Virtus.pro and ENTiTY through

Virtus.pro and ENTiTY have made it through the last group of day one at GameGune 2012. The Russians finished on top expectedly, just as every other top seeded team so far, while ENTiTY had to overcome Giants in their second attempt (16-13 on de_tuscan).

Virtus.pro justified their top seed in Group D by overcoming BTK-Gaming and Giants to finish in first place. The latter matchup however wasn't a walk in the park for the Russians as Giants put up more than a good fight, starting up with a 6-0 lead as T on de_inferno.

Virtus.pro responded in a manner that was expected of them and brought the deficit down to 9-6 at the end of the half. They continued with improved play in the second half and slowly but surely gained a lead and held on to it until the end for a 16-12 final score.

In the last match of Group D, ENTiTY and Giants repeated their controversial first round clash (16-13 for Giants on de_dust2), in which an accidental restart by an admin cost the Macedonians a sure round.

ENTiTY got their chance for revenge by overcoming BTK-Gaming and this time they selected a different map for the clash with the Spaniards, de_tuscan.

After a 4-4 start, Giants took off and won five in a row. Two rounds were then exchanged and the score stood at 10-5 at half time. A big task stood before the Macedonians if they wanted to go through, but round after round they slowly started getting back.

After a while, they found themselves 8-0 up in the second half and victory seemed within reach, but Giants still had some fight in them. They brought the deficit down to 13-12 and then 14-13, but ENTiTY secured the last couple of rounds and thus made it through to the playoffs thanks to a 16-13 victory.
