Renegades beat their regional rivals once again

Hansel "⁠BnTeT⁠" Ferdinand's team clinched the following pistol round, though that time around it was Renegades who fought back with upgraded pistols in the second round of the half to gain a 10-9 lead.

Losing the next round, Noah "⁠Nifty⁠" Francis's side were low on money, but they clinched another round with a low buy and took control of the match, which saw them emerge victorious at 16-12.

Group D's side of things saw yet another blowout take place, as Gambit took hold of the elimination match against Space Soldiers on Train and never let go.

With everything working for the Kazakh-Russian team, including a 1v2 clutch from Mihail "⁠Dosia⁠" Stolyarov along the way, the Turks couldn't penetrate Gambit's defenses until it was 13-0, when they successfully faked the upper bombsite and finished things off on B.

However, it was all for naught. Dauren "⁠AdreN⁠" Kystaubayev's quad-kill in the last round of the half made it 14-1, and even though Space Soldiers grabbed the pistol, it was only a matter of time before Gambit found their way to the last two rounds for a 16-7 victory.
