On April 9, Grand Finals 2016 concluded
with a dramatic victory
by Natus Vincere.
The twelve best teams in the world
participated in an epic tournament
of unexpected tactics
and intense battles.
Let’s see the top ten moments
from Grand Finals 2016.
That’s an unexpected use
of the new physics.
An accident
or a premeditated trick by Grifon?
Oh dear
Really? Really?
It’s next level place,
but again he can…
He’s actually getting shots as well
Yeah he can still fire
He still hit Vors9n.
Oh my word.
Oh Vors9n, if you go down to Grifon
that will be insane
What else can a tank
lying on its side do?
Ask LeBwa.
Inspirer and LeBwa, that’s a…
#newphysics
I haven’t seen that before bro
Yeah, I mean
That gets sideways man
It’s quite funny because actually
at the season finals Na’Vi
did this against NSS a little bit
and I didn’t expect them
to actually come up
with something slightly
more cheeky than that.
But yeah, new physics,
you can put yourself anywhere,
you can do barrel rolls,
you can do backflips.
You can see they’re trying to come forward.
Near_You wanted to splash,
comes forward, just gets completely
sent packing there Straik...
Why would anyone
bring artillery to Ruinberg?
To save the day
in the most incredible manner.
And he’s isolated as well
from the rest of his team.
Huge hit on the Bat that’s here,
that was artillery coming in.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! He was baiting him out!
The Bat-Chat’s are basically a more or less suicidal
around here into the corner.
The gun laying FVs that came round for it…
Oh, oh! 2,000 damage
from the artillery against Sh0tnik.
That was amazing,
but Adroxis misses his next,
he needs to finish him off.
Yes he does, he gets the 50B
If they win this map.
They are on the defensive, they’ve
Oh he’s done it!
They’ve shot the gun once!
What to do during the reload
on a BatChat?
Take your adversary for a carousel spin.
Oh hate, why did you do that?
hate had to get all three shots
but he missed and he doesn’t
Well he could actually reload. He can run away
if he can kill Coca_Cola now,
but Coca_Cola is really playing well.
He has two shells,
he can kill Coca_Cola
if he plays this well.
Don’t fire there, you’re gonna miss!
Ok he doesn’t, but Coca_Cola
is gonna give him the runaround,
the re-load’s almost complete on povel.
He lands the first shot,
can he land the second?
No, and there’s the reload,
he knows now that he’s under fire by the other.
No he doesn’t.
Did he miss that shot? He doesn’t care.
Wait, what? Track.
Only track damage.
Dodge, dodge, dodge! Hate dodge, it’s not over!
How do you surprise the defending team?
By capturing their base
at lightning speed.
We might have seen Nexus
actually pushing towards the middle
and trying to spot from the side.
Straik coming forward,
he’s gonna try preventing the reset attempt by distracting,
and I don’t think Kazna can even get close to this cap.
Nexus is the only one hat can de-cap right now,
you can see Na’Vi pushing the 1-2 line
countering the de-cap move.
50-100’s gonna shoot Nexus in the side
T57 is gonna shoot him in the front.
There needs to be a reset now,
he needs to get it.
No, I don’t think there’s any time
and Na’Vi steal the round away!
Do not mess with these boys!
They have a strategy,
a clear idea in mind.
Should you include artillery
in the setup?
It’s debatable,
but Wombats on Tanks know the answer.
And there’s a spot coming,
KycoK wants to make a shot
Oh my God!
Ooh, it’s the one shot! Already! Aaah!
Wow
It’s gonna be difficult for SIMP
to hold the position now, and 811.
Yeah it’s very difficult for SIMP
‘cause they are not actually
that far behind on hit-points and
KycoK just seems to yield
such a positive result.
Another shot will be coming.
Oh my…This is unbelievable!
They have to continually reset the cap
The E-50M is going to drop,
and that is a dominant start.
What can three tanks,
one of which is a light French tank,
do against four Tier X vehicles?
Score a tactical victory.
Also a lot can change in this.
Lucique can still be pivotal
if he gets a line of sight
but this is gonna be insane.
Yeah, Lucique really need
to help his E3 out there.
Here we go.
Grifon got rid of a track
FC_Dynamo good focus towards Grifon,
but again lolwo as he gets that shell ready
and available this could be all but done.
Grifon comes back in, Lolwo takes one,
good work from lolwo!
And now 3v2, it’s all on to lolwo,
if he could stay alive,
do some more damage that would be absolutely sick.
And again, tracks him – holds him,
does the damage.
This is outstanding play coming out,
but Grifon takes down FC_Dynamo,
it’s now a 3v2 but look at lolwo, 11HP.
