Recca qualify for ZEN League

The Shootout Season 3, known as the SEA qualifier for the ~$75k league comes to an end today. The grand final featured the top Malaysian team, JYP up against Recca. 

Recca displayed a dominant half on the CT side, leaving Andrew "⁠kaze⁠" Khong's JYP with only one round on the score board. A triple-kill from Agung "⁠Sys⁠" Frianto helped his comrades secure the second pistol round and map point.

Surprisingly, not all hope was lost for JYP as Ashraf "⁠acAp⁠" Firdaus clutched a 1v3 situation in the following round to keep the dream alive for his team. This allowed the Malaysian side to build on their momentum for the comeback, which lasted for another nine rounds until Recca managed to close it at 16-10. 

As usual, the superstar, Hansel "⁠BnTeT⁠" Ferdinand performed for the Indonesian side dropping over 30 frags in the first map on Cache. Heading into map two, Alex "⁠xevR⁠" Pereira and co. experienced similar problems on their map pick on Train, being down 2-13 with a weak CT showing.

Shortly, Albert "⁠FrostMisty⁠" Giovanni's Recca ended the suffering for the Malaysians after delaying it for a few more rounds, taking the series in 2-0 fashion.
