Aurora drops the ball against Apeks

After starting with big wins in their opening games, we had Apeks taking on Aurora in the Group A winners' match at the ESL Challenger Melbourne 2024.

Aurora got the final BO1 of the day underway with the CT-sided pistol on Overpass. CacaNito's quad-kill saw Apeks answer back with the force before Aurora made sure the force-buy wars continued. The Russian team built on that force to take a big lead at 9-3, putting up a strong defensive half. with Norwi ending the opening half with 16 kills and an ADR of 140.

Apeks started with the second half pistol and went on an incredible nine-round streak to get to match-point first before Aurora got their first T round. While Aurora threatened to take us to overtime, Apeks hung on for a 13-11 win.
