ARCTIC almost too cold for paiN
The first Brazilian on Brazilian came with the up and coming paiN facing the relatively unknown ARCTIC.
The paiN squad was on an absolute tear just before the player break, after some roster changes. This time, after one month of practice, it is expected that the team qualifies for the major or falls very short.
ARCTIC is coming from Brazil's national competitions, as this roster has no international experience. The hope for the young Brazilian squad is to surprise some teams and show good promise, as reaching the Rio major seems like a dream.
The map bans decided that Nuke was going to be the venue for the BR on BR battle, with paiN starting on the CT-side.
paiN started out winning the pistol and the following two before ARCTIC made their first. The economy war lasted all half and, between clutches and stomp rounds, the game quickly went to half time with paiN winning 9-6.
The second half started with paiN taking another pistol round and surviving the force buys and eco rounds from ARCTIC. With the score 12-6, paiN was able to win the first gun round of the half. After that, ARCTIC got two rounds, and paiN reached 15. ARCTIC then started coming back, putting five together before the favorites closed the game 16-13.
Romeu "zevy" Rocco, one of paiN's newest additions, was the most impactful player of the game, with 26 kills and 84.3 ADR. On the ARCTIC's side, Paulo "short" Ballardini had an amazing performance as he top fragged for his team.
