And Na'Vi's star player s1mple was, of course, the difference-maker for his side, posting 52 kills to lead his team. Both squads had strong T-sides on Mirage to keep the map close. MIBR had a chance to go up 15-13 late in regulation, but a questionable decision from Bruno \"shz\" Martinelli to go for a knife kill on s1mple gave one of the world's best players an opportunity that he capitalized on. This led to a 15-15 tie and overtime, which turned into a highlight showcase for s1mple. He had multiple three-kill and four-kill rounds in pivotal moments to keep his team in it, while Marcelo \"chelo\" Cespedes did the same for MIBR. The support of a co-star was the difference, though. Academy call-up Valeriy \"B1T\" Vakhovskiy had a 46 kill-game and several huge moments in overtime himself. He and s1mple showed an impressive amount of coordination and teamwork together. This marathon on Mirage was just the opening map in a best-of-three series between the two teams. MIBR and Na'Vi are competing in Group C of the ESL Pro League and are both in need of a victory to improve their 1-2 records. The series now moves on to Dust II, Na'Vi's map pick.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/26105509\/s1mple.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375785"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/928"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=375785"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375785\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":375811,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375785\/revisions\/375811"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/226125"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=375785"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=375785"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=375785"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=375785"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=375785"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=375785"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=375785"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
