Map 1: Ancient (Pick: RDX, Winner: IKARI, Final Score: 16:13)
IKARI started off Ancient on the right foot as they settled into Game 1 with a comfortable 5-0 lead over RDX before MaChOleleR opened up the B-site for business and won the first one for RDX. A couple of rounds were seen to be traded back and forth as RDX showed resilience after coming back from 0-5 to end the first half 8-7 in their favor. Every player of RDX indeed had their own fair share in tipping the scales as Logan, ZEROkNg98, and L0sttt_ rose to prominence during the latter stages.
Coming from the break, Team IKARI were able to get off the pistol round after Langoti clutched it with a brilliant 2K post plant. IKARI and RDX traded off rounds back and forth with RDX taking the lead on their defense, 13-12 as the scoreline suggested. But it took IKARI’s _SamX_ just one clutch to cripple the reinforcements set up by the CTs which not only won them the 27th round but helped them win Ancient 16-13 as RDX seemed destitute and listless post _SamX_’s 1v4 post-plant clutch.
Map 2: Anubis (Pick: IKARI, Winner: RDX, Final Score: 16:13 )
No team really took off on Anubis with RDX trying to dominate over their opponents after winning straight 4 rounds but failed as IKARI managed to play the trade game which saw both the sides settle out on a 7-8 scoreline in the first half. WolFy alongside Pee3eky of IKARI were able to secure the pistol round after picking out RDX from the A-site.
Pee3eky who sniped 3 enemies from breaking in onto the B bombsite extended the lead further for IKARI, promising them a commanding position with 12 rounds on the board and not conceding a single round across the second half. RDX answered back with ZEROkNg98 picking up a quadra-kill in the 22nd round to help his team square out the deficit. RDX were successfully able to charter their comeback on Anubis as they started to pull out tricks off their hats in annihilating the reinforcements set up by the CTs.
Map 3: Mirage (Mirage was left over in Veto, Winner: IKARI, Final Score: 19-16 )
IKARI comfortably got off to a 4-1 lead with _SamX_ and and Langoti locking out the Ts from the bombsites. The most beautiful part about Mirage is how the Terrorists can plan out their utilities, which indeed helped both sides to trade rounds back and forth after 2 gruesome games on Ancient and Anubis. Aggressive plays from RDX helped them get early picks on Logan and company although their proceedings were never hurt by the same as they managed to get the first half to their names, thanks to TORREZ who picked up a 3K on B before sticking the bomb down for some extra cash.
RDX claimed yet another pistol round on their defense which allowed them to rack up a lump sum amount of rounds till match point which was marred by the duo of _SamX_ and olegaming who left no stone unturned in forcing overtime upon RDX. Despite some serious efforts put in by RDX, it was IKARI who triumphed as they picked up the series against the former, 2-1.
