Fragadelphia 13 Online heads into the endgame
In anticipation of Fragadelphia 13 next month, Fragadelphia 13 Online is well underway. The tournament boasting $2,000 in travel assistance to the winner has seen 16 teams go head-to-head over the past week in a series of online best-of-threes.
After handily besting Main AWP 2-0 on Inferno and Nuke, Bushido Boyz pressed on through the lower bracket to play the winner of InFinity vs. J Money Team.
J Money Team started off strong, rocking InFinty 16-2 on Dust II. However, they couldn't carry the same momentum over into the next map, and InFinity squeezed out a 19-16 victory on Mirage. With the series tied at 1-1, Inferno was left to decide who would be moving on. In the end, InFinity reigned victorious 16-9, and they advanced to face Bushido Boyz.
Now it was time for InFinity to face shogun Jonah "JonahP" Pulice and his men. The first map saw Bushido Boyz bringing honor to their name with a 19-17 victory on Inferno, showing InFinity they would have to fight harder than they did previously if they wanted to see the upper bracket again. Unfortunately, InFinity didn't have enough gas in the tank to beat the North American samurai, falling 16-13 on Nuke.
This leaves only New Identity, ATK, and Bushido Boyz left standing. After dropping to the loser's bracket following a loss to New Identity, ATK are set to play Bushido Boyz tomorrow. The winner will face off against New Identity in the finals on Thursday. The final will be a best-of-five, with New Identity having a one map advantage. The remaining matches are shown below, but full online bracket can be seen here.
