Grayhound qualify for IEM Chengdu

The Australian side cruised through the majority of the qualifier with ease.

Grayhound have secured a place at IEM Chengdu after taking down Mindfreak 2-0 in the Oceania closed qualifier, grabbing the sole spot for the event available to the region.

As the dominant side in Oceania it was no surprise Grayhound qualified for the event in China, but their qualification run began with a hard-fought battle against Bad News Kangaroos (formerly VERTEX).

After stealing each other's map picks the two sides scrapped out an overtime bout on Inferno, which Christopher "⁠dexter⁠" Nong and co. eventually clinched.

It was far easier sailing for Grayhound in their other two series, both coming against Mindfreak due to the double elimination format, as they limited their opponent to single digits on all four maps played.

Grayhound have been in solid form regionally since the return of dexter and the addition of Erdenetsogt "⁠erkaSt⁠" Gantulga as coach, winning 11 of the 12 matches they have played, with their one loss coming in a best-of-one against Bad News Kangaroos.
