Virtus.pro win EMS One Katowice

16/3/2014 - 15:16

Virtus.pro have won EMS One Katowice 2014 after defeating NiP 2-0 (16-9 de_mirage, 16-10 de_inferno) in the grand final to win $100,000.

Home team Virtus.pro started off the grand final by quickly taking out NiP in the B bombsite of de_mirage to go up 3-0. Their fourth round B attack was stopped by NiP, but another try at B broke the Swedes' defense.

Down 1-4, NiP went for a risky AWP buy that did not pay dividends. After a full save round they were able to stop Filip "NEO" Kubski & co in A, but once again Virtus prevailed with a similar hit round after.

Now up 7-2, the Poles attacked B for a change and forced NiP to save. Adam "friberg" Friberg almost clinched a one-on-three clutch in the save round, but ultimately fell short against the last terrorist.

Richard "Xizt" Landström's aggressive push dug a deeper hole as NiP went down 2-10, but the Swedes finally found some answers to Virtus' attacks and were able to get four rounds before switching sides.

Xizt kept NiP's hopes alive for a brief moment on both maps

Unfortunately for them, Virtus.pro were able to win the second half pistol round as well. Robin "Fifflaren" Johansson called for a second round buy, and Landström bailed his team out in a one-on-two situation in B.

Two save rounds got NiP to 7-12, but Janusz "snax" Pogorzelski's two double kill M4A1-S rounds, first one cleverly waiting in B halls and second in B, got the Poles to fourteen rounds.

The Ninjas were able to snatch one more round away, as well as the following save round, but that was all she sang for the Swedes before Virtus.pro claimed a convincing 16-7 win on de_mirage.

On de_inferno Virtus.pro had another flying start, winning the counter-terrorist pistol round and besting NiP's early buys to give them a 5-0 lead. A triple by Friberg got NiP on the scoreboard in round six, and NiP won the next round in B.

Jarosław "pasha" Jarząbkowski and Paweł "byali" Bieliński combined for four kills to give Virtus a 6-2 lead, and another two kill round by Jarząbkowski, followed by a triple on a banana save round mow down put the Poles up 8-2.

The home crowd was definitely on Virtus.pro's side

A shaky NiP squad were able to win a three-on-two after plant in B to give them a third round, but then Pogorzelski and Kubski shut down B completely with smart use of an Incendiary grenade.

Down 3-9, NiP tried to attack A but Jarząbkowski played the hero once again, this time with a four kill AWP and CZ75 round in the A site, with a neat quick scope and some close range action.

Once again broke, NiP were forced to save, putting them down 3-11. Final round of the half gave them a glimmer of hope, as an A bombsite hit won them their fourth round of the half.

Four rounds wouldn't be enough on de_inferno either. Former captain Landström once again bailed NiP out with a one-on-one win in the A site on the pistol round against Kubski.

Virtus came very close to winning round two thanks to two great entry kills by Pogorzelski in A, but Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund, mostly invisible through the grand final, helped stop the attack in B.

pasha happy after Virtus.pro's victory

Another save got NiP within four, and they were able to masterfully retake the A bombsite in an odd five-on-five after plant situation in A with two defenders still lurking alive in the pit.

Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg then woke up as he put up four nice M4A1-S kills from A pit to cut his team's deficit to two, once again able to retake the A bombsite after Virtus.pro planted the bomb.

Lindberg's nemesis Kubski then won an incredibly important two-on-three after plant in B with three AK47 headshots despite being down to red health, giving Virtus a 12-9 lead and some breathing room.

After losing five straight rounds, Virtus.pro would never look back. A save gave them round thirteen, and doubles from Kubski and Pogorzelski got them to fourteen rounds.

NiP managed to put one more round on the board, but that wasn't enough as the local heroes marched to a 16-10 win on de_inferno to complete their cinderella story with a 2-0 series win.

2014-03-16 17:07

I said. But I said they'll win over Navi. :P

2014-03-16 16:36

I saw many people predict it. VP was actually a pretty logical darkhorse, being the effective home team at this event. Historically in pro CS, the best team at a major that's native to the event's location usually enjoys an advantage. Neo, Taz, and Pasha have been doing this a million years now, have won all kinds of silverware in the process and are as professional as it gets. It's foolish to ever dismiss their chances in a major tournament.

2014-03-16 19:33

i said it ;) 3 times :D

2014-03-17 12:16

2014-03-16 15:33

fiflaren strong :F

2014-03-16 15:38

He's vastly better maining a rifle, instead of the AWP. Except ironically, ever since NiP started having him do that and having F0rest main the AWP instead, NiP has started losing to top teams.

2014-03-16 19:34

Sorry for replying to you, but my stream was quite laggy on inferno and I didn't saw what pistol had xizt on that -3 round on arch, could somebody tell me that? thanks

Yes, they were down in the last year. Org problem and stuff. BUT NOW, they deserved this!

2014-03-16 16:18

Couldnt agree more, these guys have really thought their way to the top. Also great for the scene so many teams are competing for the top and not just TitaN and NiP. Was probably the most entertaining tourney to watch so far.

2014-03-16 17:48

Their communication was terrible and Fiff didn't call at all.

2014-03-17 10:52

So what? Look at GTR, he was voted for the world best player and had 28-42.. They all played really good throughout the tournament, especially Fifflaren, but in this match, they just got destroyed by the Poles. So no need to start pointing fingers.

+1 Fiff really played extremely well

2014-03-16 16:13

I don't think it had anything to do with the individuals, they failed as a team, they picked the opponent's map after watching a night of demos to prove a point, lost the map and that did it for them.

2014-03-16 16:53

So did I, if u understood my post that is. All I was trying to say is that it's not Fifflaren's fault or any player from NiP. VP just had a great tournament, played extraordinary, plus the home crowd advantage really gave them a confidence boost and they had the momentum.

2014-03-16 18:10

This.

2014-03-16 17:19

2014-03-16 15:51

2014-03-16 19:08

It was deserved by VP, but I agree with him, that it was abit boring. It would have been more exciting if the game was closer for the "casual" viewer.

