The defeat of Astralis, the victories of Vitality and Heroic - remember the second day of ESL Pro League Season 14

The second game day within ESL Pro League Season 14 has come to an end, which means that it is time to sum up the results of the three fights that took place. We saw not only the victories of the two favorites, but also a largely unexpected defeat for Astralis. But first things first.

The first players to enter the server were Vitality and Bad News Bears. Obviously, the intrigue in this match was dead even before the start of the first round. The Inferno map began according to the plan of the French team, which quickly seized the initiative; and even the difficulties in the end of the first half did not prevent ZywOo and the company from making a shock start in the attack, having recorded the final score - 16: 9. The beginning of the second map has already passed under the dictation of the North American team. But how good the Bad News Bears' defense was, the team looked so toothless in the attack, which predetermined the outcome of Overpass - 16: 9.

In the next fight we were in for a sensation, as the Danes from Astralis were not as good as the day before. And if the failure on Ancient can still be attributed to poor preparation, then the terrible defense on Nuke is a pure individual failure of each player. Despite the crushing defeat, the Danish squad included Lucky, who was good on two maps and tried to pull Astralis. But it didn't work out - the natural victory of ENCE with a score of 2: 0.

In the evening, a bright sign awaited us - Heroic versus Spirit. But there was no struggle in the performance of the Russian team from the word "absolutely", since the Danes looked two heads stronger in every single moment. The final score is 2: 0 in favor of Heroic, as a clear reflection of Spirit's lack of assembly.
