FURIA defeat Swole Patrol; advance to EPICENTER closed qualifier

FURIA triumphed over Swole Patrol 2-1 (16-5 on Mirage, 5-16 on Overpass, and 16-11 on Train) to be the first team confirmed in the North America closed qualifier.

The first of four qualifiers kicked off with eight teams battling in a single-elimination bracket, where the likes of CLG Red, Excelerate, Hysteria, and Truth saw the exit doors early in the initial best-of-one matches.

The Abadir brothers fall short to FURIA

Swole Patrol, Infamous, small meats and FURIA then duked it out in the remaining best-of-three deciders, where Ryan "⁠freakazoid⁠" Abadir's men and the Brazilians eventually ended up in the grand final.

The grand final kicked off on Mirage, where Vinicius "⁠VINI⁠" Figueiredo and co. wasted no time securing their map pick with a swift 16-5 map victory. On the flip side, Swole Patrol comfortably secured their Overpass pick with a 16-5 victory of their own to even the series, forcing the decider on Train.

Right from the start, the Brazilians took over as CTs, rounding out the first half on Train with a commanding 11-4 score at halftime. In the second half, freakazoid and his men snapped back on their CT-side, but were unable to take more than seven rounds from FURIA, who secured Train 16-11 to advance to the closed qualifier.

it’s not like freak actually bullied him and it was 100% freaks fault. I think what happened was that simple was calling his esea mates out for playing like idiots for a while, them afterwards freak uses stewie’s mumble acc to join a server in a game he wasn’t even playing in to ‘reciprocate’. Obviously. not the right thing to do but if s1mple’s moments had been caught on stream i would assume freak’s punishment would have been a lot less severe. and yes freak kinda sucks that much is true