2014-03-16 21:52

as a casual viewer i enjoyed it a lot

2014-03-17 17:29

The crowd had an effect + It was good, because NiP has dominated for so long. But if you knew nothing about the scene and what it meant for the CSGO scene in general, it was kinda boring. If the game was closer it could have been more exciting

2014-03-16 16:00

snax MVP imo

2014-03-17 01:33

Why? Cause he had +30 in the finals? Please.. Pasha deserves to be MVP cause his performance throughout the tournament was by far the best. :)

2014-03-17 07:07

BICEPS or GTR. I go for PASHA!

2014-03-17 13:23

Pasha for sure, with GTR having 28-42 in the finals I don't think he'll be MVP.

2014-03-17 13:36

+1.

2014-03-17 15:56

No, Snax played very well throughout the whole tournament. He can claim MVP as well, and personally, I'd choose him. He got so many important kills and got himself in so many clever positions, with so many great moves. And on top of that he can frag like a mad man. Best all-around player in the tournament in my opinion. Byali also has a shot at the MVP.

2014-03-17 15:09

hltv.org/?pageid=183&eventid=1333&gameid..

2014-03-17 15:57

This is HLTV's stats. Stats don't show everything. I explained why I choose Snax as MVP, I already knew he didn't have the best stats compared to Pasha.

2014-03-17 18:27

exactly my thoughts. Also you have to consider their lack of experience playing in front of a big crowd etc. ( neo pasha and these guys might be more used to it).

2014-03-17 22:37

that's right man! Yet I take factors like snax hasn't played alot on mainstages etc into consideration. And I think he did a good job there which was definately expected from pasha neo etc. but maybe less from snax and byali. That's why I'm going with snax here.

2014-03-17 22:35

BICEPS!!! WP GG Nip got REKD

Gz. Was an amazing event, CS is certainly one of the big esports games again.

yeah that it what I'm most happy about :D

wow, fiff managing to get 22 kills each map and nip still lost it

2014-03-16 15:37

If its a joke ita a bad one, in case youre really blind; 22 deaths both maps

2014-03-16 16:44

So shameful

Yea off with his head, NiP made the final when alot of great teams were playing great like Dig Lgb etc and other great teams like titan and (to a lesser extent) iBP didn't make it out of the group stage. They can't be happy with the result esp. fiff, who by all accounts had a solid tourney but every member of the team had a negative ratio on both maps. This was VP's time (finally) and you should give them credit instead of taking it from NiP and fiff. gnaw mean

2014-03-16 22:06

Neo masterminding the whole game ! GG VP

expected

Impressive Job By Virtus Pro They seemed Far over the other teams

sad:(

wp vp! great story. nip second again :s rip my dreamteam :(

only fools pick up nip players after VP performance against lgb, titans and hellfailers

fight me

bite me

You serious? NiP dominated during the entire EMS apart from the games vs VP. That argument works both ways.

Indeed, i had spunj as cheap player to pick 4 VPs too bad my dreamteam was already backed up too far because i missed a transfer window and still had a titan pkayer during yesterdays matches

Well played vp.....

AMAZING GAME, THANKS VIRTUS.PRO

fapfapfap

Holy shit VP totally outplayed NiP So much deserved for the polish guyyss!! NIP!!!! _O_

fully deserved. virtus.pro victory wasnt anything like fnatic. they won like it was AN EASY task. if they can carry on playing like this on cph games then they will be clearly top3.

that glimpse of 1.6 NEO on last few round gg wp

My thoughts exactly!Love to see the King back on his throne!

Virtus.pro just destroyed whole oposition during this tournament. Only real competition was HR and LGB.

Congratz guys. Highlight of this tournament are your win for sure along side with VoX-Eminors participation!

deserverd and expected GG VP!

nip just not their day... bad performance...:( congratz vp

GL NIP GL VP deserve

Snax was amazing throughout the tournament!!

NEW ERA INCOMING!

Gratz VP, well deserved!

2014-03-16 15:22

Why didn't NIP veto Mirage? So stupid..

I doesnt matter :D, they lost on their pick

why they should ?

Because LGB won against VP on Mirage, I think they had studied this match and were confident in their strength. But most of all, I think it was also to play a bit with VP's minds. It's like saying "yeah, we know you're strong on this, but we also know we're stronger than you, so what?". Unfortunately, they soon understood the "what". Amazing play by VP throughout the whole tournament. congratz.

2014-03-16 15:39

Great job !

Big respect for Polish fans ... Shout NiP when they were the biggest rivals .. respect !

Deserved. It was amazing watching NEo play like the old times. Snax, Byali, pasha and Taz, my godness, what a tournament!

goodgame vp

As always, poles are too much for swedes in the grand finals.

dobra robota

i said, i said also that they will beat NiP in the grand final ;>

omg many ppl. said one week befor that VP has big chance to win but not everyone creats topic about it... I said that this year will be US/VP year, 3 months ago, when everyone said that they are aint even top15 and will never reach anything

2014-03-16 20:23

Crazy. Well played VP!

fif 9 kills in 2 maps, everyone can have a bad day they said

Hahah really? 9 kills? fuck me he's bad. The time where he really needed to stepup his game, he dissapoints everyone. Well done fiffy:(

friberg, forest and GTR didnt perform aswell. Both GTR and forest with under 0.8 k/d. sure, just blame fiff

gtr and forest carried all the matches and tournaments they won before, fifi is a really good and funny guy but he is just bad in csgo....

2014-03-16 22:15

but fif has always low kills in finals, it looks like he cant stand the pressure of last match, because he did not so bad throughout tournament

the entire Nip team/players got rekd/spanked really hard, not only fifflaren

fifflaren strong 8/45

nice!!!!!!

congratzzzzz vp

Well play Virtus.Pro

Very strong performance by VP!

great final match, and for first time i feel some emotions :) i am glad that CSGO growin up! GREAT TOURNAMENT, and VP gratz! neo,pasha,snax,byali and taz new golden 5! pasza MVP(btw. all players played so great this tournament) NEO!

neo is the best! congratulations virtus.pro

What a crowd & game by VP! CS is back!!!!!!

So happy for those guys, seems like nobody could've beaten them this tournament! gg wp, awesome weekend <3

Deserved! Gratz VP

gg VP, but LGB must better then NiP now!

key of the match, all VP members use crosshairstyle 5, and NiP use style 4. ez skins

Total beasts

Congrats VP! Awesome game!

wp Virtus.pro

Hopefully the new golden five.

