BIG — чемпионы Gamers Without Borders 2021!
Ihor MatusGamers Without Borders 2021 has come to its logical conclusion. In the grand final, which undoubtedly became very interesting, the victory was won by BIG, who beat FURIA with a result of 2-1.
All of the map cards were very addictive and were at least 30 rounds long. On Mirage, FURIA Esports showed a mediocre defense and took 7 rounds for defense, but after the transition they were able to show how to attack correctly and took the remaining 9 rounds, and the meeting ended with a score of 16-14. Inferno started off well for BIG, who started on the defensive side. There the Germans managed to take 10 rounds, but after the transition of the sides, the teams played with the same result and they had to resort to additional rounds to determine the favorite of the tournament. As a result, in overtime FURIA took only 1 round and the meeting ended there with a score of 19-16 and the teams naturally switched to Vertigo. The third map was even longer than the first two. There FURIA started on the defensive side and took 9 rounds. What did BIG do? Right! - they also took 9 rounds for the defending side after the transition and the teams proceeded to the next additional rounds. The teams fought to the last and were rather tired, but BIG managed to emerge victorious in the second overtime and finish Vertigo with a 22-20 score in their favor.
BIG raised $ 600,000, which was sent of their choice to the International Medical Corps fund, which mousesports did earlier. FURIA Esports, in turn, which earned $ 300,000, sent funds to UNICEF in the same way as ENCE, MIBR and FaZe Clan.
