HellRaisers win ESWC qualifier

HellRaisers won the Ukrainian/Russian ESWC qualifier after beating ASUS CyberZone 3-2 in the grand final (11-16 on de_cache, 13-16 on de_nuke, 16-7 on de_overpass and 22-20 on de_mirage).

Organised by Starladder, the ESWC qualifier featured three Russian and five Ukrainian teams, who played from the Kiev Cybersport Arena and the Moscow Cyber Stadium, respectively.

The tournament usd a double-elimination, best-of-three, format, with the winner of the Upper Bracket getting a one-map advantage going into the best-of-five grand final.

As expected, the two favourites, HellRaisers and dAT Team (who attended this event as ASUS CyberZone) reached the Upper Bracket final, which was a one-sided affair as Yegor "⁠markeloff⁠" Markelov's side picked up a 2-0 victory while losing just 14 rounds in the process.

The grand final also pitted these two teams against one another, but this time around the match was far more interesting: ASUS CyberZone took a 2-1 lead after picking up a 16-11 victory on de_cache and a 16-13 win on de_nuke.

HellRaisers suddenly found themselves on the brink of elimination, but they kept their cool and eventually ran out 3-2 winners following a 16-7 victory on de_overpass and a dramatic 22-20 success on de_mirage.