Exactly my thoughts.

Hopefully now they will be motivated as ever. Finally got a "stable" organisation and won their first major big prize pool event in csgo.

imo they already are, this win on home soil means so much you cannot imagine, to themselves, to the fans, and will stay forever in cs history. it is very important acomplishment and historic

2014-03-16 18:11

This was the simply rape!

Win at home, deserved. Just an amazing event, and coverage.

Virtus.pro the best Team in the World!

Neo destroyed NiP. The last rounds on inferno, holy shit. One of the craziest thing Ive seen.

And people said this would be a boring final

gg wp !!

congrats VP

Whenever these guys changed their orga, they won!! first ESC and now Virtus.pro

gg VP and wp

best team on the world?

They beat everyone, lose only 1 map. They are the best team in the world.

at the moment they are

2014-03-16 22:16

Byali MVP without a doubt!

POLAND STRONKKKKKKKKK! congrats :(

so much luck for VP,but anyway GG ..

best joke :D :D

VP>>>>>NiP lol I bet you didn't even watch the game!

luck? you could only accuse a team of lucking out maybe if they end up in a 1-1 map situation with multiple overtimes on the last map , then you could say the result can be random, but VP clearly dominated Nip

2014-03-16 15:40

luck? you've watched some other match then.

2014-03-16 15:43

stop drink vodka fool

2014-03-16 18:12

Congratulations !!! Deserved GG WP :)

VP VP VP

So happy for them <3

CONGRATULATIONS VIRTUS.PRO! Well deserved! This is what you get, when you never give up and keep working hard. They went through so much shit and had a very hard time, but they didn't gave up and now it finally paid off. This is also a big "f**ck you" to all the people who wrote hateful comments like "retire finally" and called them dinosaurs who are shit at CS:GO. I hope these people feel stupid now. Also I feel happy for the organization Virtus.pro. Felt sorry for them after the old team left them for AD, but now their new team just won the EMS One while their old team (-Fox +markeloff) only reached the quarter finals.

Those people were always wrong about golden five. They will never surrender and they will always achieve what they want sooner or later.

golden 3 + platinum 2 xD

Fuck me. Absolutely deserved, fantastic job VP.

:DDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Deserved! Love you guys! GG :)

i honestly never thought Neo and co. would win a big event in CSGO.. im happy they proved me wrong

2014-03-16 15:50

same

2014-03-16 18:53

like 99% ppl. couple weeks ago... when i said w8 to next BIG turnament and they will show that they are created to plays and win, they were laughing at me...

2014-03-16 20:28

2014-03-16 21:22

gg wp VP <3

But... skins...

Virtus looked like they where on a whole new level, like FAR better then i'v ever seen them GG

Totally deserved. For the first time i can say they are surely one of the top teams to look forward in future tournaments. GG <3 VP.

gz virtus

gg ..

I'm speechless, brilliant match. Proud of you guys, deserved in 100%! Congratulations :) Good luck next time NiP.

Gratz VP

GG VP <3

congratz Virtus!!!!!!!!!!!

GRATZ!

There is no bad player in VP compared to NiP. It's really time for some roster changes, fifflaren had one year of improvment with no reasults at all.

if nip takes schneider or flusha or jw they will be top1 again for a long time

no they won't , because it will take them atleast 2-3 months to get into shape with a new player, then another 2-3 months to get back into their current shape, wich isnt top1 anymore, switching players when you are a top3 team is NOT an option the only time you switch players is when you have shitty results, 2nd place at the biggest tournament of the year is not a shitty result. you would be a terrible manager.

2014-03-16 15:42

nope, it will take a much less time than you wrote. they can change their positions to let him play solo role on map so...

NiP is still rank 1, most successful CS GO team and 2 consecutive finals in both majors so far.

2014-03-16 15:49

Rank nr. 1? Titan.

Nope :)

2014-03-17 17:27

Awesome match GG WP VP you deserve it

Vp outaimed nip and titan. I predicted this 1 month ago.

NiP got 100k by playing two grand finals anyway :D Congratz to poles, well deserved

Fif playing so bad in two maps gg!

9/44 MVP :_

gj VP :) ! Neo is back ! ;)

:D gj Polska ;] "dziękujemy" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just AMAZING, what a rape, nip got OUTPLAYED

sad tournament for natus vincere gl in future an now GG VP :)unbeatable

is anobody see the swede flagz? :)

accident, a large accident

if youre not nip and you want to win a big event (such IEM, ESWC, WCG, DHW, EMS Katowice) just ask nip for being your challenger. you will win no matter what.

i wish it worked like that :/ sadly though it doesn't

2006 Pentagram over NiP @ WCG :D so true

2014-03-16 21:20

Well played, congrats!

my sincere congratulations guys ,you deserve it)))))

GG WP

WP VP but NiP had a terrible game. home crowd played a big part, we will see next tournament but was amazing to watch all of EMS

NiP had the crowd on DH Winter they were cheering for them after every frag but fnatic still beat them, they just choke on major tournament

the crowd was cheering for both. fnatic played way beyond there potential at DH and VP at EMS. But then again NiP performance from semi final to the final looks like completely to different teams so i agree they choke on the main stage.

the crowd cheered for nip watch the vod again

I think your on about the NiP Titan game, the fans was insane for NiP but in final, it was just cheering for the game not individual team. I dont need to watch the VoD i was lucky enough to of been sitting in the stands.

2014-03-16 15:45

agree Crowd was a big factor in that win. Anyway GG to both teams.

2014-03-16 17:52

byali and snax are diamonds in the rough

If there was any team that earned it, it was definitely VP!

Damn you NIP, my skins are gone )=

NiP onliners :D Just jokeing. NiP needed actions like Xizt did on inferno, they were to passive imo and VP was on fire plus the crowd :D

don't worry NIP fans, tweeday will make it look like you won again

:DDDDDDDDDD

well said lol

only playing for Virtus.pro one can win NiP

simply amazing

GOOOD JOB VP Gj Polskaaaaaaaaaaaaa NEO DeStroyeDd Nipppp

hahahaha, old 1.6 pics <3

today yes!

