TSM knock ML out of Minor

Muffin Lightning took the lead after the first round of Cache by winning the pistols on the terrorist side. After winning both anti-ecos, though TSM brought it back after winning several rounds in a row to tie it back up, 3-3. The half started to go sour for Muffin Lightning as all their efforts were shut down by TSM’s defenses. After a ten row losing streak, Muffin Lightning finally got the two last rounds to go into the half trailing 10-5.

The second half started with Russel "⁠Twistzz⁠" Van Dulken and Skyler "⁠Relyks⁠" Weaver taking out all of their opposition on the pistol round, but two early five-seven kills by Ryan "⁠ichibaNNN⁠" Colucci on the anti-eco kept his team alive. TSM were quick to dispel Muffin Lightning’s hopes, though, shutting the half down and closing the map 16-6. 

Muffin Lightning were once again able to take the first pistol round, this time on Mirage, thanks to a triple by Jack "⁠arKimonday⁠" Kastner with the USP. Again starting ahead, Samuel "⁠SileNt⁠" Portillo and company got past the anti-ecos and were able to link four together before TSM answered. It didn’t take long, though, as Kory "⁠SEMPHIS⁠" Friesen’s team quickly tied it up and then took the lead as the terrorists were easily winning opening duels and taking over sites.

With a 9-6 lead after the half, TSM were able to secure the pistol round. After winning two more rounds, their lead was extended to 12-6. Muffin Lightning were able to break through thanks to a great round by SileNt but got immediately reset economically on the following round. TSM then went on to take Mirage, 16-10.
