That's very inaccurate. The official stream did have a delay. For each tournament there's usually another private feed which has no delay and is shared with betting sponsors for the purpose of real-time betting. For all tournaments that feed is kept very tightly and none except the betting sponsors have access to it. For this tournament though, apparently, the feed was provided to all casters, admins, etc. and was leaked publicly to some major bettors.

Upsets shouldnt be that frowned upon. The other team can antistrat like crazy while you dont even know what their faceit rank is. Of course im not justifying the bad performance but we should praise more Akuma than shit on Navi
theres a lot of potential for tier 2 teams to upset tier 1 teams, they have insane aimers and players too and they have all the time in the world to study navi's tactics to completely outplay everything navi have as defaults whereas navi will be like: "akuma who? lets go smash them" and then this happens..

I think NaVi got a bit overconfident and didn't prepare for this game.....They are already coming from a DreamHack win and sitting on higher rank of CIS RMR. Meanwhile, Akuna probably anti-stratted like crazy....

@noone just because you lose a bet doesn’t mean they are match-fixing. Stop being salty and discredit Akuma for putting their time studying for this match
hey lau would you be able to make more vids on improving in cs? I feel like you'd do a great job at the different types of movement to use in different situations for example, most people these days know about counter strafing but maybe more on abusing crouch sprays and also im not sure if others do this but I sometimes use it for awping and jiggles but its essentially 1)hold a unti you get to the angle and u can barely see the angle you want to clear 2) hold d and use that tiny gap of chanign direction to be accurate rather than stopping to counter strafe. works even better for awps for me personally so I'd be interested in your thoughts

I get that Akuma were having a good day and navi was having a bad one but still This is a great game from akuma to take down a team like Navi even on a bad day.
Dear Coach Lau, please make in-game volume higher. When I'm watching these videos in the player's perspective it's impossible to hear anything that is happening in the game because your mic volume is so high. The balance is off, I think. Thanks.

Now the truth is coming out, turns out Akuma won for a reason XD, let's wait for the verdict to come out, but from the clips that I have seen, it's pretty clear that Akuma did have an unfair advantage
I think this is a classic case of a top tier team just getting outplayed. Navi got too comfortable while Akuma buckled down and prepared for this match.
Knowing akuma uses the stream to snipe why would you watch this.... sad the video was made before proof of them not cheating. Just puts simple in a bad light
i have a theory but it may be flawed cuz idk, but people are saying all these lower level teams are beating top tier teams just cuz its online but when we watch lans, ive never seen a team like akuma, lan events literally only put tier 1 teams vs tier 1. except for things like seeding in majors like 2019 major with crazy and stuff, but ive never heard of crazy until 2019 so maybe the players on these lower teams could be some tier 1 teams we just never see it cuz they literally never play them at lans and they are stuck playing each other in tier 2, even tho probably both of the tier 2 teams playing each other could compete vs a tier 1 team like navi at a lan.

no possibility of hacks here? That sensei peek to ladder room suspicious asf. Is that a thing? I've never seen anyone do that being exposed to a lot of angles just to peek the specific spot S1mple is holding. Could they prepare for s1mple to be holding that sliver angle in ladder? I mean its ridiculous and suspicious asf.
No its not common but remember that these guys play scrims for 6 hours a day. They feel the game a different way than you do. Nothing about this game was overwhelmingly suspicious
I think it's just pure preparation. I mean, did you see just how often s1mple boosted someone ladder or was boosted himself? Especially with how many matches NaVi played in the last few months, it's probably pretty easy for Akuma to anti-strat them, if they put in the hours. 1) NaVi has to play a lot of official matches and doesn't have as much time to keep developing new strats or gameplans. (The meta in top tier csgo is almost stagnating due to oversaturation in matches and therefore less breaks to work out new map strategies, tactics etc.) 2) There is a lot of footage and VODs of NaVi to learn from. 3) kind of an addition to 1) - with more matches and less time in between, the impact of the coach shrinks, while the IGL has to do more. But (in my opinion) Boombl4 just isn't quite on the level as some of the IGLs for other high tier teams (e.g. glaive, blameF, cadian, AleksiB or even nafany - at least every time I watched Gambit, nafany seemed to be a pretty good caller). Because NaVi is more of a "coach-team" (strategically), they might struggle more against good stratting/anti-stratting in this type of oversaturation era.

I’m pretty sure if it was a BO5, navi would have slapped them 3-2, you could see that navi ddin’t even care about this team and simple mentioned how BS CIS is and how they’re unable to commentate or even show replays properly, still sad to see a player with the highest rating overall in 2021 perform this bad, I guess we can call it a one off because ZywOo had a game similar to this

Can see how akuma are having the cheating allegations circulating atm
Apart from the poor clears from connector which happened twice, there isnt much he could have done. It was a great performance by akuma and not so much a poor performance by s1mple.
I’m pretty sure if it was a BO5, navi would have slapped them 3-2, you could see that navi ddin’t even care about this team and simple mentioned how BS CIS is and how they’re unable to commentate or even show replays properly, still sad to see a player with the highest rating overall in 2021 perform this bad, I guess we can call it a one off because ZywOo had a game similar to this
Can you pls do big vs nip with syrson?
Those guys did some serious homework, S1mple must have been tilting really bad at the end
lau is life
Hi Launders
would you consider making a video with your thoughts on pros cheating in csgo?
you probably remember the guy TheC0ncept who made videos on the topic.
i really respect your opinion on these things and i would love to hear your take on the topic.
i hope you are not bound by anything that silences your voice on this matter.
Kind regards
Lasse
