NAVI managed to barely beat Imperial to go 2-0.

NAVI managed to barely beat Imperial to go 2-0.

A 29-kill performance from Staehr was not enough for Astralis to make it past M80. They will play their 0-2 match tomorrow in order to stay alive in Budapest.

M80 prevailed on Ancient with a 13-11 score, and will play one more best-of-one match tomorrow. Astralis almost made a late-stage comeback, thanks to Magisk stepping up alongside Staehr, but ultimately fell.

NAVI edge out a messy game

NAVI played Imperial, and were just able to edge them out, through a never-ending forcebuy war. w0nderful stood out as the prime star, having a Desert Eagle 4k defending A-site.

Imperial did not make it easy, coming back from a 4-8 deficit to tie the game and make it interesting. They go into the 1-1 pool after winning against MiBR earlier today.

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.
