Renegades knock out Space Soldiers in overtime

Renegades live to fight another day at the FACEIT Major after edging past Space Soldiers 19-15 in the New Legends stage.

Aaron "⁠AZR⁠" Ward opened up the action in the match - the first sending a team home in London - with a quad kill as Renegades pushed A to give his team the pistol round. The Australian team hardly broke a sweat to win the corresponding anti-ecos, but they lost control of the game once Space Soldiers had money in the bank.

Space Soldiers put together a string of rounds to take a 6-3 lead, not letting a long technical pause get to them. Renegades were determined to not let the game run away from them and responded on a shoddy buy. That round ended up turning the tide back in the favour of the Australians, who took an 8-7 lead.

Renegades pulled through in the end after a nerve-racking game

The second half began with Space Soldiers taking the pistol round and the following anti-ecos to retake the lead. A triple-kill from AZR in the first gun round gave Renegades their first round of the half and marked the beginning of a great run from the Australian team, who brought the scoreline to 14-10.

It looked like Renegades had the game under control, but Space Soldiers added some life to this game by upping the pace, eventually hitting match point on the back of a triple-kill by Ismailcan "⁠XANTARES⁠" Dörtkardeş. It was certainly one of the most important rounds ever for Renegades' players, but they were able to keep their composure to force overtime, in which they would crush their opponents, winning four rounds without response.

Interesting game with a result not even inspiring especially when rng. had so much trouble during the 30 regulation rounds. Respect to the man MACSTYLE though for stepping up and taking the responsibility - in the end he is the mastermind for smokes and strats. Regardless of that S.S.'s OT T half was questionable - didn't really put the big fraggers and good strats into much use...... Let's see how rng. get on though - will it be another Tyloo vs Rng.?

Nah, They were far better, SS got extremely lucky with that 3 man site gamble early on that but Renegades into a double eco, 14-14 in the same round hardstyle got a mid air headshot and Paz got a lucky kill thru smoke, Just look how easy it was for Renegades in overtime when they weren’t new struggling with money

Lol, why? i dont think so. They were lucky to win 1st half. Eco round when Calyx was in granade in hands, immideatly after that 3v5, then last round of the half, whete Maj3r didnt shoot guy in the back on A short. He just ignore him. At all, SS woned a bit more gun rounds in the main time. If we will count, that that was 4v5 almost every round, they choked hard in some rounds, Renegades were lucky to win. Too many mistakes from SS - the most important in the last round. Nifty just was lucky and unchecked. If SS didnt forgot about him, ezpz 6 gun rounds in a row for SS and free win.

and idk what are you talking about. Renegades were saving every round from 10-14 to 15-14. Every round they had decent buy (except the last one in the half). Double eco was only in pistol rounds. In second half SS won 2 ecos after pistol. Other rounds were with guns!
