b1t went 19-1 as NAVI got a 12-0 half.

FlyQuest narrowly avoided being 13-0’d by NAVI, managing only 15 kills collectively on the T-side of Train. b1t was unstoppable, getting kills in 12 of 15 rounds in the opening half.

On the B-stream, AURORA got an opening win against M80 in convincing fashion. It went to Dust2, as AURORA succesfully removed M80’s comfort pick of Mirage, where they have a 100% win-rate recently.

The first half was close, as M80 picked up the pistol and a few rounds spearheaded by Lake. However, AURORA quickly got rolling, with Wicadia popping off.

They won the second half pistol, and Wicadia was a menace on the T-side.

Both maps were convincing wins for the highest two seeds in Stage 2.

I'm an aspiring journalist in the world of esports. I first got into MOBAs watching SMITE in 2015, and got hooked on CS from the MLG Columbus Major.

My goal as a journalist in this space is to tell the esports stories that will live on in history, and give insight into the stories behind the scenes when they're relevant.

Besides that, I have a bachelor's in philosophy and have an interest in German thinkers from the 18th-19th century.
