Spirit stun FURIA and go 1-0 up
The South American hope was dealt an early blow at the Legends Stage at PGL Antwerp Major.
Team Spirit managed to take down FURIA in the opening round of the Legends Stage. A huge shock for the Brazilians, who could be looking into a difficult path towards the next stage now.
Against Team Spirit it was expected, that FURIA would take care of the CIS team without any problems. At 11-5 in favor of FURIA, it looked like a walk in the park for Andrei "arT" Piovezan and his men to secure the victory. But Team Spirit fought back and equalized the score at 11-11.
FURIA looked a bit shell-shocked after the comeback, and it didn't get better in the second half, where Team Spirit just continued to put maximum pressure on FURIA, who had no answer in return. A huge upset and now the Brazilians find themselves in a difficult situation with teams such as FaZe, Vitality, Outsiders, and Team Liquid in the 0-1 bracket already.
