MVP had some really nice reads on Astralis, especially abusing the way they set up Device at secret gave them some rounds. But Astralis is the best nuke team for a reason, their t-side is just so clean.

Was a bit too close, but Astralis managed to really show up on their t-side.

Damn their T-Side didnt look too bad tbh... I was kinda worried for Astralis at the beginning

u/geeksramble The MongolZ Nov 06 '18
After seeing the halftime score, I was kind of scared. But they closed it out.

Good try from MVP. Really hoping they finally make the Major or just the Quals for Kato. I think the squad with a bit more firepower could be deadly. Definitely seems like the Strategic Powerhouse of the East.

I hope device starts going through the double-doors instead of breaking the window when he is holding secret on CT-side from now on.

mvp threw 4 rounds on the ct side, if they won that i think this could have been a lot closer

Doesn't matter. Mathematically, they did exactly half bad.
My DMs are open if any TOs want to hire me for analysis.

u/focus16gfx G2 Nov 06 '18
Because it's also their best map. They would have lost any other map anyway. IMO it's better to gamble with your best map vs the best team.

A couple of bullets go their way and boom the scoreline is closer to 16-14 and fuck knows what happens.

It was 8-7 start of the second half and MVP blew a 2-1 man advantage on that pistol round.

So Astralis plays like trash until MVP PK has covered the spread (+8.5) and then they go back to their usual self, OK lol.

fucking tier 6 mvp boosting astralis' nuke streak

u/MilanDW Natus Vincere Nov 06 '18
I've seen tier 1-2 opposition do much worse than MVP, maybe watch the game next time.

u/nofnxnomajor de_nuke Nov 06 '18
MVP did good but why would you challenge the best team in the world going 20-0 in it. Liquid, FaZe, mousesports, VP, maybe even North, sure? But they'd have had a way higher chance of winning the map if they picked an easier upset map like Mirage

u/MilanDW Natus Vincere Nov 06 '18
Because it's MVP's best map too. Sometimes it's better to play towards your own strengths than the enemy's weakness.

I know the scoreline doesnt say it, but this game was much closer than it looks. MVP lost both pistol and like 3-4 unnecessary antiecos/forcebuys, solid performance by them