2014-03-16 18:15

It was just a fluke, like fnatic. They'll fall down next tournament, you'll see.

except the core of this team has been top3 since like ...2006 ...the "core" of fnatic hasnt even existed before 2012 .....so.....your assesment make no sense.

Neither does yours since the core of this team wasn´t close to a top 3 team before this event, and they still have to prove this wasn´t a fluke.

Seriously? I see myself as an inteligent person. But without a pride. Just above avarage. And I saw on streams every mistakes of G5... It was actually easy to spot what's wrong with their gameplay. And guess what? They've fixed all of these mistakes. It's fuc.ing fenomenal how they've manage to do it in those last months without any major tournament where they could get their hard work tested. They've taken everything what's best from every successful team and add even more. It was funny actually that they used two of my tactics which I had never seen before in any of matches. Kinda flatered me :D

2014-03-16 16:19

It is not fluke, Fnatic was bad before dhw2013, bad online and at lans, but before ems, Vp was crazy online with 9 maps winning streaks, and they were dominating practices, won Sltv lan too. Fnatic has 3 mad fraggers when Vp have 5 mad-fraggers. Man just watch Vp matches, they are playing best CsGo ever, perfect smokes, rushing together as a unit and outaiming everyone, this style wont be countered in a long time. Nip knows how good is Vp's Rushes thats why they sometimes played 4 players one site CT inferno, cz they know that when Vp rush a site, its impossible to stop them.

100 000K bo3 fluke ? nice fluke we got here, in this case it musthave been the nicest and most interesting fluke i have ever watched ever

2014-03-16 18:17

Same shit as fnatic did at DHW. Where they are now?

2014-03-16 18:34

spending their money on something nice? ex pgs is used to win majors almost every year for over 10 years, yes they have bad start in csgo but in last 6 motnhs only become better and better and already now they get a MAJOR win, im shure its not the last, but nobody can come to me and say its the last, thats for shure

2014-03-16 18:46

Quarter finals with a narrow loss against LGB, who were having the tournament of their lives. Fnatic's total performances in the two majors are ahead of everyone except NiP. I know you're a troll; this reply is for anyone else who might be momentarily convinced by you.

2014-03-27 11:01

very nice match! dat 3 kill round with 4 hp by neo was just awesome, but all in all a great performance from the whole polish team!!! GG

if virtus.pro is on fire they play another level of CS than anyone, even f0rest, gtr :) it all changed when neo became the IGL... such a smart guy!

how much money gets VP players from this 100k prize?

The VP organization doesn't take % from the won prizemoney and there are no taxes for such things in Poland as I know. So I think all 100k will be distributed between the players

organizations usually do take a percentage, it's courtesy , but since this tournament is on home-soil i guess the organization didn't have to spend anything, so the VP players do deserve the full prizemoney, especially after all shit they had to put up with since 2007

Yes, they usually do, but not Vritus pro. My friend works for them, he told me that.

But russian mafia does. Beware of that. :D:D:D

2014-03-16 16:22

thanks for clarifying

2014-03-16 18:55

All of them? 20k each

+1 total agree

tinypic.com/r/24lonbt/8 easy skins :D

BIG CONGRATZ TO VP ! 20.000 $$ per person :D

neo > all poland stronk

gg, expected and well deserved win by vp :)

Very good performance by Virtus, thank you <3

Gratz~

ty vp for 25$

Wadddup now SWEEEEEDES Wohoooooooooooooooooooo

gg wp VP! <3

VP completely outclassed NiP in this final. Everyone played superb, especially Snax.

fiff 9-44 ahaahaahah

9/44 very nice

When fnatic lost, I'm so sad for them, but now I'm so happy for VP!

why are you saddened of fnatic's lost? they are arrogant as you could see when they have won vs NiP in Bucharesti, i'm quite happy that they've lost.

Sorry, but can't agree with you.

the organizer of DH Bucharest, Silviu Stroie, said that the fnatic players used profane language against the admins and tournament staff, insulting everyone and acting like little kids, he said only carn acted like a good guy, wich was the only reason they didnt disqualify fnatic, if carn wasnt such a nice guy, fnatic wouldnt even exist anymore after shit like that.

No, not the fact I know.

0.28 rating in the grand final is an absolute joke

l0l thats huge man

2014-03-16 15:53

9-44 UHEAHUEAHUEAUHEEAEA

ez :D

HUEHUEUEUAHAUEHAUE

2014-03-16 19:16

GG WP ! LEGENDA POWRACA !

gj "new" g5!

If someone would've put a rock on fiff's keyboard it would've gotten a better score than his 9-44

yeah let's all blame fifflaren cus his team managed to be top2 since 2012 ......70% of the time being top1 ....let's all just do that instead of using our brains you start

People defending this guy are either trolls or retards, he had 9-44 in two maps, but they still got 7 and 9 rounds, of course they are gonna win tournaments when the other 4 guys can pretty much beat teams by themselves, theres was not one important nip game in csgo where fifflaren performed at least decent, except maybe vs col at this tournament, but those teams arent really close in level. Col gets a lot of rounds with the awps, nip cant do such thing because fifflaren awps like a guy with 20 hours / 2 weeks. So yea you can keep defending the guy all you want, but igl or not he is terrible and nip would do better with any other swedish pro in their team, espacially an awp.

2014-03-16 16:06

neo is back, is safe to say... :D WP VP, totally deserved, they played complete CS :D

all 100k prize go only to VP players?

DESERVED

fiffy get REKT :(

Fiflaren on fire haahahah

NiP need one change.

TOLD YOU THAT VIRTUS WILL DESTROY THIS EVENT HAHAHA you guys srsaly didint saw their results since last month ? that was fkn obvious that they will win this tournament after Groups, 100k$ ?? So virtus pro easy:D like on last IEM in cs 1.6 :D and other events :D this Polish guys are best of the bests in this counter strike bussiness

gg csgo community more of this please.. imgur.com/gallery/jHD1Jx9/

Hahahahaha snapshot by wazer.. hahahah

Beautiful, just beautiful. Perfect ending :) Congrats guys they deserved it.

