Copenhagen Flames done at BLAST Showdown
The CT-sides were a massive factor in this Bo3.
The Copenhagen Flames are done at BLAST after just one match. They did their best and forced ENCE to go all three maps, but in the end, it was simply not enough.
The Bo3 kicked off on Copenhagen Flames’ pick of Overpass where ENCE got off to a great start with a 6-0 lead on the CT-side. “roeJ” and “jabbi” did their best to pull the Flames back into contention, but the first half ended with ENCE being up by 11-4.
The Danes had an opportunity to make a comeback as they had a bit of success in the second half but were not quite able to find the answers to ENCE’s explosive T-side.
The action continued on ENCE’s pick of Mirage, where the Flames came in with a hunger for blood and revenge. The Danes, on the CT-side, seemed to have found their form after the shaky first map and were playing much better both as a team and individually. They led by five rounds at the break.
ENCE looked better after the break but were not able to completely put a stop to the Flames, who with a lot of fast hits found small gaps in the defense to exploit, and they closed the map at 16-10.
The deciding map of the series was Ancient, and right from the get-go “Snappi” and “Spinx” were glowing hot on the CT-side. The two got a lot of kills early on in the rounds which meant that ENCE got to play a lot of rounds where they were a man up. Flames were down by five rounds at halftime.
It was starting to look good for the Flames as they had arrived on the CT-side, but unfortunately for them, they were playing against “Spinx” who continued tearing his way through everything and everyone to win the game at 16-9.
