The packed schedule today from IEM Fall CIS, the last RMR tournament before the PGL Major, is in full swing. One of the first matches at the event was the battle between Nemiga and Spirit, where it was the latter team who ended up as the victors.
The Bo1 matchup was set to be played on Nuke, owing to the veto of the two teams. Spirit began on the CT-side and showed quickly that a new meta has commenced in CS:GO – The so-called M4A1-S meta.
The players from Spirit clearly took advantage of the new update by Valve, where the M4A1-S was buffed heavily. With the silencer on their rifles and an incredibly powerful AWPer in Abdul “degster” Gasanov, the Russian dragons steamrolled over Nemiga in the first half, setting up a dominant 11-4 score before the switch.
The dominance by Leonid “chopper” Vishnyakov’s troops continued on the T-side, as they battered through Nemiga’s defence round after round. Spirit closed out the Bo1 match with a strong 16-4 victory, which means they are now topping Group A.
