It was a distant duel, it still is a distant duel, only that Virtus.Pro can't strike back anymore. The Russian team has collected three out of four points on the last two playdays against dd and mousesports.mousesports has managed to give the fight of Empire and Na'Vi for first place a new twist. The German team has taken a map off Empire, giving all chances to Na'Vi to claim victory in GosuLeague Division 1 Season 5 again. Na'Vi has already won October's Season 4 and was on par with Empire throughout the whole Season 5.Already on the first playday, Empire and Na'Vi played a draw on two matches against each other, followed by similar results, so in case they would end up with equal score at the season's end, a deciding best-of-three would have to take place.Funn1k said at DreamHack: 'It's a mistake not to ban Wisp against us.' What he didn't say was: 'against me.' Indeed, Funn1k's Wisp skills are respected all through the scene, as his play in the teleporting hero has worked out so many times for Empire already. Only this time, they were unsuccessful.After a tough first map, which Empire barely managed to win, the second map was over pretty fast, although Empire to their hands on a Funn1k Wisp and a Chaos Knight. However, mousesports, with a Black Faceless and a KuroKy Rubick stroke back. As KuroKy puts it: "Empire lost too much on mid lane."This mid lane, it was Scandal on Templar Assassin and Goblak on Jakiro against FATA- on Magnus and the said KuroKy. Telekinesis, Skewer, Fade Bolt, Shockwave: Deadly combination if you don't pay attention. KuroKy about the later outcome of the game: "After winning that middle lane, we just snowballed them by playing clean." Playing clean, this is an uncommon circumscription of baiting a Wisp relocating basically into a 5-man team.With Empire missing out on their final point, Na'Vi is just two maps away from taking GosuLeague. However, these two maps have to be won first. Puppey, Dendi, XBOCT, LighTofHeaveN and ARS-ART are in the middle of two offline events. They just finished only third at the ASUS Final Battle of the Year, losing against both Empire and Virtus.Pro in decisive matches. At the same time, they also should already prepare for the next offline finals in Kiev: StarLadder's StarSeries is coming to an end starting on Thursday.The one team with the sole task to crush Na'Vi's plans for a 2-0 is team Shz from Sweden. In their own strife to reach sixth place in division 1 in order to stay in GosuLeague Division 1, they won't give up easily. Scoring one map win against the Na'Vi of these days seems possible.mousesports in the meantime has to hope NEXT.kz doesn't win 2-0 against dd in their last match. That would mean they end with equal points and as NEXT.kz got the defwin against mouz on the first playday, they would consequentially overtake mousesports again and secure third place behind Na'Vi and Empire. mousesports still doesn't agree with the admin decision of playday 1, but as KuroKy says for a final conclusion for mouz's GosuLeague Season 5: "GosuLeague was fun, see you next year!" And indeed they will, together with Na'Vi, Empire, NEXT.kz and two other teams from the bottom half of the league for GosuLeague Season 6 coming up.
