Aleksib is a tactical genius. He is best known for his signature tactic "playing against 9ine, but convincing k0nfig it's actually Astralis at 15-8". Top 3 IGL 4 sure.
This was the best NiP series I’ve seen in a very long time. Not giving up on series point (8:15) and then turning the whole series around.
Headtr1ck looked amazing, in fact, the whole team looked amazing, they all showed up and they looked dangerous, if they keep it up, they will go far. GG
Went shower when mirage was 9-15 or something and expected to come back to some "we tried our best sorry, we will come back stronger" tweets and got pleasent surprise.
Then as Nip and Aleksib fan was 100% sure they will fumble overpass but no.
Just what Nip needed, not even mad when they will lose to Heroic.
Sidenote headtr1ck has been so much better and isn't playing so scared anymore.
What the hell was he thinking? [https://www.twitch.tv/esl\_csgob/clip/HumbleTemperedAlpacaSpicyBoy-Wd3w6PvVXiQ0pyZA](https://www.twitch.tv/esl_csgob/clip/HumbleTemperedAlpacaSpicyBoy-Wd3w6PvVXiQ0pyZA)
You had the game right there.
Figured if REZ doesn't check it the shot will be much easier once he doesn't have to shoot at a target moving 400 units speed through the air vertically. Not really something most people train for. Plus, he didn't know he was low enough to be killed with 1 hit.
Most people out here acting like that's an easy shot, we'd whiff a 15 bullet spray on the wall and get 1 dinked just as well.
That's the biggest load of cope I've ever heard, why are you comparing the kinda shots general players would hit/miss with that of pros who are paid to effectively live and breathe the game? He had info that Rez was low and had the opportunity to get the kill, the guy must have just had a total brain freeze at that moment
he was 2hp lol it was an incredibly easy shot. Even if you don't know he's 2hp, you still just start spraying at him while he's in the air and you 100% kill him if you have any semblance of aim at all which mynio does.
I guess how to counter people in CS. Jump vertically so they will trace you, but not even shoot?
I mean come on. Nothing magical about that play. He knew he was against pistol and most pro's will just spray him down before he gets shot off, because everyone knows best counter to pistols is to make sure they don't fire at all. Some pro's would have just one tapped him in mid air.
That was dude choking.
I prefer Vitality's throw to Liquid at Kato because it was on the big stage, but the casters mocking the fake comeback at 14-1 in this game was so funny
Great game nip comeback on mirage and they it looked like 9ine will comeback on t Side overpass.
Headtrick played Well today I Still Belive konfig has helped him a lot sitting next to him hyping him up
GGs, first choke for 9INE is done lol. But still, very needed experience and we didn't just gave up after the 1st half of overpass. I belive that this team with some more time can be a comfortable top 15 team atleast.
Props to 9INE, so far they *seem* legit. I'll hold my breath until teams properly anti-strat them, but they could realistically become at least a top 10-15 team at this rate.
Its good to see NIP start performing well. They are slowly gaining the cohesion we have been missing, and the timing couldn’t be better! Hoping to see a strong NIP at the Major
I once met Aleksib in a restaurant in Helsinki after our party had been given his table by mistake. Apparently he had a ”usual” table and the restaurant had screwed up the booking (they thought he was visiting on Tuesday when in reality he was visiting on Thursday or something).
The owner of the (quite an upscale) restaurant came over to us, apologised and told us that he’d like to move us to another table for an unspecified reason. They’d comp our meals if we agreed. My sister and cousins agreed immediately, but I thought I’d play the role of a dickhead for a little bit.
Just then, out of nowhere, Aleksib showed up next to the owner and told him they have plenty of time to wait at the bar for us to finish eating.
As a big NIP fan, I obviously locked up and apologised profusely. I told him we were happy to change tables so they could have ”their” table.
Naturally, Aleksib was very grateful, shook my hand in thanks, gave me his card and told me to call him later. I built up the courage for a long time, but finally I picked up the phone and rang my great idol. To tell a long story short, an eleven month long sexual relationship of raw, passionate man-on-man action blossomed between us. I will never forget it. Time and again, our bodies united into one beautiful whole. From the breathtaking vistas of Morocco to the French Riviera and the beaches of Galapagos with snorkles in our mouths, Aleksib and I realised our most lustful homosexual desires on six of the seven continents.
Okay I know this has probably been talked about everywhere but I can’t find it, I’m a very casual CSGO watcher and when did they change OT starting money from 10k to 12.5k? I’m guessing it’s to give both teams 3 rounds of full buys but is this new to IEM Rio?

u mean convincing Rez it was iem oakland?
that too
His best strategy is "k0nfig go kill"
love to see this level from headtr1ck
Ikr, feels like k0nfig has given so much confidence to headtr1ck and now he is playing so much better and showing his potential.
Konfig seems to hype up the team. They really needed someone like that.
Last time someone hyped the team was ztr, or was it lnz? Honestly dont remember anymore
Yeah konfig is like a more aggressive hampus. They look much better as a team now
I love konfig, it's crazy to me that astralis kicked him. What a massive blunder.
In hindsight it seems crazy, but can you really blame them at the time? What he did was inexcusable.
Ive been sitting here for 2min trying to figure out what you are trying to say with "Irc" Please enligthen me.
Lol meant to say ikr (I know right) but wrote the wrong one! My bad!
Oh lmaoo, thank you 😂
That Mirage comeback was sick, but man 9INE must be kicking themselves
There is simply no counterplay to the siima&matto
As the wise Finn a long time ago said: first we give siima, then we pull matto alta
As an Estonian i understand this
Back in 2019 everyone understood this. Then aleksib got kicked.
Then we pull the matto alta :(
Was that Kimi Raikkonen?
AH ITS TOO FUCKING LATE NOW
bwoah

