Virtus.pro opened their series with a hard-earned victory on Inferno, where they came out on top in overtime, 19-17. Several key plays from “buster” made all the difference for Virtus.pro in some crucial moments.
Overpass was a bit simpler affair for the Virtus.pro squad as they always were in the lead. The Frenchmen managed to climb back from a 7-13 deficit, lowering it to only one round but that didn’t affect YEKINDAR and company as they grabbed the last three rounds confidently to take home the victory.
Highlight of the series:
