paiN get stopped
While on their bootcamp in Serbia, paiN have decided to take some time by playing in Brazy Party, a new event hosted by Relog this weekend. The event serves as a good warmup for the Brazilian squad as they look to continue their good domestic form into international success. To open up the tournament, they were pitted against Into the Breach, the UK team that has shocked everyone by earning a direct entrance to the Legends stage of the Major.
paiN got things started on ITB's pick of Vertigo, where the Brazilians would not let them get any headway. Like the British on American soil in 1776, they were easily repelled as the Brazilians dominated on their CT-side by winning eight consecutive rounds after going down 0-3. When the halves switched, ITB was the team in charge as they were able to hold of paiN, but not for too long as they eventually would lose their map pick 10-16.
The Brazilians had all the momentum in the world as they were set to begin on their map pick of Anubis, but would not be able to capitalize on it. A back and forth first half T-side settled the emotions out of paiN as they were hoping to gain a clear advantage on what is a very T-sided map. Into the Breach held staunch in their defense and would then come crashing out of the gate in their T-side, en route to a 16-10 victory to tie it all up.
Finally, the two sides would go compete on Mirage to decide who would start off their group with a strong victory. Into the Breach were first to the punch as they would win the pistol and then widen the gap as they took a commanding 7-2 lead. The lead would slightly decline as paiN came back and would only lose their T-side 6-9. While paiN having their work cut out for them, they struggled to get back into the game, but would eventually tie it up at 13-13 before they would lose their momentum and lose out 16-13, 2-1.
paiN are now 0-1 in their group and will look to play the loser of 00 Nation v. BIG.
