Infused win i53

25-11-2014 19:42

Infused have taken a 2-0 victory over VEXSTAR (16-6 de_nuke, 16-9 de_mirage) to win Multiplay's i53 event at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry, UK and claim the £2,000 first place prize.

The 32-team group stage kicked off on Friday and saw most of the top seeds win their three BO1 group games with the only real upset coming from Group G where ALL4, a relatively unknown lineup, managed to topple Tom "⁠vertiGo⁠" Rockliffe's TLR and take the higher seed going into the playoffs.

Saturday morning brought the top two teams from each group into a double-elimination bracket which was played out completely except for the lower final, consolidation final, and the grand final which were left until Sunday.

redSNK led his team to victory in the end

Ben "⁠r0m⁠" Smith's VEXSTAR were the first team to book their place in Sunday's grand final after managing to overcome the top two seeds, fm-eSports (16-2 de_cache, 12-16 de_inferno, 16-12 de_nuke) and Infused (16-11 de_cache, 14-16 de_mirage, 16-10 de_nuke), much to the surprise of most viewers.

The following morning saw Sam "⁠RattlesnK⁠" Gawn's fm-eSports take down TLR in the lower final (16-9 de-cache, 16-4 de_dust2) but they weren't to make the final this time around as Infused took them down in the following consolidation final (12-16 de_mirage, 16-9 de_cache, 16-10 de_season).

James "⁠redSNK⁠" Littlewood's Infused kept up their good form, carrying it through to the grand final where they managed to take down VEXSTAR with ease (16-6 de-nuke, 16-9 de_mirage), claiming the i53 title and the £2,000 cheque to go with it.

I thought neon and zecer played with infused at this event. Why didnt they?

3 replies

neon realised that he was a world class player so he was released from infused to help him his career. Neon beat NiP in a pracc so he told everybody.. Infused would like to thank him for his time and effort and wish him all the best in his amazing CS career.

So FM-eSports still exists? I thought they disbanded already.

I'm pretty sure this result will seal the deal.

FM-Esports constantly change there roster for LAN - TLR who turned into FM disbanded not long after and this team was brought in just for I53 not been a solid FM line up for years which sucks.

2014-11-25 20:26

ZED was playinjg for FM Esports for i52, played against him during the group stages, the fact zed is in infused shows their roster changes always happening xD

2014-11-26 04:55

Only reason why ZED and FearLess was playing in Infused was because they couldn't afford to fly there Danish players over!

No VAC bans at this LAN, this is why the UK scene dominates every other scene in Europe right now. Entire 1-16 of UK teams, no EU teams could even make it into the top16. Clean players whose skill levels are up there and probably even higher than fnatic, NiP and LDLC.

no Kappa?

This is so true, literally the best scene in CS:GO. All 16 teams could have beaten Titan and Epsilon even with their hacks. Best players and teams in the world. Kappa
