Na´Vi, AD, LD progress in Bucharest

Natus Vincere, Astana Dragons and Lemondogs are through to the semi-finals of DreamHack Bucharest, leaving Copenhagen Wolves, n!faculty and fnatic behind.

Coming into this event with a new lineup, Na´Vi flew to Bucharest with hope, rather than expectation, and after failing to impress earlier in the day (10-16 defeat to Astana Dragons), they turned in a great display against a very tough opponent.

The first map of the tie was de_mirage_ce, where the first half was a very close affair, with Na´Vi securing a narrow 8-7 lead at half time. After the break, however, the Ukrainians came out very strongly and conceded just one round as they picked up a 16-8 victory.

Next up was de_dust2_se, where Na´Vi got off to a flying start, picking up 11 rounds as Terrorists. Copenhagen Wolves still trying to respond in the second half, but Na´Vi kept their cool and showed just how important experience is and won the match in the final round, when overtime seemed within touching distance.

In the other match involving a Ukrainian side, Astana Dragons moved past n!faculty on just two maps: Yegor "markeloff" Markelov’s looked very strong on de_mirage_ce, picking up a 16-7 victory after cruising to a comfortable 12-3 lead at the break.

The second map was de_nuke_se, where Astana were handed a scare in the first half, which they lost 6-9, but then the Ukrainian side turned the score around and ran out 16-10 victors to progress in the tournament.

The last quarter-final contest was an all-Swedish showdown between fnatic, who had defeated Ninjas in Pyjamas earlier, and Lemondogs, who far exceeded expectations in this nail-bitting contest.

As expected, the game went down to the wire, with a lot of close rounds being exchanged between the two sides, but in the end Lemondogs came out victorious with 16-12 and 19-17 victories on de_mirage_ce and de_dust2_se, respectively.
