Cloud9 win Americas Minor over Immortals

12-6-2017 04:00

Cloud9 are the winners of the Americas Minor Championship after defeating Immortals 2-1 in the grand final.

Mirage began with a bang as Vito "⁠kNgV-⁠" Giuseppe clutched a 1v4 situation in the pistol round to put Immortals in the lead. Cloud9 came fighting right back, however, and went on a massive run, with the Brazilians struggling to find a way through the rock-solid North Americans.

With the scoreline 2-10, Ricardo "⁠boltz⁠" Prass won a 1vs2 clutch with a tec9 to steal the round away from Cloud9. That round breathed some life into the game, with Immortals going on to win the next two rounds to bring the deficit to 5-10.

Cloud9 further added to their lead by taking the pistol round as Terrorists with an A push thanks to a triple kill from Jake "⁠Stewie2K⁠" Yip during a flank. With the economy control and the momentum in their favour, the North Americans continued amassing rounds and eventually took the map at 16-5.

Cloud9 win LAN title and break their curse vs. the Brazilians

The map that followed was Inferno, where Cloud9 got out to a 3-0 lead. Immortals then solved their defence and grabbed eight rounds in a row, but the North Americans pushed back late in the half to set the score at 9-6 in the Brazilians' favor.

After losing the following pistol round, Cloud9 rallied back on a force-buy thanks to two Scout headshots from Timothy "⁠autimatic⁠" Ta, but they were unable to follow it up, allowing Immortals to put together another great run that would see them lock down the map, 16-6.

It all came down to Cache, where Cloud9 got off to a flying start on the CT side, taking a commanding 8-1 lead. It was only then that Immortals' offence finally came to life, but all they managed to get before the end of the half was four more rounds.

boltz still tried to rescue Immortals, but without success

Cloud9 secured the pistol round as Terrorists and followed it up with the corresponding anti-ecos to take their lead to 13-5. In the first full gun round, the North Americans went for an audacious B push and were rewarded for it with the round win after finding two entry frags.

With the spot at the Major qualifier already secured, Immortals showed no interest in playing for overtime and went all out with force buys, but they failed to hold Cloud9 off, with the North Americans going on to win the map by a 16-5 scoreline.

2017-06-12 04:06

That's a lot of salt coming off of you

2017-06-12 04:08

Salty Triggered Mad

2017-06-12 06:05

Like fnatic in most tournaments in 2014/2015.

2017-06-12 07:08

Shroud bottom frag like always

Congratz especially Skadoodle he played well this minor! :)

Brazil zil zil zil IMT <3 Good job my team, u did great today and will be better to minor for sure <3 don't worry and focus to next step (the major) We smart, we loyal, we friendly, we are from BRAZIL! Kreygasm

Not a retarded brazillian who complains bc Immortals had no advantages despite coming from the upper bracket. Thanks dude.

2017-06-12 10:42

Are you kidding? Ska played insane this whole tournament.

2017-06-12 04:15

Because Renegades are so much better?

2017-06-12 04:21

lol both teams were already qualified C9 only win when there is nothing valuable to fight for kkkkkk

2017-06-12 04:20

15,000 nothing valuable kys

2017-06-12 04:26

their salary is higher than that 15,000 is good but they already qualified

2017-06-12 04:42

Yeah I know but there's a lot to try for man. The 'title' is the main thing, for example when Renegades won the Asia minor people said it didn't matter for Tyloo because they already qualified but it means a lot more than that. It means a lot for the players and even more so for the organization to win a tournament even if it's a small one. C9 weren't fighting for money, not for a qualifier spot but instead for the 'title' if that makes sense :P Sorry if I explained it poorly

2017-06-12 04:52

15000 is what shroud does with 1 stream lol

2017-06-12 04:57

BR EXCUSES 10/10

2017-06-12 06:06

ikr MLG Columbus and ESL Cologne were the best excuses

2017-06-12 12:44

Irrelevant victory tbh

c9 at least won something.. something..

2017-06-12 04:27

Immortals wins 3 maps and C9 wins 2... kinda sucks that C9 won 15k more than Immortals? Well played by all though.

2017-06-12 04:33

Even tho c9 won, you guys know immortals are the only ones that might actually qualify for the major :p

SKADADGOD IS BACK

2017-06-12 05:18

1st time C9 has beaten IMT on LAN. Good for them and good luck to both teams in the major qualifier.

2017-06-12 05:53

Shroud solid anchor...

I'm telling you man, if SK or any international line up picks up Boltzz, IMT is fucking ded. Hen1 is a god damn onliner and kNg is a failfish.

2017-06-12 06:22

Shroud 3 maps 36 frags thats some pronax fragging right there :D, lucky that c9 won, otherwise the flaming would be real..

2017-06-12 06:55

Poor immortals always choking against lower teams feel bad for them they are a much better team on LAN and would have a way higher chance of actually beating some of the EU teams whereas C9 has literally no chance and will lose in group stage like they do in 99% of the tournaments they play in.

2017-06-12 06:57

IMT still qualified for the Major qual though, this final was only for some extra cash

2017-06-12 07:49

Immortals qualif too, so dnt worry

2017-06-12 07:57

I didn't know about this details feeling thank you.

2017-06-12 22:28

Thank god i didnt bet on this match hehe
