How s1mple & B1T Won Navi the Most Important Rounds

[@bernabus]

I like how competitive CS:GO has evolved from just shooting heads ingame, to also defeating your opponents mentally. Knowing what the opponents are planning and going to do is also key to winning games. Elma does a great job of showing us this in-depth.

[@merabalaraq45]

Astralis caused that result.Before Astralis, cs go teams used to play like they are in the mm.Astralis is the first cs go team that came up with having plan to every kill, every nade ,holding positions....

[@kilianfirebolt]

@@merabalaraq45 not really. They were most defenatly very good at it, but strategy was always a part of cs. I belive since 1.6 esports already

[@bernabus]

Look at ENCE breaking Astralis's nuke streak, they read Astralis like a book and knew exactly how they played

[@buddhapest]

CSGO is a *tactical* shooter as opposed to games like CoD

[@iinamaehoshiina]

​@@merabalaraq45 its more like teams with loose styles just happened to be winning back then. Astralis were the first team to win with the tactical style because big didnt have good players.

[@4tCa4mzUPqRZZo]

Hey Elmapuddy, on the round that Hunter failed to plant. Was he reacting to electronic from ramp or was it s1mple opening the door? Saw some people argue that he couldn't plant because of electronic from ramp, and others saying he already got off the plant before electronic was a factor. Thoughts?

[@Paul-bt9dt]

he had to kill elec

[@srednualotbus3090]

Ye I think it was elec

[@juanrestrepo2426]

B1t's performance is insane to be the new navi guy

[@1_dvs_bstd]

Video suggestion: How Astralis are being competitive without having a dedicated awper in the current meta (Granted IEM Cologne saw them only play 5 matches with 2 losses)? G2 also has had many deep runs since kicking KennyS but Amanek is not the star awper that the team plays around.

[@panhradu]

But in-game leader is BoombI4. He is the actual brain in the team. S1mple is insane frager and its nice to see B1t keep track with others but more than anything this was a team effort and crisp coordination.

[@falsem1nd]

it's a great video, and NaVi were showing excellent performance, but after listening to a russian-speaking commentators, they said that basically NaVi besides showing these great rounds, were also doing a lot of mistakes tactically, throughout the match, but because of very high-skilled individual performance, were taking rounds they weren't supposed to. Would be very interesting to see if you caught that, and watch a video about it.

[@Dremeister]

[@charliesheen111]

8:10 was this flash supposed to land like that i mean did nexa fail the flash or amanek and niko should've turned around earlier when the flash was popping so they can't get blind? I can't really understand at the exact moment where you should be most focused because its the last round and you are basicaly rushing mid in order to either tie the game or lose the map and nexa fails a flash like that which actually cost them the map..

[@Elmapuddy]

I think it was just a timing thing, nexa was slow to leave spawn throwing a decoy on the floor to buy another nade which I think made his flash late so his teammates copped it

It is quite meaning less to analyze how s1mple play. The opponent knows what he is doing but still lose. 1:22 if I know my enemy don't have awp , I won't flash. 3:44 who can shoot back against an awp in that angle ? 11:25 I don't think he miss that smoke

What are you trying to say man? Doesn't make much sense.

@Elmapuddy only fur the best content creators 🧡 i really enjoy the way you break down rounds and you explaining process!

[@re1konn]

If flusha was the incoming T, he would have spammed s1mple around Gandalf through the smoke. Ez pz

[@kachelstacktus]

Id like to give some feedback for future videos. I usually watch them while eating, so I have to look at my food from time to time. However, the way you explain plays make them quite hard to follow, if you arent looking on the screen in that moment. The main problems are words like "this" and "here". You mostly show the relevant scene and tell us that the player goes "here" or does "this" rotation. It would be super helpfull if you could use callouts more often. Something like "S1mple rotates through vents" instead of "through here". This would be unnoticable if you just watch the video with your full attention, but would make it a lot easier to follow if you cant look at the screen constantly.

[@csgohouse6094]

*NAVI amazing*

[@HendraAnggrian]

S1mple has repeatedly dropped the smoke in that particular location in A bomb site, why not just spam him?

[@IINEXUSGAMERII]

He can be anywhere behind that smoke, or not behind the smoke at all and we see that he wasn't because was stood an angle away from it to use if he needs to fall back. We often forget that during a high pressure tournament like this, they're also focussing a lot of energy on the other 4 potential CTs and not just s1mple. Spamming him can force reloads even without a kill and then hyper aggressive plays from navi to punish the low ammo opponents. Booml4 also tried to make a play on short so they immediately turned attention to him as well to get the trade. They have no idea where electronic is, they know s1mple is tucked in Gandalf with nobody with an angle to kill him without being traded which is important because of the time to plant. That wallbang from s1mple was unpredictable af

[@michaelgoldsmith9359]

Bit delusional about that awp kill onto amanek hardly a free kill at all S1mples instant and amanek was still very very close to winning They saw each other at the same time s1mple had slightly better crosshair placement by millimetres and managed to make it work but ive seen that foght go the other way plenty of times