Time’s gonna start running low here,
two minutes left.
They’ve got to do something
about the cap.
The cap’s still going as you said,
now Vors9n will be forced
to make a play.
It’s well in time so everything
comes down to the battle here,
and you can see it going down. Lucique with a lovely little shot
coming through but it’s gonna be denied,
lolwo comes back into it, 2v1 now.
Vors9n needs to go clutch here,
he’s got so little time to get back
and I don’t think he’s got it.
I don’t think he can make it in this time.
He’s got no chance and you can see.
Unreal
Lucique never should have died
there he’s the only one fast enough
to come back, and now the E3, just not quick enough.
Three against five
and with fewer hit points.
What do you do?
Nothing special—just win.
Eclipse still have
a lot of healthy tanks
It’s a 2v1 for ealien though,
he can’t fully commit to this,
there’s a cross-fire.
Nexus now timed up but actually look at it,
ealien still fights DarkGodZim!
They’re fighting back for this!
Nexus fights T1_Diabetic.
We’re down to a 3v3.
This is not done, this is not over.
And ealien once more,
he’s gonna find it.
It’s a pretty much a one shot for ealien.
ealien needs to find the angle though.
Brett, dancing with danger,
and the shot comes out.
ealien claims it, it’s a 3v2
Tigers and Mort have to hunker down,
they have to do the damage
to stay alive here.
He needs to land this cleanly,
he does that’s exactly
what Eclipse needed.
Now down to a 2v2.
2v1 upon the top of this
but Mort needs to play this properly,
he needs to be playing it so smart
and here we go.
This is the battle we want.
urallfish gets caught out,
Tigers is in the back lines
so now he’s slowed down and
And this is gonna be their commitment
and then Kazna Kru have found
that they will be able to get the first kill.
There they’re gonna get it, urallfish is there
and now it’s down to 1v2
and it looks like Tigers
is all but out of this
and Nexus is going in for the kill.
He’s got one more shell to make,
he’s gonna get the job done
and he gets it!
You saw how much that meant to Nexus.
How many high-explosive shells
do you need in a battle?
Three. Why? We’ll let Applewow explain it.
That’s gonna be the play for Na’Vi, it has to be the play.
He hasn’t got good angles, but he’s got HEAT
He’s taking heat there, he’s looking for the shot.
But he needs to connect that
and he does.
Now it makes it into a 1v2
but the work is far from done
for young applew0w here.
HE loaded up and ready to go,
and why not.
Both SL1DE and LeBwa
don’t have the armour.
Now applew0w is lit from this position.
LeBwa has a little sideshot,
gets some damage across as well.
This is gonna start to tick up
the pressure a little more for applew0w.
He’ll be sweating.
He knows, or at least he has a feeling
that the Waffenträger has himself
walled in there.
So apple’s trying to cross him off.
He’s still got some time to play around.
This is incredible.
Apple could come around the corner
and get a quick flick and get it done.
It’s the 1v1 now
and there is still time left!
applew0w will just have to de-track
and kill him.
Now SL1DE, this is the final stare.
The tumbleweed rolls past
and applew0w comes out
“Have a shell for your troubles, mate”,
and gets it done!
Ask anyone in the audience:
which moment of Grand Finals 2016
was the most memorable?
This one.
2v1, Inspirer just trying to hold on
but he knows applew0w’s up on the hill.
Grifon now is gonna try
to get involved.
Inspirer only has three shells left,
it’s not gonna be enough
to take both of these tanks down.
He needs to press forward.
applew0w slides down the hill
there as well, he avoids the shot,
the angle not there for Inspirer,
and inspirer may just be stuck
in that spot, he needs to jiggle
and get out of it there as well,
and in the meantime
of course Grifon will be descending.
But applew0w is actually stuck,
I don’t think applew0w can get out of this position,
he’s really screwed up for his team.
And Grifon has to find the shot,
this is terrible for applew0w.
Oh no, a shot from Grifon!
That’s huge!
Inspirer now down to one shot.
And applew0w is stuck, he can’t move.
No he can’t move, I told you he can’t move.
This is physics for you.
Cap has gone underway.
Grifon’s got a bush there.
Grifon will be sitting
behind one of the bushes,
he knows that.
Which bush, that’s the real question.
He peeks around, no light bulb yet.
Can’t tell, he gets the spot,
the shot comes in! I don’t believe it!
Inspirer gets it done, and now the 1v1!
Inspirer and applew0w
who’s stuck on the side of a cliff!
Time is up.
Na’Vi have taken the victory.
