RRQ started Icebox by winning the first three rounds of the map. While GenG bounced back once they figured out the RRQ defenses. The first half ended in an even 6-6 score.
Icebox was a very close map with both teams barely managing any lead. T3xture had an impressive showing on Icebox with a 377 ACS score and a 1.54 rating. With 33 kills on the map, he was a key factor for GenG’s performance on the defense.
With this victory, GenG had a one-map lead in the series. Icebox was RRQ’s map of choice and the second map - Split - was GenG’s map of choice.
On Split, RRQ had a better start, winning the first three rounds. They had an incredible performance on the defense to bring on a big lead. On the second half, GenG almost managed to secure a successful comeback. They won the first seven rounds in the second half to bring the score to 9-10. However, RRQ managed to clinch the map to take the series to Map 3.
The third map saw GenG march ahead to a 8-4 lead in the first half. They even won the second pistol round further extending their first-half lead. While RRQ managed to secure three rounds, it wasn't enough. GenG won the series 2-1 and are now one series victory away from the playoffs.
GenG now secured itself a sizeable lead in the group stage. With a double-elimination format, GenG requires just one more victory (against PRX) to secure a spot in the playoffs. Meanwhile, RRQ will face off against the loser of PRX and GenG in the final elimination match.
