Hey guys, just a quick update from Moscow.

Yesterday we played in group C with Gravitas and mYm, after we won our first match against the Russians, we faced Gravitas on Inferno. In the beginning we were a bit shaky, because Gravitas won against us few weeks ago, but we knew by the fact that if we wanted to reach our goal (top 3 ) for this tournament we had to win, and we did. After that we played mYm on nuke, a map which we felt pretty confident in. Sadly for us, we lost 14-16 after leading 8-7 as T.

Today we started out against the Ukrainian team who surprised all and everyone by winning against Roccat and playing 15-15 against mouz. We never underestimated them in the match and could crown ourselves winners with 2-0.

Then we met mighty SK, we watched a demo on inferno and that was extremely important for our start, we won 14-1 as CT and pretty much knew we couldn’t lose this map even though you have to take every single round serious. We won the map 16-5 and we were about to play their map, de_nuke.
We won the kniferound, and chose to start as CT. We started out pretty bad losing the gunround, which is very important on nuke. However we just focused on our own game in the 4th round and won like 10 rounds in a row. 11-4 as CT, the ball was on our side.

Anyways, there is a thing called Swedish people rock on nuke, and they did, we made some mistakes, but there is no doubt that SK got one of the best defences on nuke and they showed. Losing 3-12 meant we were going to play the last map, train.

Like on nuke, we started out pretty shaky, losing the important gunround as CT on train, however we won the 4th round and started believing we could pull ourselves back together after a big disappointment on nuke. But no, they won the 5th round and we had to take two eco-rounds, they suddenly had 7 rounds, and people started to lose the thought of a final in Moscow. We managed to come back in the game by losing 7-8 as CT, and you guys probably know that its really bad to lose a CT side on train. We lost the gunround and things didn’t get much better in the nextround. They had 10 rounds now, and if we wanted to win we REALLY had to start taking some rounds. Rounds after rounds, we got our A game going as T, and started believing ourselves, showing some NoA spirit by making the audience go crazy. Some of the rounds were fantastic where there were 3 seconds left and mJe couldn’t plant, we knew where the last guy was and won the round with 0 seconds left.

We won the match and are now facing either mYm or fnatic.

Take care guys! Love you all
