Imperial can't survive another OT thriller
It's just a day of up-and-down emotions as Imperial goes from the highest of highs upon beating ENCE in a triple overtime thriller, to falling to Heroic in an overtime loss. The Brazilians will join their countrymen paiN in the 1-1 bracket as they look to rebound tomorrow and get one step closer to the Elimination stage.
Imperial found themselves on Mirage for their second game of the day, facing a stronger Heroic side who were coming off of a tough win against TheMongolz. Starting on the T-side, Imperial struggled to find their rhythm while attacking as they only had four bomb plants the entire half as they claimed also only four rounds while conceding eight.
The second half seemed to go more in the way of the Brazilians as they found their groove while on the defense. Heroic struggled to break through and never found a strong economy for themselves as Imperial started climbing their way back. Soon enough it was all tied up at 9-9 and Imperial had the entire momentum of the game behind them. The Brazilians even got the 10-9 lead before Heroic got back on the board taking back the lead 11-10. Still, Imperial held strong on the defense and got one chance to close the map but Heroic sent the game to overtime.
Imperial had played overtime earlier today against ENCE and that experience could be crucial to calm their nerves as they find themselves back in the same situation. Starting on the CT-side, the Brazilians got a 14-13 lead which quickly turned into a 15-14 deficit and a 16-14 loss.
