mousesports decimate Renegades, qualify to Major
It was mousesports who kicked off the map, taking the pistol round and following it on with the two anti-ecos. They continued that on to the first buy round, as they kept on securing rounds as they went five without reply. Renegades managed to secure a round, but saw it instantly traded once again. One further round was taken by the Australian side, but mousesports instantly reset them once again.
From there the European side took round after round fairly comfortably. Miikka "suNny" Kemppi and youngster Robin "ropz" Kool both combined to top the tables for their side throughout the match, as they went six rounds without response. It was Karlo "USTILO" Pivac who secured three as Renegades picked up the final round at the half, but they still saw themselves down at a 12-3 deficit.
The second half kicked off with mousesports looking strong once again, as they took the pistol round and followed it up with the anti-eco. Renegades forced up to pick up a fourth round, but mousesports followed it straight away by taking match point and secured the game thanks to a suNny 3k to qualify with a 16-4 win.
