The match started on Mirage, with Entity standing strong on the defence, shutting down Revolution’s attempt to take over the A site. Entity then rushed to a 6-0 lead, thanks to their dominance at Mid, continuously preventing Revolution from taking control of the area along with good individual plays defending the A site, which forced Revolution to take a Tactical Timeout.
The timeout did not seem to have an affect on Entity’s steamroller, with another mid control attempt foiled by the Indian stack. A 3k from Skillz and another shutdown at mid later and Entity raced to a 9-0 lead, showing ominous signs of the match being a one-sided affair. Benny though, had something to say about it, converting a 1v2 afterplant situation with a Mac 10 at A site to put Revolution on the board on Mirage. At 11-2, Rambutan came up big with a 3k to lodge Revolution’s 3rd round for the half, which ended 11-4.
Revolution survived the afterplant in the reverse pistol round and Rambutan followed it up with two 3ks to reduce the deficit to 7 rounds. Entity though, executed a perfect A split at 13-7 to come within 2 rounds of closing the map.
DEATHMAKER ensured Entity reached map point the very next round with a 3k in a B take and another push toward the B site in the following round saw Entity win Revolution’s map pick Mirage with a scoreline of 16-7.
Entity continued to exert their dominance on the server on Overpass. Starting on the T side, Entity raced to a 4-0 lead before Revolution returned fire with 3 rounds of their own. But, Entity were looking to ensure the match doesn’t go the distance as their T side onslaught resumed, with the Indian stack closing out the half 10-5. Entity won the ensuing pistol as well and the following round to race to a 12-5 lead. Revolution showed signs of life with a couple of rounds. But, Entity were resolute in their defence and mirrored the Mirage scoreline, closing out Overpass 16-7.
Entity came out with a similar level of aggression compared to yesterday, only with better co-ordination and backed by more individual confidence against GTV.Revolution.
One of the most bizarre things about Mirage was that both teams had a greater success rate attacking the B site. Revolution though, hardly ever chose to go that route, focusing on A without much success.
The result eliminates GTV.Revolution while Entity now set up their grudge match with Bren Esports in the Group D decider.
