NA> EU: Sentinels and Version1 advanced to the semifinals

The second game day of VCT 2021: Stage 2 Masters - Reykjavík has come to an end. In the two final meetings, Sentinels and Version1 defeated Fnatic and Team Liquid, thus making their way to the semifinals of the championship. At the same time, the European teams fell into the second round of the lower bracket.

The first players to enter the server were Version1 and Team Liquid. The match itself began at Split, where everything was in favor of the “liquid” ones. However, after the switch-over, Version1 was able to win a streak of seven rounds in a row, leading to overtime. However, here the North American team lacked the slightest, giving the victory to Team Liquid - 14:16. Ascent is another matter, where Version1 still managed to score enough rounds to ensure the victory at the opponent's pick - 13:11. On the decisive map of Haven, we did not see any struggle at all, since the North American team both seized the initiative and did not give it up, having recorded the victory with a score of 13: 4.

The main sign of the game day was a little more lively. Already at Icebox, the teams showed that they are not going to give up. However, the confident start of the second half performed by the Sentinels guaranteed the team a victory at the opponent's pick - 13:11. The North American squad continued their foray into Haven, winning eight rounds before switching sides. However, in the second half, Fnatic began to approach, which greatly alarmed the opponent. Nevertheless, the series of exchanges turned out to be a plus for the Sentinels, who secured a 13:10 win.
