DreamHack Open March 2021 South AmericaSharks, Imperial through to DH Open March SA upper bracket final
9z and Liberty will fight for their tournament lives in an elimination match on Friday.
Sharks and Imperial are through to DreamHack Open March South America upper bracket final following victories over 9z and Liberty, respectively. The two Brazilian teams will face off Thursday for a spot in the grand final of the $30,000 tournament.
Sharks, who were coming off a defeat to Paquetá in the grand final of the WESG Brazil Finals, were in control for the majority of the series and didn't let their opponents hit double-digits on either map. Raphael "exit" Lacerda was in fine form throughout the series, with Romeu "zevy" Rocco, who took the AWP from Jhonatan "jnt" Silva following his addition to the team, leading the charge on Mirage.
Liberty took the lead in the series with an Overpass victory following a great display on the CT side, where Alexandre "ALLE" Santos shined with a 2.17 rating. Gustavo "SHOOWTiME" Gonçalves and Arthur "f4stzin" Schmitt came to Imperial's rescue on Nuke in a back-and-forth affair, with the team completing the reverse sweep on Dust2 after shutting out the Liberty offence once again.
