North send Virtus.pro packing in London
North have moved into the 1-2 pool in the FACEIT Major's New Challengers Stage after defeating Virtus.pro 16-6 on Mirage.
The final match of the day began with a strong start from North, who took a 3-0 lead following a fast B execution in the pistol round. Virtus.pro hit back in the first full gun round, only to get immediately reset following a key trio of kills by Markus "Kjaerbye" Kjærbye.
After getting their economy back in order, Virtus.pro won three of the next four rounds to bring the deficit to 4-6, with Michał "snatchie" Rudzki putting in a great performance to keep his time afloat. But North were quickly back at it again, and they dominated the final stages of the half to head into the break up by five rounds.

Carrying their momentum into the second half, North won four rounds without response to pile even more misery on Virtus.pro - who would reply on a very weak buy following a triple-kill from snatchie on the B site. That round kept the Poles in the game, but their fans' hopes were immediately crushed as North won back-to-back rounds to secure their first victory at the Major and send VP packing on a disappointing 0-3 record.
