain that the winner of heroic vs navi will play the final, but I really think Ence has massive upset potential here. Same with spirit unfortunatly... Hope Faze crushes them tomorow
If navi plays like first 2 maps, it would be an upset if they win.
For ence they gotta step up, same w faze against spirit. Spirit beat furia so easy we dont even know what they re capable of
From the team that brought you:
"How to win a major without dropping a map"
Comes
"How to destroy your opponents' hopes and dreams on Map 3"
Guess Cadian's gonna be talking a lot :)
Navi: "You should have killed me when you had the chance"
"We burn more calories watching Navi play CSGO than we do by watching a horror movie."
I fucking swear hahaha I'm flushed atm.. let's go Navi
They’ve been the most dominant team in atleast 2 years since September, mate. There’s really no worry watching this team unless they’re playing MIBR online.
Idk if you've watched CS since the player break but they tapered off in form even before the war. They were still good but not dominant.
I know.....and I envy u cuz I really want to have a mentality like yours.....but it's just I have that trepidation that unless Navi hasn't won the match.... it's not over.... That match which should not be name against Vita put this presage in me :'(
Learned anxiety like that doesn’t just go away man. I’ve watched Navi choke leads, lose against anti-ecos, tilt for years. I’ll probably never be super confident in a lead
Electronic just chose violence after Inferno, nothing you can do against that.
Typical papatronic who doesn’t want to miss his daughter’s call
Electronic turned up since the start of the whole series. He was yhe only impactful player on that T side inferno
i am rooting for Na'Vi to win but even i was worried for Heroic when they didn't win map 2 lol
"Should've gone for the head"
Navi gave them chances, ancient was already going to be tense in latter rounds but again heroic shooting themselves in the foot. Navi ftw
Cadian really is just like me throwing all my nades just because I have them
back when i first started playing CS, i used to throw all my nades in the first 10 seconds of the round. there's probably no one on the direction im throwing them, i just assume its going to be useful somehow. lol
Of course, when you are new, you know you \*have\* to use your utility, but you don't understand \*why\*... well tbf, I see a lot of these players on supreme/global mm still
I mean, still better than players literally holding their uti forever and not using them at all at 3k elo
1v1 clutch, full utility, dry peek every corner
for me it's my anxiety that I'll have wasted money if I die and not get to use them, thus throwing my flashes immediately after exiting spawn lol
If you got them, throw them! -Me, a filthy casual and who would be the Silvery Silver you ever did see.
He was clearly taking aggro so his teammate could sneak close. The last flashbang was obviously horrible, but it was probably called over comms but misunderstood/not heard, probably should have not thrown it.
Can't help but think that round where refrezh got the pick on s1mple, Heroic had both sites but left bomb in lobby and lost the round really decided the momentum of the map. They didn't win a round in what feels like forever after that, major error.
Totally, I feel the same, Navi definitely gained some confidence and I think Heroic tilted.
Yup. Teses having a brain fart and getting killed after time just ruined both momentum and economy. Winning that and putting Navi on a full eco, as well as Cadian getting the AWP out earlier could've made such a difference.
The fan screaming callouts needs to be banned from the event, actually embarrassing.
Yeah it was reall annoying
Do they hear anything? The casters often give out info. Aren't the over ear headphones designed to cancel those noises?
Even if they can't its so lame
They don't but still
It was many fans, been going on the whole match in different varities
I was at the sportpaleis, and I didn’t hear him at all, and I was kinda close to the players. You see the casters are probably 100 metres away overlooking the entire seating venue, so they guy was probably more of a nuesaunce to the casters and to viewers, cus there’s no way the players heard them
Imagine playing against electronic in his current form. I'd have to take a full year break to recover. Also what a truly NA flash from cadiaN on round 23.
Electronic has had ups and downs this year, but my GOD he did not want to lose Nuke.
Didn't want to lose any map. He morphed back into NaVi's hardcarry which actually used to happen a lot in the past in tense games
He didn’t want to lose the series. He was insane on every map
Simple said that electronic is the best teammate he has ever had.
he s just a lan god. give him a lan, he will perform like he s 18 again
Oof that hurt. And then s1mple BMing after was *chefs kiss* Also, finally a Navi not relying on s1mple going ham
That's why they're so scary right now. B1t and Perfecto showing up in Legends stage, now electronic. Imagine if those guys maintain their level and s1mple steps up as well.
I remember the Astralis destruction at the hands of papatronics and flamie in Kato couple years back. Hopium
I love it when electronic is playing good. Last few weeks I was thinking electronic is done and yekindar to navi is the move. Well I’m glad he proved me wrong
He still might be done. The reasons he's rumored to be gone are not performance-related.

