Revel Denver mix and Rectify qualify for Mythic Summer Cup 1
The qualifier for Mythic Summer Cup 1 played out last night, ultimately seeing Revel Denver and Advanced Rectify qualify to the main event, where they will be joined by six Premier teams.
The event was Mythic's first to utilize a double-elimination format, which was fortunate for Big Chillin, as they suffered a narrow 16-14 loss to Revel Denver in the second round. In the same round, Erik "fl0m" Flom's "Paying Myself" mix, which also featured Ian "motm" Hardy, lost out to YeniCherry 16-11.
In round three of the upper bracket, Rectify defeated Revel Denver 16-9 on Dust2, meanwhile the Secret Club and Recon 5 mash-up of VonMoonsKittens received a forfeit win over YeniCherry, who had to play their lower bracket ESEA Advanced playoff match against Infinity, which they would go on to lose 2-1.
The Premier mix would then go on to handily defeat Rectify 2-0 in the upper bracket final, with the Advanced side not reaching double-digits on either map. However, due to Recon 5 being invited to the main event, they were not eligible to proceed.
Big Chillin valiantly made their way through the lower bracket until they ran into Revel Denver again, and while the map played was Inferno as opposed to Overpass, the end result was the same, a 16-8 loss for the former Premier team.
The final standings for the qualifier are as follows:
1. VonMoonsKittens (SATURN, SLIGHT, consti, Ryze, jeorgesnorts)
2. Revel Denver (Jachro, NoVa, tactile, shepherd, x0tek) - Qualified
