The team touted to go 3-0 was a round away from facing elimination.
MiBR started the day horrendously, losing to THUNDER dOWNUNDER, already shattering predictions for the event. Against TYLOO, they seemed to have recovered, picking up a 10-2 half on Nuke.

Player of the match: LNZ
It ended up being a captain’s performance, as LNZ brought it over the line with multikills and aggressive T-side calling that clinched the map.
NRG best SINNERS
NRG avoided going down to the 0-2 pool, after defeating SINNERS 13-6 on Nuke. Grim continued his rampage, finally hitting pink form since donning the NRG jersey earlier this year.
The match took place on Nuke, where NRG as a whole outplayed SINNERS, getting a 7-round T-side. Their AWPer didn’t have much to do as he only had 7 kills, but it didn’t end up mattering.
