In our 2nd best of three of Friday night, we saw the Danish giants Dignitas take on the Brazilians of Tempo Storm. In the first game, we saw a very consistent game across the board via both teams with only one time a team failed to pick up two in the row which was tempo. On the Tempo Storm side, we saw very consistent fragging across the board with SHOWTIME picking up the potential slack that could be left behind based off previous games. With the game ending 9-6 in the first half, we felt that Dignitas had a better tactical input compared to Tempo Storm who we noticed was taking more of the aim dual approach in comparison to Dignitas! Meanwhile with this approach going on, the game ended out reaching a 16-12 score line in favour of the Brazilians!
The next game was played out on Cobblestone, a competitive map between the two teams. One of the key things about this matchup was how the star players of both teams were very quiet with both Hen1 and k0nfig having their off games of the tournament. Starting off strong, we saw Dignitas on the T Side battle their way to 7 T rounds. Eventually, we saw them take to push through the struggle they had in the first map and win 16-12 on cobble!
The last and deciding map is cache and wasn’t this a quality matchup! Starting off on the T Side we saw Dignitas beat up Tempo Storm and leave them with only 5 rounds on the Counter Terrorist side! With the Brazilians being unable in the past to close out games, we saw a completely different side to that team and they grinded out round by round to end out the game and the series 16-14 here on cache to move out of groups!
