From the first second of the match between BIG and Sangal there was a difference in class between the two teams.
On Mirage it was one-way action from the get-go where Johannes “tabseN” Wodarz and Florian “syrsoN” Rische had a feast. The two BIG players shut down any attempts from Sangal to break the defense and caused huge problems for the underdogs. Fellow German Robin “ScrunK” Röpke had a nightmare of a first half going 1-14, which was the same score, that Sangal was trailing with after the first half.
Sangal managed to win two rounds after the break, but that was nowhere near enough to change the fact, that BIG was just on another level. Both teams are back on the server tomorrow.
