Meanwhile, 3DMAX recovered their form to go 1-1.

NIP got to play Nuke for the second time today, this time at the expense of TYLOO.

A late 1v4 from Mercury was not enough for them, as xKacpersky had another superb performance with help from ewjerkz and sjuush.

3DMAX played Inferno against FlyQuest, as the Australian squad still cannot catch a break. They went down 9-0, with Maka getting a jumping no-scope with the AWP.

They showed a bit more face here, managing 7 rounds in the map. They drop down to the 0-2 pool, awaiting an elimination match in Budapest.

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.
