AVANGAR have done the impossible. With all the odds stacked against them, AVANGAR has gone on to beat Vitality in a hard-fought best-of-three.





Jame Time For AVANGAR



The Kazakh team followed in the footsteps of Renegades as they beat their French opposition on their own map, Mirage, by a score of ‘16-9’. It was in the second half that the fate of the game was decided, as AVNAGAR playing T-side went on an eight-match streak to seal the deal and struck victory on the very first map, putting a lot of pressure on Vitality.

The final game on Dust 2 was a complete shutdown of the French squad as AVANGAR ensured themselves a massive lead in the first half and backed it up well by snatching rounds every now and then in the following half. Vitality did show signs of a comeback, but it was indeed ‘Jame Time’ as he repeatedly shut them down in crucial moments to take his side into the semifinals.
