Renegades best Luminosity in iBP opener
The opening best of one between Luminosity and Renegades would be decided on Cache. With a quick triple kill by Karlo "USTILO" Pivac, Renegades took the pistol round, and easily converted it into three. The first gun round also went the way of Renegades, putting the Australians in a good position for their T side. With big rounds from USTILO, Justin "jks" Savage, and Keith "NAF" Markovic, Renegades powered their way to a 7-0 lead.
Luminosity finally got a round on the board with Marcelo "chelo" Cespedes getting a quadruple kill on the B bombiste, but couldn't get anything else done and were reset by Noah "Nifty" Francis and his AWP. Renegades closed out the half with ease for a 14-1 lead.
The Brazilians gave the viewers some hope as they took the pistol round. Gabriel "NEKIZ" Schenato and Gustavo "yeL" Knittel then helped their team to secure the next two rounds as well. NEKIZ also gave an integral triple kill on the first gun round to keep his team in the game, and despite some good plays from Nifty, Vinicios "PKL" Coelho and his men slid up to seven rounds.
Renegades finally secured their 15th round with a big play from Aaron "AZR" Ward, and then closed out the map 16-8.
