GamerLegion win dead team derby against Liquid in Belgrade

Liquid are now just one loss away from elimination at FISSURE Playground 2.

GamerLegion have beaten Liquid in the FISSURE Playground 2 group stage to even out their record, 1-1, sending Russel "⁠Twistzz⁠" Van Dulken and company down to the 0-2 pool.

An hour before the match was set to start, GamerLegion announced that this tournament would be Jeremy "⁠Kursy⁠" Gast's last with the big green, and then announced that Milan "⁠hypex⁠" Polowiec will take over at ESL Pro League.

The French AWPer, who had struggled in his two months on GamerLegion, popped off, dominating on Dust2 with a 107 ADR and +15.77% swing, which added up to his highest rating since joining the team, a 2.14, as he and his team flew to a 13-1 victory.

Unlike GamerLegion, who were glowing from their dead team buff, Liquid were completely the opposite, as Twistzz's departure announcement seems to have brought with it the opposite effect on his team, who were at a loss throughout the series.

On Inferno, GamerLegion started just as strong on the attack, winning a second-round forcebuy before coasting to a 10-2 half. Liquid made a cosmetic comeback, but it was never going to turn into more than that as it was only a matter of time before GL's high morale would lift them to victory, 13-6.

Now in the 1-1 pool, GamerLegion will have even more pressure lifted during Kursy's swan song event with the team, while Liquid will have to dig deep to get themselves out of this 0-2 hole following a loss to FURIA and today's match.