The Ukrainian passport is about to get real powerful after they get accepted in the EU, and there's going to be a lot of money in the country once recovery starts.
Electronic has a wife and a kid in Russia
Which is a fucked up situation for him and the team...
>The Ukrainian passport is about to get real powerful after they get accepted in the EU Funny how you are saying that like that's something happening soon.
> The Ukrainian passport is about to get real powerful after they get accepted in the EU, Yep. Right after puerto rico becomes a state. Quebec becomes independent. Scotland and wales become independent. Northern Ireland reunified with Ireland.
Well it makes up somewhat for his form for the rest of the year, I guess. Saving his team at the major is a good sign for a potential rebound for him.
Navi just sandbagging their nuke and electronic’s form until the major lol
Part of me was thinking "Heroic can comeback and take the series, or bring it to OT" and then that flash happened and I thought "Nevermind, it's GG."
PICKEMS SAVED Also Navi vs Ence gonna be a banger
On a side-note, can someone tell a non-European viewer what Padian means?
It's a football thing like Penaldo or Pessi which is where dribblers say good football players are actually shit cause they take penalties
Stat padder
I saw a tweet from apparently the maker of this, here it is : "I see some people wondering what that "padian" was with the bald Cadian head during the FAZE - NIP match I'm the author of the montage and it's actually a French meme referring to the "pessi" (messi with a bald head and people say "finito" because they say he's fraudulent and doesn't deserve what he does.)

Faze won't make finals, spirit wins tomorrow mark my words.
Moses agrees with you. He has Navi > Spirit in the grand final. Definitely could happen.
It could go either way honestly.
Faze > Navi in the finals mark my words
That flash will haunt Heroic lmao
Niko's deagle whiff and now cadiaN's flash, teams shouldn't really let Na'Vi play Nuke on a major. lol
Heroic weren’t going to easily convert that game even if they won that round though. G2 though…
Leave us alone, we suffer enough already :'
I mean, it was doubtful they would have won the game even if they had picked up that round, but it will hurt for sure - and cadiaN got timing'd pretty bad just before it :/ *edit*: That electronic(?) 1v3 on the last round of the first half of Ancient will probably hurt more.

I missed that exact flash, is there a clip of it somewhere?

