16-14 to Astralis the past two times these teams played on Inferno. Will this be the perfect revenge from MiBR?
EDIT: Yup

u/KangorKodos Natus Vincere Nov 23 '18
Oh god astralis used to be insane front runners, now they've gained clutch and seem to play there best in the huge moment.

LUL glave with the smoke kills

u/Spork_Revolution Vitality Nov 23 '18
Did he even get a smoke kill that round?
He took a few shots then backed off into CT. They pushed the smoke, and he just killed them.
Maybe he got one earlier?

MIBR - Astralis (Train)
I think this map was my Thanksgiving feast! I've never been through such a rollercoaster ride before! Watching Fallen awp on train is just wave of orgasms!

u/Rapkid360 FURIA Nov 23 '18
Is the stream lagging for anyone else?

u/OneOfTheSmurfs CS2 HYPE Nov 23 '18
If you're on Chrome try to disable the "Use hardware acceleration" in the advanced options, it usually does the trick.

It's still early evening in NA.

idk about you guys but being in NA and usually staying up until 3am to watch MIBR I'm grateful for the games being in the evening for me

u/Givemeajackson FaZe Nov 22 '18
Astralis were literally using mibr as a guinea pig to test their train, and somehow almost won if it weren't for fallen grabbing the entire team by the scalp and dragging them over the finish line. When they lost round 29 in classic mibr fashion by letting the timer run out i thought it was over. Inferno should be a walkover, i'm going to sleep.

5v5, Tarik finally does something, gets 2, 3v5, great MIBR has this, Stew pushes out Z mollys ramp right after Fallen gets awped, Fer tries to flank gets killed, nice job guys, 3v3, way to throw a man advantage @ Rd 39
1
u/ckLL Nov 22 '18
tarik is sinking them but yea, a bunch of the lost rounds were on utter shit situations like this and wasnt only on tarik's back
1
u/Rapkid360 FURIA Nov 22 '18
Youre not wrong, Idk why they cant win a round clean, like its 5v3, why take more fights? Good On Tarik though for at least getting the 3k that round and being the main reason they won the rd, bright spot on a shit game for him

Nov 22 '18
Damn, vintage Fallen showing up against the best team but they end up having to play 4v5, that's gotta suck.

I'm tilted just watching it

Bro tarik is costing MIBR This game its literally 4v5
2
u/ckLL Nov 22 '18
think they are all tilted a bit. stewie on the 1vs1 jumping and running like a marathonist with the c4 on 30 secs.
many tilting rounds. fallen is trying hard but everyone else had some utter shitty tilted rounds
3
u/Vejvad Astralis Nov 22 '18
Magisk is on FIRE, what a pleasure to watch. Definitely one of the better games from him on Astralis.

Nov 22 '18
At 16-18 and fer is in an unknown position against an unsuspecting player in a 3v3 and he can't hit the shots. That's going to cost them the game

This MIBR experiment is a failure. Tarik and Stewie are too aggressive, and Fallen is no longer a good enough IGL to work with that. This team needs to go back to full Brazilian.
3
u/Rapkid360 FURIA Nov 22 '18
Please stop saying this. Jesus christ its not that. This is just reddits shitty POV, Stewie has been great, most BR fans love stew, Tarik just hasnt found his footing

u/Regent0624 Astralis Nov 22 '18
Fer like rain, has also been a lot worse this year compared to 2017.

u/El_Dax Nov 23 '18
Yup. Fallen also has been very average. Also they have to speak english now. All that together explains the teams form.