Holy shit, Fifflaren .....

fiflaren 9 kills for 2 maps,god bless him

god save the fiffy

2014-03-16 18:24

congrats VP! Deserved!

Oh my god.. How can you possibly be the best team in the world and loose like that. I got 50 euros on NiP, that was maybe a bit optimistic, but I didn't expect a total wipeout like that. Fifflaren to kill 2 an entire map. Wow, such amaze

such amaze much fiffy very sucky wOw

OMG fifflaren with 9 frags.. :O

GG VP well deserved :)

Fifflaren had a really good tournament besides the final 9 kills in two maps man...

2012: "pfff neo, retire from cs:go" "taz you are grandpa, retire please" They never gave up, now, glory days. Well deserved, they needed it, wanted it and got it, vs the best opponent possible, NiP, best cs:go team. byali and snax did amazing job, pasha too stronk, neo is coming back the the neo 1.6?, taz did a good job but I must say he was the 5th on the team, anyways, they all together smashed all. Amazinng tactics and very improved aim. WP VP!

This. When everyone says oh TaZ and Neo you guys are too old to play this game, they never give up.

9-44 way to go Fifflaren

:'(

2014-03-16 15:44

home team always winning the tourney

just got byali, neo, pasha and snax right before the final in my dt

GG POLSKA STRONK fifflaren MWP = Most Worst Player

E A S Y. OUR HOME OUR TROPHY

cg VirtusPro. best CS I've seen so far. keep it !

that round if i remember corectly 12:9 not sure when neo did kills with 4 hp was so crucial !

fifflaren's stats are more amusing than Snax's. HahahAHHAhAhahaHAhahaHahAhahahAAHAHHAHAHAHahaha

Have to say VP deserved this one they really out did themselves. And +1 for Pasha being a beast those last few matches. And lets not forget Xizt for NiP who tried so hard to keep his team in that final, as it took a while for the other to join in ;) GG

Ot was allbin the executions of their tacs. It was sublime play. Afterplants were sixk as fuck aswell. Ofcourse their aim was on point also.

quit pls fliffaren

lurppis more to follow..

Teehee, same fluke as Clan Mystik winning ESWC.

VP TOP 1 WORLD NEO BACK GOLDEN 3 RETURN pasha>shox 1. VP 2. LGB 3. HR 5. NiP 10. Titan

1.NiP 2.Titan 3.VP VP is not top1 but top3 without a doubt

That's not what I meant to imply, this tournament was extremely unorthodox and because of that I don't think we can draw very many conclusions, other than that VP definitely has some potential. I'd say: 1.VP/LGB/Titan/NiP 2.VP/LGB/Titan/NiP 3.VP/LGB/Titan/NiP 4.VP/LGB/Titan/NiP 5.coL/fnatic 6.coL/fnatic I can't really say anything about Dignitas, other than their performance against NiP was terrible. And if they don't have the temperament to get past any psychological disadvantages, I don't see them going anywhere honestly.

You don't really understand how overall rankings work, do you?

2014-03-16 16:41

...

2014-03-16 16:47

Same as fnatic's fluke in DH

Ahem, iBP ESEA

Here we go again Tenshi. Could you stop it already? I see you'd never admit to a mistake. Instead of making a poor predictions (again...) just wait for next event bro.

Hi Polish pride :) I will happily return here after the next event, where VP will fail as they did for past 2 years and will in the future as well.

2014-03-16 16:38

you could say anything if it comforts you, but in the present moment AKA now, VP showed us some of the best cs we have ever seen in csgo, and they deserve all the honor

2014-03-16 18:27

Hi Japanese pride :) I will happily return here after the next event, where japaneses will show up anywhere, that is: never :)

2014-03-16 18:28

Hi bankrupt Greek guy, nobody was talking about JP competing, stop changing the subject. But to play along for a short while: Where was Greece last time competing? Hmm... Nowhere? Yeah, nowhere. Bye again.

2014-03-16 18:31

bitch please 9:44 is amazing, is Moyes playing in nip ? breaking records all over the place

Awesome to see the poles do it again. GG

Just two words - epic win. But I bet 19k on NiP, fuck!

moyes's tactic in nip pbs.twimg.com/media/BgNADgGCIAAM3Hz.jpg

get right must be very angry with fif :p

Amazing collective performance by VP, with greats moments of individual brillance by all their players. A well deserved tournament victory. On the other hand, a disappointing final show by NiP. F0rest did not play up to his standards and Fifflaren totally crumbled under pressure after such a great event. Not only he barely got any frags, but his calls were not on par with VP's. Especially on inferno's A bombsite where the Poles kept making the same attack, and NiP kept defending in the same backward positions each rounds, while struggling to contain them. Shoutouts to ESL for such a nice production, and LGB who gave us, in my opinion, the most entairtaining matches to spectate during the whole tournament.

yes lgb pretty strong

2014-03-16 15:59

fluke

They beat Titan, HellRaisers, LGB, NiP on their way to victory. How is that a fluke? When Fnatic won they didn't have many tough matches.

2014-03-16 16:10

its deserved victory, they won titan,HR,LGB,LDLC and NIP. are those bad teams and its not just 1 or 2 good teams

you are a fluke in this comment section

this tag is blessed

- fifflaren + me ...

easy skins :) thanks to my polaks, you earned it. :) img5.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/virtusb..

Pasza stronk

the ammount of fifflaren haters is too goddamn high i'd like to see you assholes be in the rank1 csgo team for 2 years and not make any mistakes , also being the ingame leader for 50% of that time

What a great show. gg for both team!

2014-03-16 15:54

kinda ironic how people are hating on fifflaren now the same they used to hate on neo in 2013 hypocrisy much?

You can't compare neo with fifflaren. Neo was a player who achived a lot in CS before he went to CS GO. Fifflaren played in CGS but didn't win anything before. Fifflaren never showed a great performance in a very important match. The matches they've lost are the matches where fiffy fails to perform.

f0rest got denied at major again by neo. That's so sad for him. Great play by VP, amazing GAME!

2014-03-16 15:56

Forest played very bad on ct inferno getting picked first most of the rounds so did the rest of nip

2014-03-16 18:58

cmon upload the vod i couldnt see the final!!

