Cloud9 defeat EnVyUs for their first win in Atlanta

The North American team started the match on Cache strongly, going up 5-1 as CT's early in the game with some comfortable round wins and by cleaning up the anti-ecos. Adil "⁠ScreaM⁠" Benrlitom's double kill in round 7 opened up the round for Envy, the Frenchmen claimed it and went on to bring the score back to 6-4 in Cloud9's favor.

To change the pace, Cloud9 went aggressive on B and claimed sunroom, which resulted in an interesting round. Envy took down Tyler "⁠Skadoodle⁠" Latham who was playing there and rushed into the B bombsite, but with help from teammates that were flashing in, Jake "⁠Stewie2K⁠" Yip did enough to delay Envy' attempt to take over the bombsite.

After breaking Envy's momentum, Tarik "⁠tarik⁠" Celik's side didn't slow down. Timothy "⁠autimatic⁠" Ta scored an anti-eco quad to make it 9-4, but it was Skadoodle who ensured Cloud9 a dominant half, clutching a seemingly impossible 1v3 on the A site.

Things were looking rough for Vincent "⁠Happy⁠" Schopenhauer's squad moving into the second half, however Christophe "⁠SIXER⁠" Xia secured a double with the USP-S that swung the things Envy' way. Happy's side started bringing it back slowly, with a four-man A push in a reset rounds for their opponents working wonders as both Cédric "⁠RpK⁠" Guipouy and ScreaM both picked up double kills.

At 13-10 for Cloud9, the North American side ran into a two-man mid setup from the Frenchmen, but picked up both kills and exploded onto the bombsite to make it 14-10. From that point onwards, William "⁠RUSH⁠" Wierzba and co. looked comfortable and closed out the game 16-11.
