What a crazy emotional rollercoaster , when you think it's over it goes back to ot back and forth. Insane clutches from both teams. This gents was truly a heart attack simulator.
wonderful should get an award from vitality, he's a spy in NAVI's shirt! maybe he had a large bet against NAVI??? Bring simple back or a decent awper a least, his guy is failing his comms, his shots and everything. Spirit kicked him for being an impactless baiter, WHAT A SURPRISE!
Nuke took years off my life. Dust 2 took years off my life. Mirage took years off my life. Inferno took years off my life. I legit have 3 weeks left to live after watching this Grand Final. I blame OhneJinxel.
Everytime NAVI loses its Aleksib:s fault but everytime NAVI wins its tier 3 bots getting carried by Blade its unbelieavable we get to see this toxic shit even when we are being delivered an absolute banger of a match. Both teams played their hearts out and even tho there was a lot of small mistakes and chokes its to be expected in Cologne grand finals especially when almost every map goes to OT. GGWP Vitality you were better this time and nice try Navi this would have sealed them as the best team in 2024 but we still have many chances!
I think navi could've closed out mirage. Wonderful was activated very late and whiffed crucial shots, he was under pressure and was not able to stable himself. Great composure by Navi lost pistol and was manhandled by vitality on inferno, yet they made a comeback look possible. No matter who, Blade has to be the best coach counter strike has ever seen. He is rock solid. Spectacular game.
If u notice wonderful really missing his simple shots on crucial times and make few stupid moves which makes diff wonderful still not reach t1 level completely yet
He has not the experience zywoo has. Unfortunately can't deal with that pressure and zywoo slapped him like a kid. Even monesy would face him better tbh @@Dd1.0
i think vita could have closed it actually way earlier LMAO. Same for last map. Even on Dust 2 i believe vita was playing a bit poorly compared to their last dust 2 maps.
Series of the year for sure and also one of the best series in cs history, all games are close and lots for clutch rounds this is definitely two of the best teams fighting
The awper diff was absolutely significant here. I feel like Wonderful didnt have a good night sleep prior to the game. He was not fully locked in. I was watching live and they could have won mirage if he did not miss the shot in A Ramp. I kinda miss S1mple in this game because the performance between Zywoo and S1mple are somewhat equal. Wonderful was not able to keep up with zywoo in frags. Zywoo top fragging and wonderful almost bottom fragging. But they all have these days. He will do better. Congrats to vitality!
Super happy for ZywOo and especially Apex. They've been close on winning Cologne but now they finally get it. Back in Cologne 2019 ZywOo only went back with MVP but no trophy now he has both. The best CS2 series so far, it was absolutely enthralling!
I think zywoo is just like forest and s1mple is like Neo. Neo was the greatest in cs 1.6 and forest was second greatest,however in csgo forest surpass Neo overall and become goat of cs in general. The samething with zywoo,s1mple was the greatest in csgo and zywoo second greatest,however zywoo is better than s1mple in CS2 therefore zywoo is goat of cs in general.
@@dipendughosh4041Zywol is younger than S1mple. At his age, he already had better stats than S1mple in CSGO. No one ever finished year end #1 or 2 every year of their professional career. Not even close.
ZywoO is one of the best if not the best to ever touch this game yet the he is the most humble that's insane. You have to be mentally ill to hate this guy
Predictably the 2 best team of the tournament faced each other today. First of all Congratulations to Team Vitality. All players played very well even Apex the Igl was insane. Nt Navi but unfortunately today and during the whole tournament wonderful played not his best game. It’s ok when young players made mistakes but it was the huge aspect of their loss today. Navi became a very strong team but still they have a lot of work to do. GG to both teams!
@@handi-dz7qndude they lost 3-1 and had their 13 win streak in mirage snapped they clearly aren't the best team now. The best team changes depending on who wins
wonderful should get an award from vitality, he's a spy in NAVI's shirt! maybe he had a large bet against NAVI??? Bring simple back or a decent awper a least, his guy is failing his comms, his shots and everything. Spirit kicked him for being an impactless baiter, WHAT A SURPRISE!
@@ClaudioNoClip calm your tities , he has been a consistent and reliable awper for whole year , navi won few events and got in 3 finals in a row. Let's just ignore all the games where wonderful had double the kills of anyone in navi team and carried them... Anyone with a brain can understand that sometimes even the best players can have an off game. He's just human , not a fkn robot. "Bring simple back" Yeah let's ruin something that is working almost flawlessly just because wonderful had some nerves and missed few shots. Genius
yea and i think its dangerous, what if the moment he lift it and accidentaly drop it on someone's head. i think they should made that trophy a bit lighter since its only metal tho. the important is they have the trophy that symbolized their championship
IEM Cologne was more exciting then Copenhagen. Crazy upsets, awesome strategies, amazing player profiles. Fucking unreal event and this grand final was on another level. Mirage is an all time clash of the best. So keen for the rest of this season
i think IM is the best cs player currently and Vitality had to push his skills to the limits to defeat this NAVI...what a comeback from Mezii in Mirage(3k in CT-side and finish the map with 27k).
There is no way IM is the best not even in one of the best He is just only above average or average rifler in tier1 cs When you focus on his gamesense,not even top10 When you focus on his aiming,not even top10 Why did you think IM is the best?
