3DMAX outplay HEROIC and take a step towards Stage 2 of ESL Pro League S22
The French team 3DMAX defeated HEROIC 2:0 at ESL Pro League S22, confidently winning Dust2 (13:8) and Inferno (13:9). This victory brings them closer to advancing to the second stage of the tournament, while HEROIC are now one step away from elimination.
Dust2 (8:13 3DMAX)
Dust2 ended successfully for the French side. In the first half, 3DMAX showed solid defense and closed it out 7:5 in their favor. In the second half, HEROIC started with a pistol round win followed by two gun rounds, but those were the last rounds they managed to secure on this map. 3DMAX displayed an aggressive T side and, with a streak of six straight rounds, sealed the map 13:8.
Inferno (13:9 3DMAX)
On their own pick, the French squad stuck to their aggressive attacking style, though it wasn’t a one-sided affair. HEROIC managed to claim five rounds in the first half. Switching to defense, HEROIC evened the score at 9:9. However, 3DMAX proved stronger on their CT side, stringing together four rounds in a row to close out the map 13:9.
