Sprout advances in IEM Beijing-Haidian
The German side takes the last spot at the upper final after 2-1 win.
The higher ranked Sprout beats K23 in the bo3 matchup where a potential upset at one time looked possible. The Kazakh team displayed some dominant Counter-Strike on the first map beating Sprout 16-5 in a very convincing matter.
But Sprout took revenge and showed why they were clear favourites going into the match. The German side did a reverse sweep and won the two following maps and grabbed the last remaining ticket to the upper final.
K23 – Sprout
16 - 5 - Inferno
14 – 16 – Dust2
13 – 16 – Train
The upper final between Spirit and Sprout will be played today at 19:00 (CET)
