Na’Vi’s humiliating early departure came at the hands of a new Heroic with the same impressive upset potential as the previous CS:GO<\/a> roster.<\/p>\n

An opening game loss to a new Serbian-infused G2 Esports put the CIS titans into the lower bracket, one best-of-three loss away from elimination.<\/p>\n

Despite a 0% winrate on the map, Na’Vi picked Train against the Danes Heroic who had suffered defeat at the hands of AVANGAR.<\/p>\n

Four out of five Na’Vi players finished the first map on a 1.18 rating or above, including a 1.33 for Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev. However, <\/span>multiple rounds lost to time running out helped to gift a ten round streak to Heroic’s CT side in the first half. Clawing it back and taking the lead, Na’Vi’s recovery was stifled as Heroic simply edged them out in the closing rounds to a 16-14 finish.<\/p>\n

Nuke as the second map was Heroic’s choice and a solid CT start, with neither full buys nor Deagles working out for Na’Vi in the opening rounds.<\/p>\n
