The 3rd day was as exciting as the days before. Many Surprises, some teams stepped their game up, hard fought matches and unexpected wins. We saw almost every match and we enjoyed all the strats. It is very nice to see how the operator pickrate is no longer as predictable as it was in the seasons before. The Ying/Glaz META continues, but even this both operators have a pickrate about 50%. That means that there are some objective where the agressive Ying/Glaz push makes sense and other objectives where it dont makes sense at all. Long story short, lets start with the details of day 3!
Matches
The matches were played in a best of 3 maps. If one Team wins 2 maps in a row, the match is over and there is no need for a decider map!
Please Note that the stats dont say anything about the skill of each player. they fulfill a specific role. Some roles are designed to do more kills and some roles to support the top fraggers!
Team Liquid vs Mindfreak
** Mindfreak won this match 2:1 (5:2 on Chalet, 3:5 on Kafe, 6:4 on Consulate)**
Probably the biggest surprise of Day 3! Mindfreak blowed every expectation away. They showed, that you dont have to underestimate the APAC teams! They struggled a little bit on Kafe, but most of the rounds came to the last seconds.
