AGAiN to grand final over GamePub

AGAiN proceed to the grand final of SLTV StarSeries VII Finals after beating GamePub 2-0 (21-18 de_inferno, 16-12 de_train).

GamePub defeated Astana Dragons 2-0 quite comfortably in the first match yesterday, which was followed up by AGAiN edging out Natus Vincere on three maps.

The two winners were up against each other for the place in the grand final. The match started off on de_inferno and it was the Poles who started off better, as they made a two-versus-three A bombsite retake successfuly for 2-0.

The same apartment strategy as in the pistol round worked out for GamePub that time, as they took two quick kills and the Poles were forced to save. With a clean B bombsite push the score was tied at 2-2.

That was before Paweł "byali" Bieliński started his streak of frags when GamePub tried attacking A three times in the next five rounds, as he was quickly at thirteen frags at 8-2.

byali was on point during de_inferno 

A few more attempts by the Balkan lineup ended in a disaster, as AGAiN won in two two-versus-two retakes, as well as a four-versus-two failure saved by Filip "Neo" Kubski thanks to a well placed molotov and a grenade.

Nestor "1NTEL" Tanić managed to clutch a one-versus-two situation over at the A bombsite and with a quick push to the same one, the teams switched sides at 11-4 in favor of the Polish team.

It seemed everything was over for GamePub when AGAiN won the pistol round, but the Serbian-Macedonian-Bosnian lineup kept racking up rounds thanks to multiple individual performances by Nemanja "k1Ng0r" Bošković and Luka "emi" Vuković to make it 14-12.

Then Wiktor "TaZ" Wojtas showed a perfect A attack, taking two flick headshots off of GamePub, who recovered with a round of their own afterwards. An anti-eco and a three-kill round by Nikola "NiKolinho" Kovač secured an overtime.

AGAiN move on to the grand final

Three quick kills by Anel "NENO" Ceković opened up the first side of the overtime, but two split strategies by AGAiN put the Polish side back to a lead. Two remaining rounds were exchanged for a 3-2 lead in favor of the Poles.

AGAiN managed to open up thanks to two good nades after switching to the Counter-Terrorists, and with Wojtas and Bieliński combining for four kills, their team had to win only one of the remaining three rounds, which they did at 21-18.

After losing the knife round on de_train, AGAiN decided to fake upper and eventually attack lower, which met with a good retake on GamePub's side for 2-0 in the beginning.

A bomb plant helps the Poles buy, but despite a first frag, GamePub managed to defend once again twice in a row. With only pistols, AGAiN managed to get into the A bombsite and won themselves an unlikely round, adding an anti-eco and a lower bombsite push to their score afterwards.

This time it was Ceković who managed to do more than expected in the eco, as he flanked for three kills with a stolen AK-47 in hands for 5-3.

NiKolinho kept GamePub in the game on de_train

Only an ivy push slowed AGAiN down as they took two rounds afterwards thanks to a flank by Wojtas to the connector, which Bieliński put to good use with three deagle headshots on upper.

Only one round of the remaining four went in the hands of the Poles, which made it 9-6 in favor of GamePub before switching to Terrorists. There, they struggled in the beginning during the pistol round and the antiecos, but then they managed to win an unlikely attack on upper with Kovač securing three kills of his own.

Two following rounds were not as successful and with a failed plant by Tanić, the score was sitting at 10-12. Jarosław "pasha" Jarząbkowski then got himself four frags while defending upper, putting his team in a comfortable position at 10-13.

Another flank by Ceković and an unexpected two-versus-three was all she wrote for GamePub, as AGAiN closed the game out with sweeps on upper at 12-16.
