MIBR overrun Flash in Hong Kong
MIBR have assured themselves of a spot in the semi-finals of the ZOTAC Cup Masters after breezing past Flash on two quick maps.
The final match of a very long day in Hong Kong quickly turned into a bloodbath, with MIBR showing from the get-go that they wanted to wrap things up as quickly as possible. Inferno, the opening map of the series, began with a flying start from the Brazilian team, who cruised to an 8-1 lead with a very tight defence.
A 1v2 clutch from YuanZhang "Attacker" Sheng then brought that streak to an end, with Flash following that up with another round. MIBR refused to take their foot off the gas, however, and bagged eight rounds in a row to seal a convincing 16-3 victory.
Next up was Cache, Flash's map pick. Those expecting some kind of a response from the Chinese side were disappointed to see a repeat of the first map as MIBR surged to a 9-0 lead on the Terrorist side.
Flash then finally got on the board with a double AWP setup, but MIBR remained in control of proceedings and constantly turned around disadvantageous situations, with the half ending with a 14-1 scoreline.
More misery was to come for Flash, who were outclassed in the second half pistol, leaving them with no money in the bank to prevent MIBR from running away with the game and the series.
