Liquid go 2-0 after defeating HellRaisers

Methodical play from Liquid gave the American team a 16-9 victory on Inferno against HellRaisers for a 2-0 run in London after their first two rounds.

HellRaisers started winning the pistol round on Inferno against Liquid, with the North American side then trying to forcebuy two rounds in a row. Not able to buy guns the fourth round, HellRaisers cleared the way to a 4-0, but an ace by Jonathan "⁠EliGE⁠" Jablonowski on B stopped HellRaisers on their tracks in the first gun round of the match. Methodical play from Liquid quickly evened the match out, 4-4, as the American squad took control of the economic game over HellRaisers.

From there on out it became a one-sided affair as Liquid only gave up one more round before the half, winning round after round with Epitacio "⁠TACO⁠" de Melo, Russel "⁠Twistzz⁠" Van Dulken, and Keith "⁠NAF⁠" Markovic putting up great numbers before the half came to a close, 10-5.

Twistzz & co. go 2-0 in London after defeating HellRaisers

The second pistol round also went the way of HellRaisers as Kyrylo "⁠ANGE1⁠" Karasiow and Issa "⁠ISSAA⁠" Murad tallied doubles to stay in the game and cut the distance with Liquid. The first gun round kicked off with 10-8 on the board for the American side, and a great double entry by Twistzz on B made HellRaisers call for the save early in the round, making it 11-8. The following round then came out to the line as TACO was able to clutch a 1vs1 against Bence "⁠DeadFox⁠" Böröcz to keep his team rolling towards victory.

With the economic advantage on their side, Liquid were able to keep exploiting HellRaisers for a 13-9 lead after a couple of close rounds. HellRaisers were finally able to stop Liquid's attack for once, but were instantly reset, and down 9-15 were unable to stop the American team from executing on A and taking the map, 16-9.
