Natus Vincere have closed out another season of the Intel Grand Slam, securing the $1 million cheque after defeating Vitality in the ESL Pro League Season 14 grand final. Aleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev and company have thus become the third team to be awarded Intel’s gold bars following Astralis and Liquid, the winners of the first two seasons. The feat has taken Natus Vincere nearly a year-and-a-half since they got the first of four victories at IEM Katowice 2020, the last pre-pandemic LAN event, and was won half online and half

Hot off a win at IEM Cologne before the tournament break, there was little doubt whether Natus Vincere would make the playoffs of ESL Pro League Season 14. Any early trepidation regarding their form following the end of the break and return to online play was swiftly quelled as the Russian squad took Group C by storm, stamping their authority over fnatic, mousesports, Evil Geniuses, and FaZe, with only BIG briefly putting a halt to the CIS side's momentum. The single series loss has done little to dissuade Andrey "⁠B1ad3⁠"

Following a fiery hot performance from Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut on Inferno and an impressive all-around showing from the team on Vertigo, Team Vitality stunned Gambit in the quarterfinals of ESL Pro League season 14 today. Vitality came into this CS:GO series fresh off a close but still convincing win against a short-handed Complexity lineup in the round of 12. After what had been a relatively quiet event toward the end of a down year for ZywOo, the two-time reigning player of the year put on a masterclass on Inferno. It

The next CS:GO destination for Brazilian star Marcelo “coldzera” David has been revealed. Complexity has announced that coldzera will fill in for the injured Kristian “k0nfig” Wienecke in the BLAST Premier Fall group stage. Fittingly, he’ll debut against his former team, FaZe Clan, in his first match. This announcement confirms a joint report from Dexerto, 1pv, and Globo Esporte made earlier in the week that said coldzera would be taking over the stand-in duties soon after ESL Pro League season 14. Complexity competed in the Pro League with Niels Christian

"It was hard to hear we are the second team in the world." Abay "⁠Hobbit⁠" Khasenov says the words with a smile on his face, but there is more than a hint of frustration behind them. Whilst many players and teams would be thrilled to feature at the #2 spot in the HLTV rankings coming out of the player break, Gambit do not count themselves as one of those teams. They have good reason not to. It would be fair to argue that 2021 has been Gambit's year so far,

On Sunday, NIP secured the last playoffs spot at ESL Pro League Season 14 after a group stage run that saw the Swedish side show different faces throughout their five series. As Nicolai "⁠device⁠" Reedtz described it, it was a rollercoaster-like campaign in which the team suffered a tough opening loss to Liquid and came back with wins against Entropiq and TeamOne, before another blow came when NIP were unable to topple a weakened FURIA side playing with their coach. "I think starting out against Liquid was actually maybe the

This month's ranking will likely see some of the least movement out of any edition of the HLTV Global Team Ranking, due to the fact that this edition comes after the player break. We have little new information to base any changes in ranking on. The majority of the new data that we do have comes from the ESL Pro League group stage, and being one of the most important events of the year, it vastly outweighs anything else that has taken place since we returned. We saw surprises and

Off the back of their success in Group C, mousesports came out on top of a three-way tie with fnatic and FaZe where the latter of the three missed out on a playoff appearance. After starting the group 0-2 with losses to FaZe and Natus Vincere, the international squad turned things around and managed to finish second in the group. mousesports are set to face NIP in the opening game of the round of 12, where they must defeat the Swedish team in order to progress. The two teams last
