Map 1: Anubis
The day has arrived. Can DRILLAS avoid elimination from FlyQuest? FlyQuest needs to step up and defend this spot from DRILLAS. Everyone striving to have the asian scene ‘protected, but can they’ -caster. ‘To defeat the beast that entered their domain’ -caster. lul. Experience vs Hype. Anubis dust2 ancient. T side. Nice start. 1-0. FlyQuest pistols almost ruined their opponents with rifles. 2-0. AliStair gave DRILLAS some last seconds scare but DRILLAS got their lucky escape. Shouldn’t have been that close. 3-0. Dexter blinds them. 3-1. 3-2. 3-3. Triple AK kill from Kvem. 4-3. 3 players jump through the smoke but can’t stop Vexite. Shows how dangerous a smoke can be. 4-4. 3v2 but missed the plant somehow thanks to aliStair’s mayhem. Eco but managed to kill 2x and retrieved a rifle. Can they win the eco? Woro clutches to win the round! ‘Don’t get pistoled, never underestimate pistols’ -Dona. 6-5. DRILLAS have done well so far. Can they go all the way to lock in the first map? 7-5 for the DRILLAS! There’s a good chance now. But as vouched by many, Anubis is T sided. So FlyQuest might have the upper hand advantage here for the second half. 7-6. 7-7. ‘They should be more disciplined on saves when in disadvantageous situations’ -caster. Close game but no cigar for the DRILLAS? HAdji round savior again? Liazz 1v3 and escapes with his life. HAdji’s heroics wasn’t enough. It’s 7-9. That could have been the turning point. Anlaki. 7-10. ‘ohne you need to timeout them and say something’ -dona. lul. 8-12. Last few chances for DRILLAS to make it up. 9-12. Inching closer. ‘Pls pls pls pls pls’ -dona. 9-13. NT. Disappointment felt. ‘Ohne’s shorts didn’t help’ -dona. lul. FlyQuest raising their standards at this critical juncture. Too bad for DRILLAS. Their hopes left clinging onto the next map.
Map 2: Dust2
Time for Dust2. It’s time to rise up from the ashes and be GODRILLAS. Pistol round for the bulldozing run by the DRILLAS, hopefully! INS finds an EXIT AWP ACE as they try to take his AWP out on the hunt but fail in their quest. lul. 4-0. T side. Not losing to pistols, are they? Liazz fiveseven spam catches 2x and DRILLAS lost. On an eco round to add insult to injury. 4-1. 5-1. Another eco round for FlyQuest. They surely can whip up some mayhem with pistols thats for sure. 6-1 on T side is a great scoreline so far. 6-2. 7-2. 9-2. Finishing line within sight. And then the 3rd map fighting chance. It’s 10-2. Yesterday flashbacks. Will it bring luck or the downfall? 12-2. It’s 13-2 and it’s the decider map that decides their fate. ‘Unbelievable 2x’ – caster.
Map 3: Ancient
Down to the wire. No more second chances from now. It’s all or never, all or nothing. 1 more map determines whether they get to live for at least another few more hours. We’re ready! All the cats in hat. CT side to kick it off. hAdji double berettas for the 1-0. One step closer. Can they feel it? 2-0. Step 2 done. Kvem down. But the Ts are being careful and apprehensive. Clean sweep by FlyQuest, minus INS. 2-1. Whose nerves will break first? C’mon. DRILLAS already have the CT advantage and they must use this full opportunity to pull ahead. Oh no. Everyone’s gone on CT again. 2-2. It’s getting into dangerous territory. Hearts in the mouth for all DRILLAS fans. Even at this early stage. 2-3. This round is super important to avoid FlyQuest flying away uncatchable. The face on Dona says it all. 2-4. Perfect sweep to leave DRILLAS economy in shambles. Dona going bonkers. ‘Uh oh’ -Dona. ‘It’s starting to slip 2x’ -caster. ‘We are broke 2x’, ‘We need ohne’s timeout’ -Dona. SENER1’s 2x fiveseven headshot. Can this be the turning point? 4-2 opportunity not taken. Anlucko! Meztal loses the AWP that was picked up too. It’s now 2-7. A hill has turned into a mountain. It’s gonna take a miracle now. HYPE while it lasted. Dona looking dejected. True pro matches experience shows. From strats to calls, the difference between DRILLAS and FlyQuest seems slightly noticeable. You just have that gut feeling FlyQuest has a little more of what it takes, a little ore in the tank. 3-7. ‘Too little too late?’ -caster. Individual skill is one thing but high level LAN experience is another. Headshot noscope through the wall to Kvem, the final nail of the round. FlyQuest powering up in droves. 3-8. 4-8. Meztal succeeds in the 1v1 for the glimmerest of hope. Can they be aimgods on T? Tension verberates all around. Dona can’t even look anymore. 5-8. ‘Gud job 2x’ -Dona. Kvem farming galil eco with 4 kills, ace stolen by SENER1. 