Mythic Cup 5 reaches semifinals

The first two rounds of Mythic Cup 5 played out yesterday, leaving only four teams standing by the end of it.

The Round of 16 proceeded much as would be expected, and relatively quickly, with only two series going to three maps.

The first of those was the match between LiViD and Advanced winners Recon 5, where the latter just managed to take their own pick of Mirage over the line before the French Canadians buckled down to take comfortable wins on Nuke and Inferno.

Three 2-0 scorelines in the quarterfinals belied how close the second round of play was, as LiViD took Singularity to overtime on both maps, and Rap Gang went into triple overtime with eUnited.