2014-03-16 15:57

1st of all, stop talking shit about Fiff, he led NiP to victory plenty of times. 2nd of all, GG from both teams, VP was just to strong this one. I enjoyed it, congrats VP.

Fifflaren is fucking idiot he cant call,he cant frag, HE MUST BE KICKED....

do better :D

Congrats VP! Amazing final and a fairtytale run to glory has arrived :)

2014-03-16 16:01

congrates NEO & CO.

wifflaren so good

a huge prize mony in PKR: 9940000.00 Pakistani Rupee

dunno if neo best, but for sure fifflaren worst

I hope NiP soon sees how much Fifflaren is dragging them down... 0.28 KD is so insanely bad, especially during the grand final...

Final was over half an hour ago and it's still "more to follow"?

Deserved. omg fucking close hltv.org/?pageid=230&eventid=1333&teamid..

Deserved win for VP, i expected more from NIP. Really glad to see the Poles back.

fifflaren...

2014-03-16 16:07

9 kills.. Seriously? thats the worst stat i have seen tbh :/

i.imgur.com/8cTTtou.jpg

snax was really really monster

well played

Rating 0.28...fifflaren just achieved a new level of SUCKNESS!

poor guy :( hope he improoves

Stop hating on fiffy he would probs beat all you anytime But iam glade VP one this Knock NIP down a pedestal

I am sure any top player from any country could do better.

2014-03-16 18:13

NiP = Vasco da Gama.

scr.hu/21ny/hhgtt

gtr score lol :d

f0rest only got more kills because of his eco frags, they both played terrible. So does not now why you are laughing at that :p VP was just too strong this time.

i am not laughing :D just its wierd because he is allways on top :P

2014-03-16 17:11

Ye, he and f0rest had pretty bad games :p

2014-03-16 17:29

we all know their skill, but they never got a chance, every time denied. some good cs by vp

indeed

POLAND STRONK SWEDEN WRONK

Ofcourse fiffy gets all the blame when key players like f0rest and gtr Plays terrible. VP played amazing and it was due for taz and the boys to win a big one.

2014-03-16 16:12

Hi. Is it possible to watch the game now? I was a bit late home so I couldnt watch it live.

gg wp deserved

new G5, cg VP

2014-03-16 16:14

Best team ever gg wp ;)

Really happy VP won, LGB did exceptionally well too, I'm pretty sure they would have made the final if they were matched against NiP instead of VP. Titan surely can't be ranked #1 in the world after this?

VP were just too good.

-35 GG :D

Congratulations VP. Time for NiP to really think about replacing fifflaren. I don't care if he's IGL and has the potential calling abilities of carn and ave combined, if you only get 9 frags in 51 rounds, you cannot be on a team that wants to be the best in the world.

2014-03-16 16:20

fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-a.. THANKS VIRTUS PRO :DD

no offence, but it is time to kick fiffy.

fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-a..

I´m obviously stoked that VP won, seen them play for ~10 years by now and I´ve hated every single second of their GO-careers until now! :) Never wrote them off though, had NiP > VP in the finals before the tournament started and I couldn´t be happier for 'em and they´ve showed us during these few days that they have stepped up their game for real and went in to the finals as favourites imo! NiP on the other hand.. Really (REALLY) stupid veto, GT didn´t perform as we have seen these last days when it really mattered and I hate the fact they couldn´t take it to atleast a third map and never got their usual play going. Fifflaren of course underperforming too to say the least but I can´t help feel that GT is the real difference from the earlier games in the tournament and today :/ Fifflaren finally showed the haters wrong, being NiP´s 2nd/3rd fragger and then he performs like this in the finals... Already seen -fifflaren threads and comments everywhere from brainless idiots, NiP did GREAT in this tournament but this had Virtus written all over it from the beginning! Virtus Pro´s future? +NEO is (somewhat) back! +Pasha, BYALI, snax WOW +They got a extra gear in TaZ +100 000.. They can live of this for 10 years ffs ;=) -Can they really keep this up when it´s not in Poland for the next BIG tournament. Really hope so! Other notes: +Xizt-IGL=Profit! +200 000 viewers xD TL;DR GOOD DAY FOR CS! =)

f0rest didn't either perform as he should. If he and/or GeT_RiGhT play bad it's kinda like over almost. Even though friberg use to step it up Xizt was the one that stepped up big time. And fifflaren have his times, he was really good this tournament untill the end. VP was just too strong this time, their tactics was awesome. They were the better team overall. That's all it is to say about it.

2014-03-16 16:49

Couldn´t agree more, can´t win a final when your two starplayers ends up with 0.7-0.8 ratings, no team could do that and it was VP that forced the win, not NiP that gave it away! Wasn´t the perfect ending for a great tournament though, would have wished for 3 maps but I really don´t think any team could have beaten them in a bo3 today!

2014-03-16 16:58

Indeed! Just hope this is not a "one hit wonder" from VP, probably it isn't :)

2014-03-17 14:54

Congrats VP and the guys. Was really great to see the final played in front of an awesome crowd cheering every kill. This weekend has delivered on all fronts, we had overtimes, we had shocks, we had drama, we had controversy (Thanks Thoorin), we had a great analysis desk, we had some amazing plays, and the viewer counts have been incredible. Let's hope the community & Valve can continue funding these events.

so fucking deserved.

a fiffmovie from the final, would like to see that

it would be 30 seconds long

2014-03-17 00:46

still no demo from mirage available

2014-03-16 16:56

Momentum and psychological warfare won this match. Skill wise VP is far from NiP

I agree

2014-03-16 17:02

cry a bit more :)

2014-03-16 17:16

whole team played very well. keep it doing guys, vp amazing!

EZY

virtus.pro played so well the whole tournament, best neo performance so far in cs go, pasha is onfire latetly, snax and byali just show that they can be monster. taz by the other way always playing well he is so stable. pd: fiffi with just 9 frags... that's the key pd2: taz, neo. again showing us why they are legends

2014-03-16 17:01

taz played averagely at best and was carried through the whole tournament. He's lucky his team-mates were all on such good form so he could win that trophy.

