The sixth edition of ESL One Cologne kicked off on Tuesday, July 2nd with early action from Group A as Team Liquid took down MVP PK and Na\u2019Vi held off mousesports.

As the two teams did battle on Train in a best-of-one, Na\u2019Vi fell behind early in the first half as mousesports jumped out to a 6-3 lead. With the European upstarts looking to bag themselves a four round lead, they downed two foes before s1mple\u2019s team even had the chance to respond. Yet, with the situation looking dire, he stepped up. The Ukrainian star sprayed down Frozen and ChrisJ to level things up in a three-on-three before sneaking further towards the outside bombsite. Woxic quickly responded with an AWP kill to give Mouz a slight upper hand but they were unable to press home their advantage as s1mple and Zeus picked up tandem kills \u2013 leaving Ropz as the final target. Despite the Estonian star taking down Zeus, s1mple quickly fired back to give his team the round win and another notch in their first-half total. As ever, s1mple\u2019s ability to clutch up propelled Na\u2019Vi to a 16-14 over the new look mousesports lineup as they jumped out to a perfect start in Group A. The Ukrainian superstar completed the game with yet another impressive stat line \u2013 racking up 32 kills and only falling to 17 deaths. His +15 K\/D was more than double highest of anyone on the server as he put his explosive talent on show for all to see. He\u2019ll need to be in fine form yet again as Na\u2019Vi\u2019s win landed them a date with world #1 Team Liquid in the upper bracket of Group A.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
