Enemy win MLG Americas Minor

17-1-2016 23:30

Enemy have won the MLG Americas Minor over SPLYCE 2-0 (16-7 on de_cache and 16-9 on de_inferno) and win $30,000 and a spot at the MLG Columbus Major qualifier as a result.

The MLG Americas Minor saw Enemy, who quite effortlessly trumped Winterfox in the semifinals, and SPLYCE, who upset tournament favourites OpTic in their semifinal, face off for $30,000 and a spot at the Columbus Major qualifier.

de_cache was the first map of contention and despite a closely contested early game, which saw SPLYCE pick up a few T-side rounds, Enemy finished the half up 10-5.

koosta continues to excel at offline events

Arya "⁠arya⁠" Hekmat managed to defuse the bomb on SPLYCE's pistolround with four Enemy members still alive, but even such heroics were not enough as a solid Enemy offensive overwhelmed both bomsites and gave Michael "⁠MAiNLiNE⁠" Jaber and crew the map at 16-7.

Kenneth "⁠koosta⁠" Suen continued to rack up kills for Enemy, even on the second map of de_inferno where he ended up picking up a 33-14 scoreline. The map itself saw Enemy give SPLYCE no quarter and take the map 16-9, thereby winning the MLG Americas Minor.

I remember people saying the same thing about ptr after some strong performances against EU teams. Let's just wait and see how Koosta does against somewhat stronger opponents.

The only reason ptr got knocked down so low is because CLG wanted ska and there was a problem between him and his teammates

2016-01-18 04:20

lol no ptr was shit for a long time before that happened

2016-01-18 15:02

These definitely aren't tier 1 opponents, but still he is showing much promise in terms of individual ability. His CS career is pretty dang new so there's room to grow. PTR on the other hand had ONE good performance against LDLC? Koosta has been showing promise within the scene for quite awhile. Apparently NME matched every offer they received from orgs trying to buyout koosta. It kind of sucks, because it would have been cool to see him in a better/bigger team.

tbh I think we can safely consider enemygg the 4th or 5th best na team

I think we can safely say top 5 for sure.

2016-01-18 14:57

Tbh 4th/5th best team NA is not good.

2016-01-18 15:00

to be fair koosta is twice the player ptr ever been, especially if we put the hype of ptr vs the current koosta hype.

2016-01-17 23:53

SPLYCE do have a lot of raw aiming power in my opinion but they do way too many basic mistakes to be able to beat any tier-2 team which is kinda sad, would love to see arya playing for some better american team.