2014-03-16 18:43

Doesn't you see that's how it works? Even in 1.6 but especially in CS:GO. You can't have only madfraggers. When TaZ had his role as fragger he was awesome. Watch his last clips with kuben and loord on a board. But that was TaZ plan to gave the opportunity for byali and Snax to shine. And this is something big, especially when everybody think of him as a pride person. His positions on maps just say everything. I don't know how good you are, but it's something that you should already know. That Taz needs to step up when Pasha and byali and Snax and neo underpreforms, but that wasn't a case. We can't say that about fiffi and friberg. Only Xizt stepped up when Forest and Get_right weren't up to their form. And that's why I really like Xizt. He's one of the best for sure.

2014-03-17 15:03

"Don't" ;o great way to start a post ;o

2014-03-17 16:04

So, another 250.000$ tournament won by an up-and-going team... :/

cry a bit more, lemme make it italic for you

Sure, whatever you say buddy. <3

2014-03-16 19:12

kick fifflaren pls

2014-03-16 17:03

GJ VP!

2014-03-16 17:04

POLAND ! :D GJ VP

2014-03-16 17:08

This is actually were great :) nice win by Virtus.pro in their home town, neo getting back to his best level, Titan and all the other teams realise that they have to work harder and keep and eye out for everyteam csgo is getting bigger and bigger gratz with the win ! f0rest v neo times coming back i hope :) but now with shox get_right and more great players !

WP VP!!! gtr cried?

Before joining NIP, did fifflaren play source or 1.6, was he good? Just wondering why Heaton recruited him at the very beginning.

source, haha heaton didn't recruit anyone

2014-03-16 17:56

gratz!!! VIRTUS.PRO!

2014-03-16 17:12

four pistol,no one won,means NIP's lose.

2014-03-16 17:15

Congrats VP rooted for you!

2014-03-16 17:18

Pasza is a monster Neo...WOW Snax is siiiick-nerves of steel in 1 funny situation on mirage:) Byali and Taz performed well, incredible aim GG WP

2014-03-16 17:23

Taz didn't perfom well: hltv.org/?pageid=173&playerid=161&eventi.. He was crap and miles below his teams average.

2014-03-16 18:45

his role is support , so...

So, he didn't support very well. He got carried.

2014-03-16 18:54

He`s playing the role of Loord on every map. That means he gets the toughest positon to play, as CT for example: dust2 mid;train ladder;mirage shadow;inferno pit.

2014-03-16 20:33

yeah exactly. And what can supporter do when his team is dominating and he's not in 100% focus all the time because of that. Because he simply doesn't need to. So he did even bigger job as a motivator before the game and ingame.

2014-03-17 15:07

Right so it's ok for him to suck, but not Fifflaren?

2014-03-16 21:05

Are you a tard or what?

Fresh bloods looking so good, what a absolute monsters incoming

People might blame Fifflaren for the loss, but "Christopher 'GeT_RiGhT' Alesund 28-42 -14 42.9 0.73" is a huge factor also...

ye, maybe the pressure, ppl expect from him always over 30 frags per map

2014-03-16 17:36

its the pressure probably, and all cheer for VP so hard its not that easy to play when they kill you few rounds in a row

2014-03-16 17:44

This as well " Patrik 'f0rest' Lindberg 32-41 -9 50.0 0.78" f0rest only got four more kills because of his eco frags, they both was bad in this final. And NiP need these two guys to bring their A-game to win almost everytime.

2014-03-16 17:57

This

2014-03-17 01:20

wp sweden, france will come back stronger next time

2014-03-16 17:35

VP deserve and big play coming in from all of them was awesome

2014-03-16 17:41

expected. gratz guys! PS. really poor coverage from hltv.org i have to say. no iviews, no videos from the venue (winningin moments etc.)... it's a shame, especially since it was a such a huge event.

gratz POLAND, great event, great win

2014-03-16 17:51

called it ages ago. VP would be back, and here they are boysssss

VP beast <3 Gotta love their passion for this and their hard work to get where they are now. Hope they will perform well for quite some time! :)

AWESOME GAME! EPIC!

2014-03-16 17:54

Very nice performance for VP

but Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund, mostly invisible through the grand final, helped stop the attack in B. Hahahaha lurrppis Congrats VP! Neo4Life. Hahaha my sympathies to nip supporters who were saying "rape incoming from NiP". Lol guess u guys missed the team's name wrong. Thank you virtus pro for 60$ Skins! GG

2014-03-16 18:05

9 kills in 4 halfs, nice job fiffl.

2014-03-16 18:22

2014-03-16 18:48

there were no NIP... Fifi mvp ofc...

guys where i can find match record???

2014-03-16 19:06

hi guys :) does anybody will to buy cs:go for me? i know it sounds really weird, but it is on sale for some time and i really want to play it because of this guys. i have no bank account and i can't do it on my own.

2014-03-16 19:07

Well played Virtus Pro. I was cheering for you Polish brothers. You deserved it!

2014-03-16 19:10

Woooooo just came home to read this, well done Poles!

Snax is the man!

2014-03-16 19:13

Hater's wake up, NIP finnished in second in a major tournament and won 50k LOL So stop being ignorant for no reason.

fifflaren trows:(

Taz got money now, he can do hair transplant :D :D

well played VP skins, so much skins. thank you :D:D

2014-03-16 19:30

I was hoping for NiP, but VP are so worth it. They've played good for a long time now.

Nice to see they're back!

2014-03-16 19:48

Home ground has did it. :) Congrats.

2014-03-16 19:54

fiff is a beast !

2014-03-16 19:55

GG Virtus. truly deserved. I watched all the fucking games.. still no motherfucking drop :'(

2014-03-16 20:05

Well player Virtus.pro you are finally back.

2014-03-16 20:09

They seemed really strong prior to EMS. I just never expected them to be this good. Neo and taz showed great potential when they won their first csgo tournament with kennyS and apeX. They just needed the right setup, pasza was always great on csgo and snax and byali can't even describe how good these guys were. It's always great to see Neo winning again, one of all times greatest now assuming the role of an ingame leader.