@@bobbyq7037 The crosshair placement was bad, he holds it too close to the wall while he should hold by the middle of peek in case a guy peeks wide you have his shoulder hit
He was he only one holding A, even if he got one here are still three players left! Honestly he lost mirage and his failed comms, failed smokes/flashes are not qualifying him for a Tier S awper. Tier S baiter YES but not awper! (Kicked from Spirit because of these reasons!) Too much vape and tikok brainrot in instead of discussing strategy with his team/coach and then malding is not the correct approach you want from a PRO player in a 400k Cologne Grand Final. wonderbot L.
Ggs to Vitality and Navi for showing a mind blowing matchup. The OT's was the most nerve racking I've ever experienced this year and it felt like both teams were nearly at each others level. However, Vitality still came out on top to finally win cologne!! 🙌🙌 What a match
Whoever wins in mirage, wins in inferno next. The heavy toll on that loss truly a staggering one but still it gave us an incredible match. Gg for the loss team and congrats to the victor team (dont wanna spoil it)
wonderful should get an award from vitality, he's a spy in NAVI's shirt! maybe he had a large bet against NAVI??? Bring simple back or a decent awper a least, his guy is failing his comms, his shots and everything. Spirit kicked him for being an impactless baiter, WHAT A SURPRISE!
12-9 is also crucial on inferno and aleksib missing shots. also on nuke b1t has little contribution. JL, not much impact but hes doing fine. only iM played well on all Maps this time, but in the previous tournament hes at the bottom.
@@donH022 thought so too. i do have that feeling when seeing IM fragging at nuke while others especially b1t are tilting feels like they gonna lose pretty bad. You see, the major MVP play really bad all maps, Wonderful missing lots of important shot. Respect for IM to be able to carry them but that's not how Navi supposed to work. Probably these condition cost navi the trophy. Going againts Zywoo and his superteam can't afford a mistake. Even that low rating apex can frag like crazy shows something wrong with navi.
I can't believe what this cologne has to deliver. I was on edge of my seat whole match. Wonderful threw it away so many times against Spinx and zywoo. If I had to club into one sentence i would say Navi bottles when they are under pressure
INSANE GAME. Already a CLASSIC. Period. To get a great game you need 2 great teams with great players showing their best form on D-Day. That’s what we got. 2 hours highlights 😂 IN-SANE! 🔥
Two Frenchmen, two Israelis, and a Brit. Four maps, 117 rounds and four overtimes. This was the game of the year, no doubt. Apex went off, Zywoo was Zywoo, Mezii had his moments, Flamez was lights out. and Spinx was reliable as always. 100 kills from Zywoo over four maps is crazy. Navi played well, but it was Vitality's time/
DAMNNN THIS FINALS IS INSANE I’M GLAD I CHOSE TO STAY AWAKE JUST TO WATCH THIS MASTERPIECE! KUDOS FOR BOTH TEAM, THEY REALLY SHOWS US HOW GREAT THEY ARE ESPECIALLY ZYWOO 🎉
"In the revered cathedral of this sport, where the echoes of historic battles resonate through the ages, another epic contest has unfolded. This legendary arena, a temple to the game, has once again borne witness to a clash of titans, adding a new chapter to its storied legacy"
Mirage was intense holy shit The last time I saw such amazing battle on this map was Faze vs G2 in Katowice It’s was very good Grand Final there were so many highlights it’s pity we didn’t see map 5 Congrats to Vitality for winning cologne 2024
Epic fight! Love Navi and I'm sad that they didn't won it! But great fighting from both teams! Was so a close match! Respect# Vitality for this legendary fight! Congrats 🎊 to them from a Navi fan!
I witnessed this blast of a game live. The atmosphere was insane. The crowd was going craaaazy. Respect to the Golden Hornets for their amazing Chanteys!
So glad for Apex. This man rly deserved winning. Whole team Vitality showed their experience against strong Navi. Watching online this match gave such emotions. Thx to ESL for this amazing tournament
Today NAVI played without AWPER. Hell, I already forgot how many crucial shots W0nderful missed. Perhaps he is the most responsible for them losing today. Maybe with S1mple they wouldn't have made it to the final, but they certainly wouldn't have lost it today. He wouldn't have failed like that. Just look at minute 1:08:40. Final round, they won and played with less pressure and better in Inferno for being ahead on the scoreboard. The story would have been different
Counter stike cannot get any better than this... holy shit what a fucking match. It clearly reminded me why I love this game.. Offfff that mirage game was epic.. the moment you think its gonna go one way other team somehow comes back.. As a Navi fan, there is a bit of sadness but really happy to witness such greatness ❤
Today vita and zywoo have silenced all his haters who said Paris majors was fluke and vita can only win against tier 10 teams in play offs of big events.
@@AstroSully IF Vitality can keep their form, EPL Season 20 and IEM Rio are coming up. With the way they played Cologne, they have high chances to win those 2. And then they'll need another EPL in 2025 and they'll get it.
I see a lot of people point out Alexib and wonderful mistakes but no one saying anything about how many times bit got way too aggressive in many scenarios. As a team they had a lot of chances to score when needed. A bit too aggressive in moments patience was needed. Well played from both teams, love to see a good match for the grand final
While watching mirage, and after 2nd OT, I was already thinking, whoever wins this will win the whole series. Took too much of mental health to overcome that map, and Inferno showed it was impossible, only by the end NAVI woke up. Congrats to Vitality! PS a lot of people are saying about crucial mistakes, but that goes to both teams. The first 3 maps were uncertain until the very end! and I think 3 1 does not reflect how CLOSE this encounter was.
