Renegades to Asia Minor playoffs over B.O.O.T-d[S]

Renegades have booked their spot in the Asia Minor playoffs following a 2-0 victory against BOOT-d[S] (16-5 on Dust2 and 16-6 on Cache).

Renegades and BOOT-d[S] squared off in the Group A decider match for a spot in the Asia Minor playoffs. Dust2 was the first map in the best of three series with the Australian team starting on the T-side.

Karlo "⁠USTILO⁠" Pivac & Aaron "⁠AZR⁠" Ward clutched a 2vs4 in the pistol round and Renegades made it 3-0 after winning two anti-eco rounds. Joakim "⁠jkaem⁠" Myrbostad's team were victorious in the first weapon round and their streak continued until the 12th round.

When Renegades were leading 11-0, Kumaresan "⁠Tommy⁠" Ramani got a triple kill to stop the Ts for the first time in the game. However, Renegades had no intention of slowing down as they finished the half with a 13-2 lead.

Even though BOOT-d[S] took the first three rounds in the second half, the possibility of a comeback was shut down when Renegades picked up the first weapon round. Justin "⁠jks⁠" Savage & company went on to win the map 16-5.

Renegades started Cache on the CT-side and won the pistol round with a 5vs5 retake. BOOT-d[S]' early buy in the third round worked and the Singaporean team got on the board but Renegades didn’t let them start a streak and reset their economy (3-1).

A triple kill by jkaem in a 2vs3 made it 7-1 and the Australian side had a 13-2 lead at halftime. Renegades managed to win the second half pistol round and later closed out the map with a 16-6 scoreline, winning the series 2-0 and advancing to the playoffs at the Asia Minor.
