The second day of eXTREMESLAND CS:GO Asia 2019 saw the remaining 12 teams battle it out for the last 4 playoffs tickets. While Tyloo, MVP PK, BOOT, ViCi Gaming were comfortably on top, the elimination match and the decider matches were fierce.
Entity Gaming Eased Past Revolution
Losing the first match against Bren on Train, Entity Gaming played with their back against the wall, facing the Vietnamese representative in the elimination match. The match kicked off on Mirage – GTV.Revolution’s map pick. Tight defense from Entity Gaming secured the first half for the boys, winning 12 rounds. A stellar performance from Debanjan ‘DeathMakeR‘ Das closed out the map at 16-7 as the rifler boasted a staggering 2.20 rating.
The second map panned out in the same fashion with Simar ‘Psy’ Sethi showing the same performance.
Rematch against Bren in a close affair
After eliminating GTV.Revolution, Entity went on to have a rematch against Bren. This time, it is a Bo3 to determine who would go on. Nuke went the way of Bren as the Filipinos had a strong T-side and a decent CT-side to close the map at 16-10.
Mirage was a much closer affair as both teams had a better T-side. Ending the first half, Entity Gaming led with 11-4 as T side. However, it took the full 30 rounds for the blue jersey squad to close out the map. The scoreline was a tight 16-14 for Entity Gaming.
The last map was Train – the map which Entity lost pretty single-sided earlier. Bren carried on their strong T-side to lead the first half and closed the second half at 16-11.
With that, Bren went on to face BOOT in the playoffs. Entity Gaming has to settle for a consolation prize of $1,000. In an international event of this scale, it is a decent start for the squad as they managed to put up a good fight.
