Winstrike beat Runtime; AVANGAR defeat pro100 at CIS Minor

Both opening games of Group B were played on Dust2 and both were one-sided affairs as Winstrike beat Runtime 16-6 and AVANGAR took down pro100 16-5.

A quick 4-0 lead for Winstrike off the back of the pistol round put pressure on the veteran side of Runtime. Kirill "⁠Boombl4⁠" Mikhailov and Aurimas "⁠Kvik⁠" Kvakšys were leading the charge on the Terrorist side of Dust2, and with Dmitry "⁠hooch⁠" Bogdanov and co. winning only one round and instantly getting returned on, Runtime found themselves in a tough spot in the first half.

Runtime were close to adding their second to the board as they found themselves in a 3v2, but David "⁠n0rb3r7⁠" Danielyan's timely flank saved his team (8-1). Nikolaj "⁠kalinka⁠" Rysakov did manage a 3K with the AWP in the following round, locking down B, but Winstrike once again hit back, reset their opponents, and ran up a 12-3 lead before the end of the first half.

Kvik was on point in the game against Runtime

After a pistol round loss, Runtime bounced back thanks to Alexander "⁠scoobyxie⁠" Marynych's triple with a force-bought AK-47 and managed to secure six rounds with that bit of momentum (13-6), but then we saw Kvik step up and secure multikills in three rounds, back-to-back, pushing his team to a comfortable 16-6 victory.

Following Timur "⁠buster⁠" Tulepov's triple in the pistol, AVANGAR took control of proceedings on Dust2, dominating pro100 straight from the start. Dmytro "⁠def⁠" Lemeshchuk and Leonard "⁠kenzor⁠" Volodarchuk went big, securing doubles each, to get their team their first round, but a quick reset by the hands of the Kazakhstani team put them in a tough spot on the CT side (10-1).

Before the end of the half, pro100 mustered a total of three round, with Mareks "⁠YEKINDAR⁠" Gaļinskis's work in the pistol giving his side a lifeline. However, Aleksei "⁠Qikert⁠" Golubev's lockdown of B in the first buy put a stop to any chances of a comeback quickly (14-5). From there, it was straightforward for Dzhami "⁠Jame⁠" Ali and co, who closed out their first game 16-5.
