Live recaps

Come back to this section after the VCT EMEA: Stage 2 matches between Team Liquid and BBL Esports to see some of the best moments.

Map 1: Ascent

Ascent didn't start well for BBL with a five-round loss. However, after a time out, their confidence rose from the shadows to a completely BBL performance. LêwN was outstanding this match, landing insane shots. The whole team was way better in general, especially in the decision-making field. Even with BBL coming back with a better mentality, Team Liquid's defense was out of this world. nAts Cypher's setup was too hard to disrupt.

Map 2: Sunset

BBL came into the second map with a completely different attitude, looking nothing like the team from the first. Their confidence filled the arena, while Team Liquid appeared slightly off its game. Despite having a great start, Team Liquid was not going to make this easy for them. Their defense was just incredibly organized. The game was way too close for both teams. It was one of those matches where everyone was hyped.

Map 3: Bind

If you are not hyped after these two maps, you need to hype yourself up. The match on Bind promises to be amazing.
