Na´Vi move to final after EG win
By: MIRAA
Time: 2010-03-05 12:04

Na´Vi are through to the Grand Final at the Extreme Masters World Finals with a 2:0 win over Evil Geniuses.

Na´Vi were first to score on de_inferno, picking up the first three rounds, before Evil Geniuses won their first. But when it was expected that the Americans would put some pressure on Na´Vi, the Ukrainian side got complete control of what was going on, cruising to an 11-4 scoreline at the break.

With EG showing some defensive problems, their chances of winning the map looked very slim, and they only got worse when Na'Vi won the pistol round. Though the American team won the next round, courtesy of Tomi "lurppis" Kovanen's deagle action, Na´Vi would immediately get back into the game to win the map 16-5.

The teams then moved onto de_train, with all eyes on Yegor "markeloff" Markelov and Danny "fRoD" Montaner, the two AWPers in town. A hectic start from Na´Vi saw them win the first five rounds, causing early problems to EG, who then won their first round. The Ukrainians set the score at 7-1, before EG finally managed to lift themselves up, but still Na´Vi went into the second half with an 8-7 lead.

Now playing as Terrorist, EG surprised Na´Vi in the pistol round, which gave the Americans the opportunity to get the lead for the first time in the match, setting the score at 10-8 in their favour. The two teams then exchanged a couple of rounds, but in the end Na´Vi nailed down a 16-13 victory to secure a place in the final.

Result
IEM4 World Champions..
Evil Geniuses
0
Natus Vincere
2

fnatic were beaten by EG in group stage, now Na'Vi crushed EG, so by thinking in your way - Na'Vi should win easy ;)
Hope so it's true!
2010-03-05 15:24:43

2010-03-05 12:09:08
Finals will be difficult as both SK and Fnatic are well organized teams and very settled teams in terms of playing style .. Both the teams are in good form as well ..

Waiting for a killing final .. Art Vs Brute Forece :D

gL Na 'Vi ... go go go
2010-03-05 12:09:08
Navi can, all is possible, but i think not this time. Maybe next event. they need experience.
2010-03-05 12:11:29
did you guys saw markeloff awping? show me those people who said that frod better
2010-03-05 12:09:18
haha yes, hell, yes!! =)
2010-03-05 12:20:54
fRoD is better.
2010-03-05 16:25:44
:( any clue?
2010-03-05 17:24:31
I showed you those people, that say frod is better :D Seriously, I am his great fan, almost from tbe beginning of my cs areer. I just love his style, and I think markeloff needs a bit more experience and a bit more success to be compared to fRoD. One match he was better, maybe, but you can't state that is is better than fRoD, judging by this one match.
2010-03-06 13:05:18
frod WAS better...

nowadays markeloff = king.

imba awp @ close range :D
2010-03-06 01:48:56

2010-03-05 12:11:35
deserved victory. markellove was better then frod today
2010-03-05 12:11:41
wow EG didn't play good at all

Yegor "markeloff" Markelov claimed he would teach Danny "fRoD" Montaner, Evil Geniuses' AWPer, some things in this match, but Basol believes the Ukrainian will walk out of the encounter disappointed.

"I'm glad he said that, because fRoD is really pumped up now, I think he is gonna see he is not quite on that level yet, because Danny's AWP is pretty incredible, we are gonna see in this match who the best AWPer is, so it's gonna be fun," he said.

that's pretty embarrassing now

markeloff and edward made a big difference, the former just not only talks but does crazy things too that's great..Let's hope team navi wins the final now as if they lose, it is going to be a major upset..
2010-03-05 12:20:57
Gooooood game! Na`Vi chempions...
2010-03-05 12:21:03
I haven't heard of Na´Vi before this tournament, I'm really surprised how good they are. Markeloff is crazy lol. Train was a fun match to watch, to bad Na´Vi got so many rounds early on though.

GG EG. =(
2010-03-05 12:24:55
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
2010-03-05 12:29:00
lol some of you see an American flag and that's your cue to act obnoxious.
2010-03-05 12:36:51
Are you by any chance new to hltv.org?

He is probably laughing because you had no idea about the Na`Vi guys up until now.

Edward, Zeus, markeloff are top players and pretty well known in the scene and it's community.

I know how good starix and ceh9 are because I always watch UA scene. :)
2010-03-05 12:49:24
I'm not new, I just don't post. I did just now because I'm tired of doing homework and it was between this match and the SK fnatic match. :)

It's hard to tell why he was laughing, I found it most likely because I'm an EG fan and they got wrecked. Maybe I'm wrong lol, but you can't blame me for that easy mistake. :P

And I didn't know UA had any top teams so I'm not in touch with the scene over there. Which is why I'm so surprised how well they're doing. For me, they came out of nowhere and they're dominating.
2010-03-05 13:00:31
Well now you know about these Ukrainians. :D

Don't worry EG's time will come soon enough. :)
2010-03-05 13:06:53
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
2010-03-05 13:29:51
actually I pretty like the Na´Vi team. But the whole Soviet bloc fans, are so annoying as hell... honestly.
2010-03-05 12:36:31
stfu they proofed they are better than mouz noobs! And they will win vs. any swe team in the final noob
2010-03-05 12:39:37
That's not very nice.

:DA SOOOQA

2010-03-05 13:20:04
In my honest opinion, EG just weren't on the level they needed to be today. I mean, when your strat-caller(lurppis) is consistently the only one pulling off big rounds, it's not gonna be going well.

I was very disappointed, not that I didn't want to see Na'Vi in the finals, they are great and they worked hard to get there. But, I was hoping for a great match and just was never as exciting as I had hoped. EG just didn't hit their shots to be honest, and that's not gonna make it for a semi-final.
2010-03-05 13:22:10
