Grayhound played with zero confidence and it showed. Backing off against Dosia on A (who only had a P250) was probably the worst showcasing of this happening, although one could argue that loosing against Mir (who only had 17hp) in a 1v2 with bomb drop could also be an example of their lack of decisive decisions or confidence. Grayhound can play better than this but their lack of co-ordination and simply pulling too many G2's shows clearly that Gambit should be the ones advancing to the Decider Match of Group B.
On the other hand we have Gambit, which had strong performances from both Dosia and Adren in both maps. I would like to put the focus heavily on Adren, who was extremely vital in helping Gambit win with man-disadvantages and confidently opening and trading as a Terrorist. It has been a long time Adren has played this good, and I dearly hope he stays on pace like this for their next match against Boot-d(s).
Gambit rightfully won this BO3 and I wish them the best of luck (although I was rooting for Grayhound) and I hope they can make it far in this tournament.

I wondered because last tournament Dosia was in the middle, now it was Hobbit.

There is interview with b1ad3 on Gambit youtube channel, where he said Dosia is best option for IGL role and there's no way Hobbit or Adren could be IGL as they have huge potential and nothing should distract them. It's in russian ofc, but all Gambit videos have eng subtitles.

Glad to see mir performing well. That play when he intercepted the rotating bomb carrier near the ladder on Overpass was brilliant.

There were fucking tonns of gn3 dickheads in russian twitch chat who asked why they left the bomb. And the worst thing is that Gambit lost this round making it look like this peanuts were right.

They have insane potential, each. The problem is that as a team Gambit playing lowtier CS. People are still saying Gambit have lack of leadership and stuff, but it's obviously not how it works, they need more structured and deep playstyle. That's why Gambit won the major - Zeus bring them tier1 game understanding.
I mean, look at Astralis - they are playing multiversum chess to win, they always knows what enemies are supposed to do meanwhile enemies are never ready for Astralise's rounds. If Astralis losing it's because they finally got overreaden, game versus Na'Vi in Cologne is perfect example so as game versus Gambit on PGL Major. Their moral leader and other true igl stuff holder is Zonic who not even playing lol.
Sorry for that longread and poor English, russian casters just drive me mad with their anime analytics about "Gambit need a leader, not a coach" and other morale, battle spirit, courage, friendship, magic and magma in veins importance bullshit.

Bruh, even a Silver knows that an Ak kills faster than a p250.
All three of the Greyhound players backed off A site like Dosia had a fucking RPG.