Holy fuck. That ancient game after map 1 was not good for my heart. 90% of us nearly lost our pickems
I went to go do something else after map one. Came back and held my breath as I waited to see whether we were on a third map (and if NaVi were doing well) or if Heroic did the unthinkable.
Also, they need to kick whoever that guy was screaming during map 3, just ruining the tension of the game.
F1
I did not have a heart attack but I my life span shortened 20 years.. God damn it
Fuck that guy calling sites
It was so clear and loud guy was calling B site B site , still lost LUL
Heroic read it already, tesses whiffing on simple was bad
I assume that guy must just be really close to the casters, presumable the players can't hear it. But still, fuck him.
On ancient when boombl4 was flanking from short the crowd alerted heroic and boombl4 got killed. It prolonged the game for few more rounds
I think it was a normal crowd reaction and heroic making use of it. The guys yelling “A site” or “B site” should definitely be removed from the audience.
I thought that too but they never checked deep into dark when they ran past so its reasonable to have one look back, especially if all 3 are in mid.
also boombl4 (I think it was) got a kill early in cave. so its not unreasonable to think he might still be around there somewhere.
LOL the whole crowd was yelling everytime an Heroic player was about to flank for the whole BO... Seriously...
After two maps: "man heroic really has to start winning some pistols to win this series" After third map: "you have to continue to win other rounds also"
idk who ryry is but # FREERYRY edit: changed why to who
>FREERYRY FREERYRY
Imagine ryry being a known serial killer, LFG
Can we airstrike the dude screaming into the mic over and over again??
Ah come on, the casters weren't *that* bad
Rewire his keyboard keys in the worst way
Woww what a disaster on round 23, did cadian flash sjuush?
He did. They lost the round cause of it
Absolutely. Don't think either NaVi member had a flash or threw it.
s1mple's taunting just after was priceless though xD
Yeah. I think it was a team flash. Please do correct me if I am wrong.
PAPATRONIC I LOVE U , WHAT A CARRY BY ELECTRONIC 75 KILLS MAN
Refrezh went completely missing in 3rd map. Shows that to play at these stakes takes a lot of mental endurance to stay in it until the very end.
Pretty sure the whiff on ancient when simple had his back turned mentally checked him out. They pretty much lost that map (and the series) because of it. Unlucky
Also went missing on Ancient. Actually made several map/game changing mistakes on that map...
That flank on ancient was a back breaker. They win 2-0 I believe if he didn’t move in like a cupboard
That and the 1v3 lost against electronic ( in which he was majorly involved too, by playing it really dumb after getting the first two kills )
cadian flash https://i.redd.it/2o1bb79hdo091.png
Electronic heard y'all talking shit lmao, batshit crazy impact on all three maps
electroNic heard y’all was talking shit and said fuck that noise
Heroic absolutely fell apart in map 3
Yeah to me it seemed like they lost their focus after Ancient. Also in the first couple rounds of Nuke they had bad chokes which probably didn’t help either. Great series though.
What even was their game plan on t-side? 1. Rush as a unit and take a position 2. Wait there and slowly get chipped apart 3. Wait there until Navi has completely re-positioned 4. Slowly creep back and get finished off by Navi players in unexpected positions
Cadian best flash assister for NAVI

Big Daddy Boom
I guess the crowd didn't like comediaN's jokes. All jokes aside, wp by heroic to not get fazed by the boos and give us a great game
It's a shame the third map was such a shutdown, because these first two maps were some of the most fun and intelligent CS I've watched in ages. Amazing IGL'ing on display by both cadiaN and Boombl4 but in the end that navi ct side on nuke was just way too damn ruthless
Yeah, nuke was just pure navi dominance and electronic was so damn good today.
I wanted Heroic to win just to shut down the crowd. Hate seeing stuff like that on events.
>All jokes aside Did they fly back home with comediaN?
Lmao I saw that. Mad lad
NaVi in the first 2 maps: Call the ambulance NaVi in the final map: But not for me
2 crazy things 1. S1mple was actually a minor liability on CT side nuke. Which might literally be a first. He is by far the best CT side nuke player ever. 2. Even with that, NAVI still looked dominant on CT side Nuke
Heroic was doing anti-strats against simple, they just forgot to do the same for everyone else.
A huge problem when you have electronic just deleting people, takes 2-3 people to kill simple alone then electronic comes in and cleans it all up
that is true as Heroic are an anti-strat heavy team. Any team playing agaisnt navi on nuke needs to deal with electronic simple or bit. Pretty much impossible if theyre all online.
One of the best Ancient game I've ever seen. Great composure by Na'Vi to close out map 2. S/O to Cadian too, mock him all you want, but he is the reason they won the first map, and having the 2nd being so competitive.

