Cloud9 have completed a 16-13 win over EnVyUs (7-8, 9-5) on de_cache to move to the winner's match of group A at ESL ESEA Pro League Season 1 Finals.
To begin the match, Nathan "NBK-" Schmitt scored two USP-S headshots in a round where nV ran a perfect counter tactic to shut down Cloud9's A hit and giving them an early 3-0 lead..
After going down 0-6, Tyler "Skadoodle" Latham and Mike "shroud" Grzesiek got a couple of good entry kills and Sean "seang@res" Gares seemingly figured EnVy's style out.
EnVy could only muster one more weapon round later in the half as the Americans tied the game at 7-7, only to lose to a desperation buy of mostly pistols in the final round.
seang@res led his team to a surprising comeback win over EnVyUs
Down 7-8, Cloud9 made things harder for themselves by losing another pistol round, despite seang@res calling what EnVy would do ahead of the round even beginning.
Vincent "Happy" Schopenhauer got his team another first weapon round win to start the second half up 5-0, or 13-7 overall - meaning EnVy had 6-0 and 5-0 leads to start the halves.
Cloud9 then mounted a massive comeback led by Skadoodle and Jordan "n0thing" Gilbert's fragging, with seang@res reading EnVy perfectly to win nine straight rounds. ESL ESEA Pro League Season 1 FinalsBest of 1 Cloud9Matchpage 16 13 2nd July 2015 Envy 16Cache 13
