Renegades defeat Signature; to Minor playoffs

After a long pause due to technical issues, Renegades and Signature resumed their match and it was the Australian side that won in the end with a 2-1  map score (Mirage 9-16, Nuke 16-5, Overpass 16-11).

The deciding series of group A at the Asia Minor started with a shock, as Signature managed to sweep Renegades on Mirage with a 16-9 scoreline. Nuke, the Australian side's pick, followed and we saw Aaron "⁠AZR⁠" Ward and co. replying with a strong showing of their own. Renegades took 11 rounds as Terrorists in the first half and swiftly secured the second map after switching to CT.

Renegades made it through a grueling first day at the Minor

With the score tied at 1-1, the series went to the decider, Overpass. Just a few rounds into the series, extreme technical issues caused the match to be postponed for a couple of hours. After the problems were fixed, we saw Renegades kick into a higher gear and turn a tight 6-5 score into a respectable 9-6 CT half.

The start to the Terrorist side was good for the Australians, as they took the first three rounds, but Signature took control of the game from the first full buy onwards.

The team from Thailand got the score to 12-11, but the combination of Noah "⁠Nifty⁠" Francis, Nemanja "⁠nexa⁠" Isaković and Justin "⁠jks⁠" Savage activated towards the end of the map and got Renegades the four following rounds that secured them the map and a spot in the playoffs.

kangaroo team is the only team who encountered such so-called “serious” tech problem. any other team played well with their machines. Most interesting, when kangaroos claimed a network problem, signature did not have it. In addition, the organizer cannot find any log including loss of package during those rounds. maybe when kangaroos came to China, they cannot play csgo but damage their computers only.

My reply was intentionally predictable. It's a norm on hltv. And yes, moving a lot completely justifies having no flag, alongside me not considering myself part of any one of those cultures. I couldn't care less about that sort of thing. 90% of the people here are fakeflaggers so what's the point picking a flag anyway. It serves no purpose.

And Signature is not a pro team,some of the players are still students.So this is what a pro team did?Renepause always have excuses to pause at different tournaments,especially in Asia,meanwhile any other team plays normally.Shame to them,win matches through dirty ways.

renepause...always only them has "issues" and takes technical pauses when they are in trouble. they should just not allow renegades any leeway on these technical pauses anymore since they keep abusing it, and also take away their timeouts as penalty for always playing dirty. if they have a technical issue, renepause should play through it since they abuse the power of the benefit of the doubt and the kindness of fair admins

Ppl salty over the pause. If signature won after the pause, then would anyone be typing the same in favour of renegades? Shit happens. They literally had to delay the game for a few hours because of it. That's not renegades fault, that's the organisers fault for having shit PC's and equipment fail. Most of you are reading into the situation way too much. It could've worked out either way for each team but renegades came out on top today. Stop being so salty. This shit is no conspiracy or anything of the like.

Hey salty Kangaroo fans, we are not mad,we just feel this not fair to Signature.When IMM played,the PC and network is good.When every one but RENEGPAUSE played,the PC and network is ALL good,expect their own mic problem. 2016 PGL minor in South Korean,it's the first time of Renegandes used this "pause" tried to get a dirty win and they got it.Is South Korean use Chinese network? 2-4 to 2-3,it's not fair play,it's not gentlemen.We can't say this is a good game,but people will recember this match and Renegandes by their "pause skill". Renegandes is not VOX anymore. GL,AU CS.