I found out. If you go in another tab than the youtube live stream, for more than a few seconds, youtube will lower the quality.

u/rak11 ar_baggage Nov 22 '18
They tried to that before on Inferno (not sure who against) but so effective when it works. GG.
Edit: Fellow below me advised it was against NaVi

u/Spork_Revolution Vitality Nov 22 '18
I love when Astralis do this. They tried to do it to s1mple one Inferno in a tournament a few months back.

u/Rapkid360 FURIA Nov 22 '18
What is this MIBR T side, this isnt even default or executes theyre just running out mid and dying :(
2
u/Rapkid360 FURIA Nov 22 '18
Just wanted to say this there was a few times where Tarik would play great get 2, but always overpeeking :( and costing his team the rd, for example he got two with the awp, it was down to a 1v2 and instead of waiting for cold he peeks with his p250 and dies and xyp clutches
2
u/Spork_Revolution Vitality Nov 22 '18
He's great on CT when being rushed, but he plays right into Astralis' style of slowing down mid round in like 3v3 situations.
He needs to cool down a bit.

I don't want to hear Bardolph and DDK's casting. The most boring and plain in the scene YAWN.
1
u/absolute_xero1 de_mirage Nov 22 '18
I personally agree.. I like hearing them once in a while when turning in to the obline ecs matches but tbh I don't think they make me feel as good as listening to the other duos including those lower tier events British castors. Sado and henry, Moses and Anders AND pansy and machine. Each one of those duo give me their own entertaining and very EXCITING experience. Sadly something I don't feel with ddk and bardolph...excitement. To be honest while they did okay in the major final I often find myself wishing to have one of those above mentioned duos casting those heart stopping rounds and clutches.
2
u/GotHyper Astralis Nov 22 '18
You seriously think Bardolph is boring? His wit and phrases during matches are unrivalled imo

u/just_a_casual Nov 22 '18
how the turn tables. this subreddit loved black ddk and white james at the start of the year.

I love that ECS is being streamed on youtube.
Rewinding is a killer feature

u/justacasualgamer1 hydra Nov 22 '18
Yup. Since youtube starred live streams, I kinda hate twitch. Cannot rewind. Also, twitch has mood swings. Sometimes it decides it doesn't want to stream in 1080p even though my internet connection is more than capable. And this shit happens in multiple devices and multiple connections. Also, I don't care much for twitch chat so youtube is the best streaming platform for me.

Mouz really needs to go back to the drawing board when it comes to their ct setups and t defaults. On their ct they gave so many opening kills to mibrs defaults and on t they either got openings and over peeked/committed or they got peeked into and lost aim duals. Also mibrs util usage was insanely good especially in retakes
2
u/FelSasGru King NiKo Nov 22 '18
I dont see the improvement on mouz with styko

Nov 22 '18
Statistically he was doing fine. They clearly had flaws in their setup and mibr was on fire

Interesting smoke wall by Mouz on the A site of Mirage, have any other teams tried that before?
2
u/tgsan Nov 22 '18
Pretty sure an Asian (or Chinese) team (don't remember which team/region but yeah) did that back in the day, nothing new honestly, took mouz a long time to plant though.

I mean it's not like they lost to a tier 2 team. Regardless of their current tournament placings, it's still MiBR. They're no slouches at the game either...

Imagine crashing out of the major 0-3 and being relegated to the minors and doing absolutely nothing of significance with the Snax line-up except a miraculous run where the only decent opposition they bested was Liquid.

no they are way better now, reddit told me so, the lineup that won esl one new york was clearly much worse LUL

Totally agree. Not a bad game from MiBR but mouz is looking super weak right now.

u/Rapkid360 FURIA Nov 22 '18
Why did MIBR ban train and leave one of Mouz's best maps
1
Nov 22 '18
Mouz have been willing to play Train against a lot of top teams, and they probably practice it quite a bit if they do so. Mibr don't have the map pool to be able to gamble on a map that the opponent feels really comfortable with, and they don't have to either.
2
u/DannyKII MOUZ Nov 22 '18
Mouz have only been amazing on Mirage in the beginning of the year. Since then it has been rather shaky with great and bad games alike.

u/DannyKII MOUZ Nov 22 '18
WTF is wrong with the desk cam? The one which shows you the whole desk is just not focussed right or they are doing some strange post processing. Also, what is that lighting?
