Na´Vi over TyLoo for 3rd place

Na`Vi have defeated TyLoo in a close match for 3rd place at the IEM5 Global Challenge Shanghai.

Less than 30 minutes after losing their historic 2-day match against fnatic, Na´Vi were in action again in the match for 3rd place where they met TyLoo. First map was to be the one they had just lost on against fnatic, de_inferno. The Chinese team opened it up much better, winning the pistol round and overall playing very confident to achieve an 8-2 advantage as Terrorists. The favorites from Ukraine then responded by stringing a few round together, and managed to save their half with a 9-6 result at side-change.

At the start of the second half, TyLoo again won the first round against one of the best pistol pistol round teams this year, as well as the following anti-eco. But then the IEM4 champions stepped up and connected 8 rounds in a row to turn the score finally in their favor and take a 14-11 lead. However, the Chinese team didn't want to give up at that point and they brought the score to 14-13 making it a close finish. In the last round, Na´Vi's player Sergey "starix" Ischuk, who played great in the entire second half finishing with a score 23-8, showed his best by killing 4 opponents and bringing his team a 16-13 victory on the first map.

Second map was de_dust2, the one on which these two already met in group stage sharing the spoils after strong T-sides from both teams. This time TyLoo started on that favoured side and yet again picked up the pistol round. They remained in control throughout most of the half and ended up with a 10-5 lead. In second half, in a similar scenario to de_inferno events, TyLoo won the first 2 rounds, but then the Ukrainians took control and won out with 11 rounds in a row for a 16-12 victory on de_dust2 and an overall 2-0 score.

Broken tag

Natus Vincere have therefore finished in 3rd place at IEM5 Global Challenge Shanghai and secured themselves a cheque for $5,000, while TyLoo will receive $3,500 for their 4th place.

The only remaining match is the Final between fnatic and TyLoo.raw which is scheduled for 07:00CET.
