FURIA bounce back
After a rough showing against the Spaniards yesterday, FURIA bounced back with a strong statement win against Grayhound to cement themselves in the running for ESL Pro League. The dominant 2-0 victory was once again headlined by Kaike "KSCERATO" Cerato's dominance on the server with Marcelo "chelo" Cespedes putting in a respectable shift.
The match started on Grayhound's Ancient, where FURIA looked like a completely different team than yesterday. Their dominant T-side propelled the team to success. A first round pistol win didn't guarantee them immediate success as the Australians and Brazilians battled it out until the seventh round where FURIA firmly took control of the half to win it 12-3. From there, it was just an easy clean up as a little back and forth on the CT-side secured them the 16-6 map win.
With FURIA looking like they were well on their way to victory after the first map, they would continue that momentum as they landed on their own pick of Vertigo. The Brazilians, once more, were dominant on their first-half T-side as they raced ahead to a 7-1 lead before closing the half 10-5. The second half would go even smoother as they dominated on their defense and took home a clean 16-8 win to secure the 2-0 victory.
