ALTERNATE, Crowns to GC semis

The second round of matches at ESEA Season 22 Global Challenge saw the elimination affairs played out first, as ENCE met Chiefs in a do-or-die best-of-one in Group A.

Tyler "⁠tucks⁠" Reilly' side started out by taking 10 rounds for themselves as Counter-Terrorists on Cache, but the Finns followed it up with an impeccable defence, grabbing 11 rounds in a row for the 16-10 victory, eliminating the Australians in last place.

The other replacement for teams who had to drop out due to visa issues, Crowns, were pitted against Brazilian Open winners g3x, once again on Cache. 

A close 8-7 half went the Brazilians way who kicked off the Group B winners' match as Terrorists and extended their lead further with a pistol round, but Crowns quickly crawled their way back in, winning most of the remaining gunrounds for a 16-13 win and a place in the semi-finals.
