Gambit win CIS Minor over Rebels
Gambit Gaming won the CIS Minor Championship after seeing off Rebels 2-0 (16-4 on de_inferno and 16-3 on de_train).
Day three of the CIS Minor, hosted by Starladder in the Belarusian capital of Minsk, opened with a three-map thriller between Arcade, who had topped Group A over Method, and Group B runners-up Rebels.
With an in-form Sergey "spaz" Skrypchik, who amassed 44 frags on de_overpass, Rebels took the lead in the series in a 26-24 overtime victory. Arcade then hit back with a 16-9 success on de_mirage, but Rebels did not let their opponents completed a reverse sweep and sealed the deal with a 16-11 win on de_train.
