It's up to b1t and s1mple now, oof, stavn. Peeks into s1mple and every time HEROIC just take these fights. And off the back of that NAVI round with scouts and deags with rifles, they falter. And they had everything they needed and more.

That B defense was great, the Utah was on point, they traded in their favor there, but electronic towards the back of the site gets pinned and speaking of pinned, jabbi right now, he might have been exactly where he wants him.

Alright, well, they found success with rounds like this, and there are some hefty nades in here, so the chip damage is going to be key. There's a missed flash in mid right there, just hit the corner of the wall, but no AWP to worry about, so definitely not the end of the world here. Electronic's waiting for a Q, and th...

No one home for early nade damage, and, well, as I say, that's down. Chipped on down. This is all going to come down to the gamble of NAVI's stack. Going to get no information off the back of that other than sector clear. But you don't really know what lines on the other side of that half wall.

And look at this little nest egg for Perfecto. Looks like he will leave it with electronic after all. So he's got a couple of smokes here to try and hold them at bay if they do want to hit this B bombsite. And as I mentioned, the gamble for NAVI is going to be important here.

s1mple gets away and will re-smoke, so all of those smokes have now been used. This will be an A hit, look at them coming out porch side. Flashes in from every angle, crossfire is established, first blood imperative! It's TeSeS and sjuush into the site, one back from Perfecto, but the site now theirs, as is the plant.

Just chilling out, listening to the radio here. So yeah, they're not actually going to give this one a look in. The armor can be saved.

I wish my friends could respawn. Okay, well... NAVI, it's either do or die. A little bit of a block coming in towards library right there from b1t and s1mple. Now, s1mple does have out the AWP. Will this be the difference maker here? I'm not so sure. NAVI, typically when cornered, when against the ropes.

We'll find another level. There's two coming. s1mple, easy connection. Jabbi meets resistance early. They're going to hit this site. They're going to surge forward on this. They're going to expect s1mple to rotate around. Instead, he's posted. Expecting a follow up.

An execute could come to either side and they will have the number disadvantage in that case unless they gamble. So then it comes to execution. sjuush might be the pointy end here off of the flash. b1t's been waiting for this. s1mple in support as well.

Another bucket of utility available here so they can continue to hold them at bay. But do they want to press them back or are they happy to defend from the side? We saw what happened last time.

Sendry pulled out. There is still a smoke that can be thrown on top of that. Electronic obliges. A gap on the left side, sjuush investigates, you can see that work with that. Electronic and Perfecto, will they get overwhelmed? The flash is so perfect, a team flash for Perfecto with two, and sjuush with a round close.

s1mple doing damage, a double with the bomb now loose. b1t alone, rotate through, b1t may have to do more. As cadiaN catches electronic, very laxadaisical around that banana push. 25 and counting. Uncertainty growing. Stavn with the clear. That's the bomb.

P250 on NiKo, he opened up with triple kill coming into that last map as well, he needs to do the same, nitr0 with Julis, no kit here, in what is known as a pretty unretakable map anyway.

I mean, EliGE looking the right way, but NiKo hits the right shot, and that's all that really matters. Two kills, and that is the pistol for G2. However you dice and slice it, it's a done deal. Yeah, a little rough there. It kind of had to be a big round for EliGE. Now, huNter-, Imposition to take it all away. Hello!

And savings not even guaranteed either. At least YEKINDAR was throwing every nade, but jks is here and with nothing to lose for G2. They will fight for the finish and they will finish strong. Four standing, a pistol in their pocket, Liquid leave with nothing but heads in hands.

And as is often the way, Inferno ends with two kills in the right or wrong place, depending on which team you're rooting for. This is G2's chance to get off to a really good start here on their map pick, and what they're hoping is the last map in this series. Yeah, I mean, it's ancient, right?

Gives those AKs back to his stars. And lets loose with the SMG. Yeah, great to see nitr0 looking like this. It's inspiring all throughout the Liquid ranks. And it's going to leave them in a great place to win out these force buy wars. That is unless HuNter and m0NESY have something to say about it.

And very quickly, it's gone out of hand here. HuNter leading the charge, m0NESY in behind him. Molly onto the Coffins. EliGE will still try and fight this. And that was the last bullet in the AK to find him. This was a 2v5 when it began, and now it's hanging in the balance.

Not today, it's a mop-up. You hate to see that for Liquid. They can't even get a grip. They can't even get their guns out, and NAF might die right at the end. m0NESY moves through, and oh, squeaky clean. But not for long.

You know, you were riding the high of having YEKINDAR and nitr0 with a hero performance in the force. You thought that you were going to be off to a great start here, and it's anything but.

HooXi is lining up something, a little B exec to get the juices flowing. To start this T side with a statement set piece. G2 ease into it and it might be pretty contact after all. A flash over the roof and G2 waiting for the time to strike.

NiKo up at the front, the flash is beautiful and huNter- is traded places with YEKINDAR. It was a feeling that Liquid had to put up some sort of defense here and now. And with it slipping by, the save calls already come in. This is a very dominant face showing from G2.

They're re-execting on Pit right now to try and get these guns out of Liquid's hands and they can afford to lose them. HooXi chases, gets a one for one and that's set up his team for the trade. Easy exit for G2. No survivors. And a 5-1 lead.

Oh, and even a B stack, but G2 are using util this time. They are trying to clear every corner, every cubby, every rat hole that Liquid can hide inside. EliGE ready to swing. YeKINDAR goes first with a flash. It will be traded. A gun retrievable, and HooXi has to allow it.

