Dignitas fe and CLG Red through to DreamHack Showdown playoffs
The second day of DreamHack Showdown has come to and end, seeing two North American teams reach the playoffs, and one be sent home.
The day started off with plucky mix FOREVER 21 taking on Chinese team 7PM fe. Much like yesterday it was Klaudia "klaudia" Beczkiewicz and stand-in Benita "bENITA" Novshadian doing the heavy lifting for the team, as they breezed past their opposition on two quick maps.
Next up was Dignitas fe taking on Copenhagen Flames fe, and this too was a simple affair for the squad hailing from North America, Kiara "milk" Makua and Amanda "rain" Smith teaming up to not allow the European team to reach double-digits.
The final match of the day was between CLG Red and FOREVER 21, and regretably the latter team were never able to get into the game, being dealt a swift defeat at the hands of Catherine "CAth" Leroux and CLG Red. FOREVER 21's second loss to CLG Red at the event saw them exit the tournament in 5-6th place.
The full playoff bracket will play out tomorrow, according to the following schedule:
Besiktas | vs. | Dignitas fe | 5:00 AM EDT |
Demise fe | vs. | CLG Red | 8:00 AM EDT |
TBA | vs. | TBA | 11:00 AM EDT |
All four remaining teams are on the hunt for the event's $50,000 first place prize, as well as a berth at DreamHack Open Rotterdam later this year.
