Episode 135: PGL Astana - FURIA's gamble pays off, G2 stumbles, Return of the IGL for NiP & Astralis

They asked him about Ancient, and, you know, they picked it two times or played it two times. It didn't go very well. It was the best map for the whole lineup. And he said yes, but, you know, it kind of felt like the only thing they had was all in mid. And I tried to call, like, the first two games kind of with their stuff and their style, and it just felt off, and I didn't think it was good.

So I just sort of called on the fly the third time, and that was the Ancient that they won. I think it was the third map against VP for a playoff spot, right? Yep.

um and they were able to win it of course which is just such a bowler thing to also kind of be uh honest about like uh and put out there and yeah i mean it's the best they've looked in a while not didn't have the toughest of opposition but that's why they're really be tested in this quarterfinals they had what nine days with hoopsie of practice so this is a great result uh for them all things considering

No, but they can't beat Spirit, right? They already played them and it got close on Train and they have that going for them, but it's really hard seeing it going any different in an arena as well, right? I think if they had a different opponent, they might have still surprised.

But it feels just Spirit, especially with the bracket that they have, like, it feels like they're a lock for the finals and then who's going to beat them in a best of five, right? Like, you want to say Na'Vi is the biggest opponent on the other side, but Na'Vi has... traditionally struggled against Spirit, right? Like, so, yeah. But that was my last game.

Episode 135: PGL Astana - FURIA's gamble pays off, G2 stumbles, Return of the IGL for NiP & Astralis

Yeah, obviously for NIP, it was a big, you know, they had some tough opponents as well in this tournament. Like, they play VP, then Spirit and Aurora lost those two games and beat Hotu and G2 to qualify in the end. Had some definitely good moments, had some sloppy moments too, but I think that's to be expected.

They had a different kind of pressure on them, but they sort of had to perform because this is their one big land and one opportunity to get the points and get into the invite cycle for next season. And they've achieved that, and everything else from here is a bonus.