Alright, kid. It just seems written in the scriptures, set in stone. 4G2, m0NESY. That shot is just straight BS right into the veins of Team Liquid. Nitr0. Good luck. Moving in up the short side, but this crossfire is gnarly. Retrieves the orb, but goes no further.

Banana taken in this round, a tremendous amount of respect given. Again, this real estate comes freely to G2, and they're going to look to use it against Liquid.

Yeah, one of the things that's been beautiful is just kind of the trust that feels like it's developed within this team.

Both hit a shot, both survive. But Liquid are absolutely fine. They've got EliGE floating, and if B gets taken, he can throw Flash over the top to set up YEKINDAR. Right now, he's looking away, trying to avoid exactly that. oSee about to be smoked. Can he hit a timing shot as his vision gets gone?

I mean, we definitely could have just fallen back and kept that advantage, but it's at least put Liquid in a 3 on 3. It could have been worse. oSee has to be relied upon at this B site.

He gets out alive, so on numbers alone, Liquid can still attempt this one. Both HooXi and huNter are tagged up. HooXi on the close angle, HuNter- they get a peek at response, but he's not needed yet. Whittle's EliGE down low, and you realize just how insurmountable this clutch is.

They're trying to be decisive in these openings. They're trying to be proactive, but G2 have blocked them in a lot of these rounds. Oh dear.

And they immediately pull back as well, YEKINDAR recedes from that B site, not wanting to give away a kill. Liquid feel the need to make a gamble in this round, and you can barely blame them, but NiKo, what does he hear? Ooh, EliGE catching one, jks alone, sneaking through the smoke up and over the top. And this is a r...

They see the molly, they might spam him. Oh, they're looking right at each other, but just concealed by the smoke. That swing comes in, the bomb tumbles away. And so here we go, NiKo in the clutch. Up in the top mid. This would be the straw that breaks the camel's back if he cooks something up here.

It's gonna ruin Team Liquid. And with the swing, two players holding this inside of the site. NiKo is ready, but nitr0 swings from above and puts a stop to it.

No idea how he even gets out with a kill in that situation. Liquid manage three, but barely managing to stay afloat in this map. And again, as it was yesterday, in the closer, nitr0 leading the way for Liquid.

Career highs at the end of last year in the numbers alone. Nitr0 needs to lead by example. YeKindar and NiKo locked in a bit of a fight here and YeKindar will get the drop on him.

Now, usually this has been the prerequisite to Liquid looking pretty as YeKindar winning that fight at Banana. Oh, EliGE is so blind, but it goes both ways. Chaos. ensues over at Long, and HooXi lives to tell the tale, now moving in, set up with a flashbang, clotheslines oSee, and NAF is burning alive.

YEKINDAR rotates in, but is felled immediately, and NAF is living on borrowed time. This is a done deal, nitr0 is just too far removed to play into this one. Yeah, HooXi just sends him to Odin's Hall. Head after head, decapitated.

Ten rounds on a T side, G2 finals ready. And this one hurts even more for Liquid on the other side because they got that opener.

And that's something that can't be said about previous in-game leaders in G2. That's the difference maker. And I don't think G2 have had as much faith in themselves as they do right now, let alone the public perception.

Flash up top mid, it's nitr0. The one AK on the boost, looking to catch HooX, but he only had his one chance and it's gone. Yeah, Resmoke rains in. Nitr0 still with this angle. The captains clash and nitr0 comes out ahead, moving back in even more.

Sword and shield at the ready for nitr0, trying to be that man to kickstart a round from nowhere and it's risen through the ranks. YEKINDAR and NAF, they make moves and NiKo is left on the other side of the map all alone here, doesn't have that bomb. He's given a lot of these rounds a go.

But this is one that he might just have to write off. Liquid looking to break in right. At closing time, right at the buzzer, the final few rounds. It's all they could have managed, and they're hungry for them. I love that he's even looking for it. It just shows the mindset G2 are at. He can't even afford this play, bu...

HooXi got team knife to open up this round. I take it all back. So really testing the bond in this team. huNter-, alright lad, full blind but still going to open things up. EliGE on the receiving end of that, they're already out into the mid, oSee. tries to contain it. NAF out on an island is punished eventually.

And this one gets to a weird place. oSee offering up all the resistance he can, but when that smoke rains over the top, he's got to show it respect. G2 don't know it yet, but they've actually got full control of this site. Ooh.

They've got control and jks is going to take it, clearing every corner, but soon it will dawn upon him. This plant is his. NiKo set up at the post, down in pit. It's not the best bomb plant spot for NiKo if he's the one left alive. But G2, when there's a will, there's a way. Yeah, NiKo, Deagle down in pit, needs to off...

G2 can feel that grand final appearance waiting in the wings. Yeah, and Liquid will have to dig deeper than ever before. It's not even the 12-0. This one feels harder, this feels more irredeemable. m0NESY with the dualies, tip-tap, and he's going to knock him out immediately. Two kills for the price of two. YEKINDAR re...

They've got nothing to lose. HooXi's tucked in. Lies in wait is that nasty surprise, but the flash from his teammates won't blind Team Liquid. They found a way in at this point. What? Oh no, no one's covering NAF. No one was looking out for him, and so he's fed to the wolves.

Now you've lost all advantage and huNter- pounces, leaps in. It's left to oSee, all alone, whittled down, low on health with no chance surely. This is daylight robbery from G2.

oSee with the swing and huNter- on the angle, beckons him in for one hell of an opener to this second half.