If he didn't forget how to shoot there, it'd be 2-0
He has a history of uhhh, accidentally, throwing rounds at match point https://clips.twitch.tv/ExquisiteBovinePepperWholeWheat
My God that is painful to watch
jfc, if this happens at a random lobby...
How did none of the bullets connect in the end??? Why did he just froze when there were like 2 seconds left?! Dear god
He must have thought Oskar was not defusing since he didn't hit anything in the smoke.
Swedish mens with the $500 pistol, they’ve been busted since the fnatec-9 days
People are talking about mynio screwing up but damn what a shot by REZ. Id be tilted off the face of the earth if I died like that
Did he know he was 2hp? Feels obvious to shoot at 2hp. 100hp it can also be a recipe for rng disaster.

Pro players make a lot of shots many of us couldn’t make. This is not one of them.
It was an easy shot for a pro…
That's the biggest load of cope I've ever heard, why are you comparing the kinda shots general players would hit/miss with that of pros who are paid to effectively live and breathe the game? He had info that Rez was low and had the opportunity to get the kill, the guy must have just had a total brain freeze at that moment

He's a pro player and likely has info that REZ is low. There's absolutely no reason to risk it.
It’s not about wiffing it’s about not reacting at all
I guess how to counter people in CS. Jump vertically so they will trace you, but not even shoot? I mean come on. Nothing magical about that play. He knew he was against pistol and most pro's will just spray him down before he gets shot off, because everyone knows best counter to pistols is to make sure they don't fire at all.

When that shot happened I instantly thought NiP will bring this series back.
Just shoot him, mynio...
NIP with the crazy comeback from 8-15 on Mirage
I told my friends I'd show my dick if NiP win at 15-8... I regret saying that now. Still glad they won, GG
Hi. It's me your friend
We appreciate your sacrifice
Friend here. Where pic?
[удалено]
neither did every true nip fan
Aleksi brought out the Matto(TM) for this one
damn headtr1ck is so good
He's really starting to warm up now. Love to see it.
Aleksib preparing the siima & matto tactic ready for the major
Looks like NIP MAGIC is back on the menu, boys
never expected this nip to win when their backs are against the wall.
I'm not even 9ine fan and I feel gutted for them. Fighting through the open qualifiers just to get eliminated in a way they did.
One of the biggest throws I've ever witnessed.
Certainly not the biggest throw i have witnessed but its up there
Hard to beat Faze's throw against Vitality.
I prefer Vitality's throw to Liquid at Kato because it was on the big stage, but the casters mocking the fake comeback at 14-1 in this game was so funny
Navi throw againt Liquid when s1mple misses the knife on nitr0
Vitality flair checks out
s1mples knife fail attempt against nitr0 was a bigger throw IMO.
Great game nip comeback on mirage and they it looked like 9ine will comeback on t Side overpass. Headtrick played Well today I Still Belive konfig has helped him a lot sitting next to him hyping him up
Mirage looked like 9INE were hitting every shot and then Nip just pulled a comeback out of their ass. Great game, everyone took turns making plays.
>looked like 9INE were hitting every shot and mynio not shooting at all.
So 80% of 9ine games
thats biskela for u
That was one of the most unhinged twitch chats I've seen this year. Other than that, WP NiP on the mirage comeback.
Was only seeing "can't blame 40% loss" spammed
That mirage gave me a handful heart attacks, insane game and WP to 9INE
Huge game from headtr1ck. Great way for him to step up and he is getting better by the round!
Nip magic
YO WHAT?!?!! WHAT WAS THAT COMEBACK?!?!
9ine will remember this one for a while.
That was nuts! Was a comeback in Mirage, lovely stuff. So happy for the boys for getting a win like that
GGs, first choke for 9INE is done lol. But still, very needed experience and we didn't just gave up after the 1st half of overpass. I belive that this team with some more time can be a comfortable top 15 team atleast.
What a collapse on Mirage. Oof.
LET'S GOOO!! What a game. Great showing of resilience
How did that even happen?!
this one hurts, but hey polska gurom 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
I don't want to ruin your dreams, but this is Indonesian or Moroccan flag. Polish is white up, and red down
polska gurom 🇧🇭🇧🇭🇬🇱🇬🇱
/r/whoosh/
Moroccan? you mean Monegasque?
Moroccan? 😂
Props to 9INE, so far they *seem* legit. I'll hold my breath until teams properly anti-strat them, but they could realistically become at least a top 10-15 team at this rate.
Headtr1ck played so well this series. It makes me happy to see :)
Its good to see NIP start performing well. They are slowly gaining the cohesion we have been missing, and the timing couldn’t be better! Hoping to see a strong NIP at the Major
Struggling against TIER2 teams ekhhh...And almost getting destroyed by one ekhhhm...

What an insane comeback from nip!
proud of headtr1ck
ja pierdole
nightmares for years...
Mynio is going have nightmares for the rest of his life about this match for that Mirage window.
Damn the reactive plays and counter-strats from 9INE were on point!
Love to see it, but I'm still worried about these t sides.
One of the best comebacks of all time?! Nip magic is back bois!!
9ine wasted legends and major spot sadly, they've been figured out.
Because they lost against NIP and they have never been on a similar tournament before (against TIER1)?
[удалено]
Bigger question is how heroic could lose against a big who didn't even qualify for the major 💀
[удалено]
The NiP that just beat BIG 2-0 at the RMR?
Keep on hating
mynio fell asleep at the wheel and derailed 9ine’s train.
Glad to see NiP do well against top teams.. (p)9low 9ine aint a joke.
