A 1.79-rated masterclass from Oleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev wasn't enough for Natus Vincere to stop BIG in ESL Pro League S11 as the German team took a 2-0 victory in the series (16-7 Nuke, 22-20 Dust2).

Natus Vincere opened up their ESL Pro League season with an upset loss to North and were looking to pick up the pace in the second match against BIG. However the winners of IEM Katowice and current #1 team in the world wasn't able to beat Johannes "⁠tabseN⁠" Wodarz's team.

s1mple was outstanding throughout the series, but that wasn't enough to keep Natus Vincere afloat. BIG took a 16-7 win on Nuke and closed out Dust2 after multiple overtimes to claim the 2-0 for the series, their second win in the competition.

Natus Vincere started the series with a 4-0 lead as CT on Nuke, but BIG came back into it by winning eight out of the next nine rounds to finish the half with a minimal lead. With Florian "⁠syrsoN⁠" Rische on the AWP, the Germans put up a wall on the CT side to close out the map quickly, 16-7.

It seemed like the CIS side would bounce back on Dust2 as s1mple led the way with 20K-2D ten rounds into the game and they took an 8-2 lead. Natus Vincere extended that to 13-5 after the second half pistol, but that is where their troubles started for them.

Kirill "⁠Boombl4⁠" Mikhailov was unable to find the gaps in BIG's defenses and Natus Vincere's approaches fell flat round after round as they started to mount the comeback. s1mple broke 40 kills in regulation, but BIG was still able to complete the comeback and push the game into overtime. In the second set of added rounds, tabseN was the hero for BIG, closing out the series with a massive triple-kill on the A bombsite.
