Virtus.Pro reach EPICENTER 2017 grand finals after this epic win
The series of victories of the Virtus.Pro Polish team continues to astonish everyone in the events of the EPICENTER 2017 which is close to reach the finals.
Virtus.pro makes it to the final at EPICENTER 2017 where they will face SK after winning two maps, Cache and Inferno, in the three map series against G2.
The second semifinal of EPICENTER started on Cache, with Virtus.pro on the terrorist taking the first pistol round to kick the series off. In a rare occurrence, G2 didn’t force on the second round, and went into the first gun round with a full buy. Defending A from the Virtus.pro push, G2 got on the board. The French were unable to follow it up, though, allowing Virtus.pro to keep the lead. G2 didn’t give up, though, as they won a pistol buy round with a saved AWP and a saved M4 defending A from the Polish offensive.
A quad-kill by Paweł “byali” Bieliński on A in the twenty third round gave the 15-8 lead and ruining G2’s economy and putting his team on the verge of the map win, and although G2 were able to win a force to get their ninth, a level headed play by Wiktor “TaZ”Wojtas late in the following round killing two on the B site gave his team the victory in the first round.
G2 came out swinging on Virtus.pro’s pick, Nuke, winning the first five rounds on the defending side without skipping a beat. The Poles got on the board in the seventh round
G2 got onto match point, 15-12, but were denied the victory by byali and TaZ as the former got a triple on A which TaZ finished off with the last frag and defused the bomb to keep the map going.The match made it all the way to the last round as Virtus.pro were able to bring it all the way to 15-14, but a forcebuy by G2 was enough as the French team as they took the B site and defended it to take it to a third map.
The last map, inferno, started out going the way of Virtus.pro as the Poles won the pistol round on the CT side with an ironclad A site defense. Down 0-3, G2 played a really late B execute which they were able to win after defending the plant. The French team wasn’t able to replicate the play the following round, though, as Virtus.pro stopped them on their way to B resetting G2’s economy and taking the 4-1 lead.
Having gotten their economy stable, G2 started to win rounds in an attempt at a comeback, getting their tenth round when trailing 9-13 and forcing Virtus.pro on a forcebuy, but were unable to win it as Virtus.pro got an early frag and with two saved AKs wore G2 down until they could plant and defend the 2vs1 against NBK-. G2 had a big advantage to reset Virtus.pro in a 5vs3, but doubles by Janusz “Snax” Pogorzelski and byali gave their team the map point, which they won the following round for a spot in the final.