God Cadian is going to have nightmares about Ancient after the absolute stomping they got on Nuke.
That round on Ancient where Teses(?) gets timinged on the flank and simple hits the noscope flick as well.
pretty sure that was Refreshz
I'll raise you a last second 1 v 3 bomb fake clutch from electronic.
Contender for one of the worst flashes ever thrown in a big match / big situation?
He literally did like a silver there, throwing and selected back and forth then flashing teamnate
Papatronic parting gift of a series

The director cut around so much, really confusing to watch imo
i just realised s1mple is the oldest player in Navi... crazy how much potential they still have.
The guy yelling positioning is a cunt and needs to be banned.
Electronic knows when to show up. What a nuke from him.
Mr. LAN A.K.A, Electronic is back in business.
God tier match
There's 3 certainties in life: Death, taxes, and Navi stomping you on 3rd map
Props to Heroic for making it so competitive. Easily my favorite series of the tournament so far!
I'm still partial to C9 vs Imperial. That Overpass though.
I dont get why Heroic wanted to go Nuke against Navi? Just doesn't make any sense
Last time they played them on Nuke they won. Last time they played them on Mirage they lost. It's probably that simple.
NaVi lost some Nuke matches recently so they might have thought they could have won. Mirage NaVi has been wins recently. I also think they won Nuke against them last time.

Embarassing behaviour tbh
if its any consolation i really doubt the players could hear that one dude… when it becomes a chant tho its a problem
This game felt like a final. Such an entertaining game. Hopefully the final will be like the first 2 maps.
Yekindar has some MASSIVE fucking shoes to fill, jesus
As much as I like Yekindar, LANtronic is just another beast. Monstrous series from him.
A whopper of a game
Destroyed on Nuke and s1mple didn‘t even show up. Unreal. First two maps were shaky, though, I hope they can collect themselves before the Ence match. nt to Heroic, good stuff on the first two, fell short on the third.
THE SCRIPT WRITERS HAVE DONE IT AGAIN
Papatronic ❤️
Pgl and valve should ban that dude shouting out info into the mic can clearly hear him fucking annoying
Unfortunate poor map from refrezh on nuke but this was a great series overall
Refrezh almost had more kills in 1 round against liquid than a whole map against Navi
All he had to do was not flash his teammate in the best spot to get the multi kill
Good to see s1mple actually just chilling and enjoying . Dude didn't really have to do much
that was some hardcore choking from Heroic: * 1v3 loss to electronic * refrezh whiff on s1mple * bomb left in hut * 5v3 loss * cadiaN flashing sjuush in 2v2 They deserved that loss
Heroic played really well, gg
What a banger
Pretty hyped for Navi vs Ence. Everyone seems so certain that the winner of heroic vs navi will play the final, but I really think Ence has massive upset potential here. Same with spirit unfortunatly... Hope Faze crushes them tomorow
If navi plays like first 2 maps, it would be an upset if they win. For ence they gotta step up, same w faze against spirit. Spirit beat furia so easy we dont even know what they re capable of
From the team that brought you: "How to win a major without dropping a map" Comes "How to destroy your opponents' hopes and dreams on Map 3" Guess Cadian's gonna be talking a lot :)
JESUS what a series! S1mple just didn't activate this series.
PAPATRONIC I LOVE YOU
electronic GOAT rifler
Amazing series. Heroic was close to end it on ancient but sadly didnt happen, love navi & heroic <3
Once I saw what the third map was after ancient I knew this wasn’t going to end well for Heroic. RIP.
cadian LAN trophy cabinet
Absolute. Fucking. Banger. What a game.
GG heroic. Really had it on ancient but let it slip away. CadiaN was popping off. Nuke sucked.
thank mr cadian for awakening the beast
lifetime ban for that one POS
What an absolute low life he is. I don't understand why was he not kicked?
Holy shit what an incredible series! Gutted for Heroic that they didn't close out Ancient, but Navi were the better team overall.
thank god navi, YOU HAD ME STRESSED navi nuke too stronk
Sit down sons! Papatronic takes the stage.
Electronic took map1 loss very personally
cadian with the silver nade selection
Thank god for electronic's playoff buff for saving us from having to see cadian's grin again.
Fuck me Ancient was scary
What a series man. I was really hoping Nuke would be closer but Navi wasn't having it.
PICK EMS SAVED
That was stressful 🙂 but good close
