Virtus.pro edge OpTic for NY semis

Virtus.pro survive a narrow 16-14 Cobblestone encounter with OpTic and become the last team in ESL One New York semi-finals.

Virtus.pro and OpTic vetoed their way to Cobblestone, where the former picked up an early 4-1 lead on the offence. Despite being on an eco, OpTic managed to turn the tide by rushing middle and coming out on top of a big fight, eventually equalizing the score at 4-4.

In the next several rounds, OpTic had to save weapons over and over to no avail, but the weapons they snatched away in an eco round at 8-4 allowed them to start racking up rounds. Keith "⁠NAF⁠" Markovic and Tarik "⁠tarik⁠" Celik put in 10 kills over the next three rounds, helping OpTic reach seven at halftime.

Virtus.pro barely survived the OpTic encounter

Defending an A split, Virtus.pro took control of the first three rounds of the second half with some help from Jarosław "⁠pashaBiceps⁠" Jarząbkowski who saved a scary anti-eco situation in the process.

The first two gunrounds were traded, but OpTic got a hold of the economy after grabbing the next one, as Virtus.pro had to go on a double eco and the North American squad clawed back to 11-12.

After the next two rounds were traded again, Wiktor "⁠TaZ⁠" Wojtas's team had to opt for two more ecos and OpTic grabbed their first lead in the match at 14-13. Virtus.pro finally put their foot down, defending B comfortably three rounds in a row for a narrow 16-14 victory.
