FURIA stay alive in Copenhagen
FURIA have pulled it all the way back after going down 0-2 on the first day of the Major. The Brazilian squad was forced into a tough position as they fell to Legacy and then Lynn Vision in the extended first day. Now thanks to BO3 victories over KOI and now ENCE, FURIA has forced themselves back into contention for the Elimination Stage.
The first obstacle was ENCE, who have already been handed two losses by fellow Brazilian squads Imperial and paiN. The match began on FURIA's pick of Mirage and got off to a hot start. FURIA quickly claimed a 5-1 lead, but ENCE began climbing back as they chipped away at the Brazilian's lead. FURIA ended up fighting tooth and nail to claim a 7-5 half.
Now on their CT-side, FURIA got a slow start as the Poles tied it up at eight, but FURIA pulled away and closed out the map 13-8.
Then on Ancient, FURIA once again got off to an incredibly hot start as they claimed the first five rounds. ENCE were stuck in the beginning, but found a way back into the game as they secured five rounds on their T-side. In the second half, FURIA found their rythym on their offense after securing the pistol and subsequent rounds. While both sides battled, it was FURIA to claim the map 13-9 and stay alive in Denmark.
