EG and MIBR to go head to head
With the second day of CSGO action completed, we have five teams now eliminated from the BLAST.tv Paris Major North American Closed Qualifier while two have already gone through. Complexity and paiN are setting their sights towards Mexico while the rest of the pack must duke it out tomorrow for a shot at the RMR.
In tomorrow's matchups, we have a titanic battle between Evil Geniuses and MIBR, the #2 and #4 seeded teams in this closed qualifier. MIBR are licking their wounds after an intense BO3 battle against Complexity, which saw the Americans win for the first time against them after besting them twice in IEM Brazil qualifiers. Evil Geniuses are reeling from a first-round upset against yur, but have confidently dispatched their opponents en-route to this qualifier.
The aforementioned yur has continued to impress and will be playing against the Edgar "MarKE" Maldonado Nouns team that also suffered a difficult first-round upset at the hands of Detonate. yur, which is a newly formed team from the ashes of the recently created Demon Time has had to cope with a departing IGL, but that has not stopped the upstart roster of ECL caliber players. They will certainly prove spoiler as they hope to make it to Monterrey as well.
Finally, the once again aforementioned Detonate will get their shot at a chance to play in Mexico as they take on timbermen. Detonate, which were a lowly 2-5 in ECL last season, have seemed to storm to the top of the hype train as they are being lauded for the excellent play in recent time. They have certainly turned a number of heads as they can tout victories over Nouns and ATK on their list of accomplishments this week and look to finish it off with one more over timbermen.
Action continues tomorrow at 02:00PM where the Dust2.us crew will continue streaming on Twitch.
