Rogue win Copenhagen Games [B tournament]
After falling to Tricked 2-0 in the main tournament, Rogue elected to attempt and salvage their European excursion via the event's B tournament.
In the quarterfinals, Spencer "Hiko" Martin's men were given a scare by Endpoint, but ultimately were able to emerge victorious with a 2-1 score line after demolishing their UK opposition on the second and third maps. Rogue next took down one of the surprise Danish packages of the tournament, the aptly named Great Danes, in 2-0 fashion.
This set up the North American squad for a tilt against anothe UK side, in the form of Vexed. Rogue again allowed their opponents to get the upper hand, as Vexed took Inferno to the tune of 16-9.
With their backs against the wall, it was Hunter "SicK" Mims who took up the heavy lifting for Rogue on Mirage, with the EPL side narrowly able to come out on top 16-14.
With the momentum now decidedly in their favor, Rogue were able to steamroll over Vexed on Train, with veteran Hiko and newcomer Anthony "gMd" Guimond making the largest contributions.