2014-03-16 20:10

poor fifflaren 9 kills :(, hahahaha

2014-03-16 20:32

the two new guys in the pole lineup frag way harder than loord or kuben, great stuff

2014-03-16 20:35

I knew that they will win it coz Taz said it yesterday xD They can do what they wish for that what they show to us today and whole turnament. Some time ago no one believed that VP is going to reach something, then was information about 250$k turnament in Poland so VP set on their asses were keep practice, practice, win after win everyone sid "ehhh online, they will be fucked on lan", and what VP did?They split on every hater mouth!!

2014-03-16 20:38

I was well enjoying this tournament and even more the final as I was cheering for VP. To be honest I was tired of NiP supremacy, even they lost last final. Other teams gets in the game and it will make it very interesting at the next tournament. GJ VP. All five of you.

2014-03-16 20:40

Fifflaren played absolutely amazing all tournament. Then goes and drops 9 frags in 2 maps. Disastrous match for him. But never the less. Virtus played Sick. I have no idea how NiP watched all the demos of Virtus, and opted to play passively EVERY round on CT side. Virtus played in a way to absolutely destroy a passive setup. Very wp.

2014-03-16 20:48

I cannot believe they haven't voted out neither inferno, nor mirage.

2014-03-17 01:18

welcome back champions:)

2014-03-16 20:55

WOW 9/44 gotta be one of the worst performances on a bo3 ever

2014-03-16 20:59

fif owns . what a player come to boca juniors

2014-03-16 21:23

neo did the clutch against nip again after 8 years!!! on the same map and on the same site. damn!!!!!

2014-03-16 21:39

i just cant belive that they won this tournament, before IEM i said they are going to win, but i though they are not that good to win over nip and titans, but they made it. Im so happy right now, they deserved a win, imo picking snax and byali was the best posible choice, just keep it up guys!!!!!!

2014-03-16 21:43

So happy for Neo.

2014-03-16 21:53

Neo had a Dejavu clutch , he did this same action in 1.6 many many years ago , he must be like FKn noobs never learn

2014-03-16 21:54

youtube.com/watch?v=4jHrW0TACDw neo 1 hp clutch againts nip 1 vs 2 (Heaton and RobbaN)

2014-03-16 23:28

They beat titan They beat lgb They beat nip "WTF fiff how could you let this happen"-Loser mentality.

2014-03-16 22:09

Nice, deserved :D

2014-03-16 22:55

9 frag two games by fiff

2014-03-16 23:13

pasha is obviously a time traveller, he had already won the tournament once but had to travel back in time and do it all over again while working out so he could lift that big ass trophy Gz VP

2014-03-16 23:37

9-44 U FUKING KIDDING ME ?!?!?!?!

2014-03-17 00:02

sNax had pancakes for breakfast, beastmodeON

2014-03-17 00:21

man have to say byali was a bit of a monster, maybe overlooked a little from the VP games

2014-03-17 00:22

fifflaren fucking sucks and I wish people would stop defending him. nbk tried to defend fifflaren when the other commentator brought up his lack of frags. this is a game where frags = wins and if you can't frag what good are you? he isn't IGL, he isn't a great awper. he is bottom of the barrel for NiP. I don't see him ever pumping his team up on stage so he isn't a morale booster. if NiP dropped him and picked up somebody from LGB they would be a better team. and who cares if he "performed well" all through the tournament. it's easy to perform well when you have f0rest and get_right on your team.

2014-03-17 00:44

fifflaren has been igl again for a few months now...not sure why you said 'he isn't IGL' i am not saying that means this type of performance is OK

2014-03-17 20:20

i dunno i feel NiP could replace F. with olofm, flusha or JW and the team would be even better but then again.. 2nd is not bad among all these awesome teams. its just not possible to always win everything. i think on infernoCT GTR & friberg were way too defensive. they had absolutely no information if it was gonna be a b rush or the sick VPro A-rush with the smokes. VproCT (neo and snax) on the other hand consistentely acted agressive in banana, nip knew it was coming but couldnt do anything about it. this way the threat of VPro coming trough middle or having 4 A or at the very least having information was crucial. also the setup of nip with GTR and his smoke was the same every round. i think GTR shines best in strange confusing situations. like friberg flashing for him to suddenly peak, stuff like that. NiP will adept and i cant wait for next tournament. GG ex1.6ers ;)

2014-03-17 01:12

fucking sick performance guys, you deserved it, NEW GOLDEN FIVE

2014-03-17 01:14

VP win because its their home..Let's see in next tournament.

2014-03-17 07:20

Confirmed: Nip is paid to come in 2nd in all tournaments supported by Valve, allow the underdogs to win.

2014-03-17 07:44

big GG to Virtus.pro. well deserved!

2014-03-17 09:52

I think VP will be like the old ECS, MYM team in 1.6. Very lethal in the big tournaments because of their experience and attitude. But not so good in the smaller less important online and lan events.

2014-03-17 11:02

Which is fine... they just reconfirmed their status as one of TOP teams with great spirit.

2014-03-17 17:32

they've won alot of smaller events in 1.6,,,

2014-03-17 13:40

Highest HS % is from TaZ. That is explanation why he dont get many kills, he is seeking only heads.

2014-03-17 14:22

Scream's style. ;)

2014-03-17 14:45

nip didn't win because their key players just weren't there. xizt was the only player stepping up and it should be forest, gtr and friberg doing all the fragging. and i don't usually hate on fifflaren hes a decent player sitting in the shadow of 2 of the best cs players ever to grace the game, but 9 frags in 2 maps even if you're calling is just unacceptable. he was doing fine the previous games i guess the pressure just got to him in the final. hope to see a rematch at some point

the reason matches games tournaments are lost is because players don't perform or are out performed ....the later just happened with nip.

2014-03-19 06:28

yeah thats what i said. the nip fraggers were basically absent from the final.

2014-03-19 18:02

AWESOME.

hahahah wanna see those who kept trusting TITANS, and those who kept saying ex.VG will take it :D ... 1.6ers 4ever !

2014-03-17 16:22

Byali or snax(cant remember) is a cod player and only played for like 1 year

2014-03-17 18:28

as i know,snax also played a lot in 1.6

2014-03-18 07:25

2014-03-17 20:15

Home ground has did it. I can't wait to see Virtus.pro on new tournament, but ofcourse, out of Poland. I like fnatic and for me FNATIC is the best team in the world. :)
