Big teams in 2-0
No big surprises in the 2-0 teams in RMR Europe A. The highlight goes to Ilya "m0NESY" Osipov's performance against Eternal Fire in the second game of the day.
The match was decided in overtime, but the Turks had the opportunity to close the match. A super m0NESY didn't let them.
m0NESY's statistics in the match:
- 36K-13D
- 1.86 rating
- 111.7 ADR
Natus Vincere and Virtus.pro meet tomorrow at 2-0, after quiet games on Day 1. FaZe Clan started the day by beating 9Pandas. Finn "karrigan" Andersen's team beat the Falcons with the right to the clutch of the Danish IGL by FaZe in the last round.
RMR Europe A: NIP and ITB 0-2
Ninjas in Pajamas and Into The Breach are in the danger zone in RMR Europe A. Both teams cannot lose any more in the competition.
ITB even reached the playoffs of the last CS:GO Major and at RMR they are unrecognizable. Since then, the team has undergone several changes to the squad. Cai "CYPHER" Watson and Sebastian "volt" Maloș left the team after the team's good participation in the Major.
The British organization suffered two tough defeats, G2 (13-3) and BetBoom (13-1).
On the other hand, NIP is still far from returning to its top days in the Counter-Strike scene. The recent changes were showcased in a mini-documentary by the organization. As covered in the documentary, the organization's goal is to be "top competing" and a willingness to sign superstars as happened in the past with Nicolai "device" Reedtz and Ludwig "Brollan" Brolin.
However, the present is not favorable for NIP. Two defeats to Eternal Fire and AMKAL leave no room for the team to make any more mistakes in RMR.
The Portuguese from SAW and the French from 3DMAX are also 0-2 in RMR Europe A. At 3DMAX, the first map against Falcons still predicted a better performance for the team.
With an advantage, the French still had 8-5 on Nuke after a clutch from Ali "hadji" Haïnouss. However, the inefficient T-side allowed the Falcons to score the win.
