HEROIC had little trouble dispatching of NRG, giving the hometown underdogs no opportunity to convert from their surprise win over TYLOO in their opener.
That was in large part thanks to Yasin "xfl0ud" Koç, who picked up an ace while leading a dominant CT effort (19-6 K-D, 130.0 ADR) before Andrey "tN1R" Tatarinovich came alive after the swap to close things out, 13-5.
Excellent Pit anchoring, proactive pushes into A Halls, and a 1v2 clutch by Dmytro "esenthial" Tsvir allowed B8 to romp to a similarly dominant 11-3 lead on Inferno, but Nico "nicoodoz" Tamjidi stayed his team's execution with a FAMAS quad-kill to turn OG's second forcebuy.
The overwhelming deficit proved too much to overcome, however, with B8 eventually converting the victory with pistols, 13-9, to reach the 2-0 advancement pool.
BetBoom were unable to halt a red-hot showing out of Corey "nettik" Browne and repeatedly squandered man advantages across both halves of Mirage, which FlyQuest capitalized upon for an 8-4 lead and wasted little time in closing in the second half.
Lynn Vision will lament letting a 5-1 lead on Nuke slip to Wildcard after squandering an anti-forcebuy on round seven, which Peter "stanislaw" Jarguz's side used to pry their way back into the map.
An ace from Tim "susp" Ångström in a 2v5 added further misery to the Chinese team's fortunes as Wildcard went on a 9-1 spree to take the lead, and an absurd Deagle quad-kill from Josh "JBa" Barutt helped his side stay ahead just when Lynn Vision had tied the game at 10-10.
They recovered in the ensuing round but couldn't convert two map points, at 12-11 and 15-14, with three multi-kills from JBa allowing his side to close out in double overtime.