6-8. The biggest round of their entire rmr tournament, rests on this, that will decide the wind direction. NAILS. NAIS. Dona feeling chest tight and tries to command her troops from afar. Ohne’s cooking. Running out of rounds. NAIS! 8-8. Closeness is a verb now. Nobody wants to be the first victim of the round. Down to the 2v1. Unlucky to the max. ‘Dexter shattered the dream’ -Dona. 10-8. The paper castle built by ohnepixel is crumbling of all moments. DRILLAS and ohne sticker, Major dream is literally melting into liquid now. 8-11. Dona’s for sure getting a fever after this match. ‘Regroup and reset’ -Dona. Why are you all giving aliStair 2 kills with 4v2? Woro2k the hero. Another step closer. 9-11. Chance still not completely extinguished. Kvem got 2 good entries! ‘No jinx’ -Dona. BIGGGGGGGGGGG round. This and next. ‘Huge round by Kvem’ -Dona. Not losing against partial pistol eco right? WORO CINEMA. THE ROOF BLEW OFF. Woro with 10hp vs Liazz with an AWP. 11-11. ‘Fkin cinema’ -Dona. The casters are speechless. TIMEOUT OF ALL TIMEOUTS. The precipice of who gonna MAJOR. But WHO? KVEM THE SUPERMAN! WITH 2 SUPERB AK KILLS! MAP POINT! It’s 12-11!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE MOTHER OF ALL ROUNDS FOR THE DRILLAS, GODRILLAS! Whatever! JOY OR CRUSHING OT AND DEFEAT?!?!?! DAYUMMM 12-12. OT AFFIRMED. ‘ICE in the veins’ from FlyQuest -caster. Kvem opens the round but they lost. 12-14. A rollercoaster ride of emotions. You can literally hear a fly in the room. Timeout. Ohne’s moment. This is IT. ‘the onhe effect’ -Dona. Dona’s blowing. 13-14. Ohne’s effect WORKED! Kvem deserves to be in the shoo in for MOTM for DRILLAS. Kvem with a double AWP with Woro. A BIG RISK. Are they doing the ‘do or die’ strat? SENER1 dies first again through the smoke. HUGEEEE. FKIN COOKED. 14-14. Masterclass AWP decision by ohne and team. Woro hero that round. 4v2 passed the test. 15-14. ON THE BRINK! ‘1 MORE ROUND’ -caster. MUGA. What a match from both sides. Giving it their all. ‘So unreal’ -caster. ‘Hell of a series’ -caster. NOT DONE! YET ANOTHER OT! ‘Lost for words’, ‘Unreal’ -caster. ‘WOW’ -Dona(shocked,surprised). 3rd time the charm ? Dexter down but meztal and Kvem gave their lives and their advantage after. Can hAdji rise again to save the team? 2v2. HAdji escapes with his life from INS’s AWP shot. Pixel to pixel fight. ‘Oh my goodness’ -caster. Dona needs a defibrillator. HAdji the hero. Dona’s smile as wide as the world. HAdji deserves some sort of MVP, not only for this round but for the entire qualifying tournament. 1 ROUND TO SHANGHAI! The ‘on the cusp of victory’ is here. Rising in the most important moments. 18-15. ‘1 round’; -Dona. ‘Only 1 round’ -Dona. 2 more chances. SCARY. ‘Play like you’re on 16 rounds’ -Dona’s masterclass. But will they listen? 3 kills. 2v2. FlyQuest lives on for another round. LAST CHANCE. FlyQuest fighting for their lives and they duly delivered. DONE or OT 3? 2v3. NO WAY. -This is unbelievable’ -caster. AND IT IS. NO MORE SCRIPTS. BOTH TEAMS DESERVING FOR A SLOT. HEART AND SOUL ON THE PLATE. 18-18. 3x map point for DRILLAS BUT. Alistair flying AWP found a victim. 18-19. THIS COULD BE THE BIGGEST CS TOURNAMENT DISAPPOINTMENT EVER! FROM QUALIFYING TO DIS-QUALIFYING in 3 rounds. How did that actually happened? What could’ve and should’ve, if meztal had raised his game. IMAGINE. The DREAM. DRILLAS standing on a flipboard that’s as flimsy as their chances. ‘F###!’ -Dona. The Muhammad Ali knockout PUNCH. 18-21. ‘It’s not over till its over’ -Dona. Dona’s not gonna give up after all she and the team went through. Not right now. NT Dona. FlyQuest dug themselves out of the biggest hole ever. 3x. Dona feeling like every feeling rolled into 1. 19-21. DRILLAS buy more time but only so. 2 more. A flawless DRILLAS required. ‘Dexter has so many sneaky kills’ -Dona. Not like this. ‘NOOOOOoooooo’ -Dona. ‘Absolutely incredible’ -caster. GG. ‘Holy s###’, ‘That is sad’, ‘We had it in the palm of our hands’ -Dona. The wind has truly blown out of their sails. But well done to DRILLAS for fighting tooth and nail, putting up a commendable strong fight and pushing FlyQuest to their own limits. Lack of top tier experience became the deciding factor in the end. Truly the saddest way to go out, even with all guns blazing. FlyQuest closes it out when it matters. Nevertheless, Cinema from the very first second to last. GGWP from both teams! 22-19 to FlyQuest. Now they’re just 1 step away from qualifying for that coveted spot at the Major!
