DreamHack Masters Spring 2021: Team Fiend was the first to leave the championship
Ihor MatusThe first unpleasant news came from the fields of DreamHack events. Team Fiend left the ranks of the participants. The team took 13-16 place in the tournament and received a reward of $ 4,000.
The battle of teams began on Mirage. Fiend showed excellent attacking play and took 10 rounds in the first half. After the transition, they showed good defensive actions and, having lost 9 rounds in total to their opponents, took the first card. After moving to Overpass, Fiend came close to winning. Having played in a draw with the Spirit team, they moved to the overtime section, where they could not take the required number of rounds. The fight ended 19-17 and Fiend was forced to play on the third map. On Nuke, their performance was really bad, since 3 rounds in defense and 3 in attack is not enough for the team to win. Perhaps v1c7oR and his teammates were too tired, but now he has a great opportunity to relax and watch the rest of the events of the ongoing tournament as a spectator.
Team Spirit advanced to the next round, where they will compete with the losing participant of the NAVI vs Virtus.pro meeting. The latter, by the way, have already begun their duel.
We remind you that six teams will advance to the playoffs. Only three teams from each group will be able to get into the final part. The teams that showed the best result in their eight will start their way right away from the semi-finals, while the rosters that took 2-3 places in the groups will go to the quarterfinals.
