Results of the first gaming day of VCT 2021: EMEA Stage 2 Challengers Finals
/The first game day of VCT 2021: EMEA Stage 2 Challengers Finals has come to an end. As part of the game day, two meetings of Group A took place, which divided the quartet's teams into two grids.
In the opening meeting, FunPlus Phoenix practically did not notice Gambit, having won the fight with a score of 2: 0. On the Icebox map, it all started with the incredible superiority of the Russian team. However, Gambit, having won the first half with a huge backlog, was unable to see it through to the end, having given a comeback. Split started out more equal, but after the side change, FunPlus Phoenix took over the advantage that allowed the team to win their pick, and with it the whole streak.
In the second match BBL and Liquid met. It seemed that the "liquid" ones would not experience problems with the Turkish team. However, on Haven, BBL made it clear that it was too early to write them off, showing incredible defensive play. Nevertheless, Liquid found the strength to pull together and get back into the game. Already at Ascent, the stars of the team woke up, demonstrating a confident attack, bringing the streak to the third map. However, there was no fight as such on Bind, since Liquid, having kicked off for the attack, was able to prevent a comeback and brought the matter to a victorious end.
