FlipSid3 edge Selfless at main qualifier

As the competition in Columbus moved on to group A's initial round, FlipSid3 were set on a collision course with Selfless on de_inferno, with the latter starting as Terrorists.

There the teams began by taking the first three rounds back and forth in forcebuys with Michael "⁠Uber⁠" Stapells's team coming out ahead for 4-1. Exchanging the next two rounds meant FlipSid3 had to go on an eco, but a saved gun on Vladyslav "⁠bondik⁠" Nechyporchuk set him up for three triples in a row for their first lead in the game at 6-5.

Despite the rough start at the beginning FlipSid3 retook control and won all rounds except for one where Selfless came out on top of a 2-on-3. 

Selfless equalized the score after a triple-kill by Michael "⁠MAiNLiNE⁠" Jaber in banana in the second pistol round, but a powerful A take ended up with Kenneth "⁠koosta⁠" Suen saving a weapon. Only a mistake by FlipSid3 cost them a round against a forcebuy in the following six rounds, as they powered to a 14-10 scoreline.

A couple of exchanged rounds saw FlipSid3 reaching match point, while Selfless had to go on a poor forcebuy. Somehow they made it work in a retake on the B bombsite, but we didn't see another overtime due to FlipSid3 closing the map out at 16-13.
