Firedup head to finals over aQuA Gaming at TEC Arena Connect Kochi

As the N0yAn and ReApErMonsta shook hands on the stage, the battleground was set on Ancient. Bo1 to decide who faces RETALIATION in the finals. And kicking us off was the pistol round where Firedup Burst into the B site to take the win. The first gun round immediately had the AWP out for 5m0Ke, and the N0yAn-mr.x rifle duo immediately took the round win. Back to back gun rounds for aQuA gave them the economic control as they raked up a 5-2 lead.Finally as AG were looking settled, Firedup took a clean victory on B and brought out a surprising double AWP on the T side.

Back level at 5-5 as both teams wrestle for control. 8hp and a defuse kit is all N0yAn needed to steal a lost round right form under Firedup's nose. Still aQuA's economy was broken and ReApErMonsta's crew managed to secure the half win with 8 on the T side. Everytime AG managed to get a kill, Firedup were right there to trade it into a win.
A 9-6 lead in the half and milliseconds between ReApErMonsta and a successful defuse as time decided the end of round 16. True to his name 0wned threw down a molotov to deny the defuse and secure the equalizer for his team. But back to back impact rounds gave Firedup a path back into the match. And they took that chance and ran with it, extending all the way to a 12-9 lead as aQuA looked out of sorts.

When rifles don't work out, bring out the trusted Tec-9s. And that's what 0wned did to take down 3 in the post plant on B. ReApErMonsta's confidence was unstoppable as he pushed down A early in the round to secure 13. Everything was going Firedup's way as n1kace somehow took two blind kills to open round 24, but finally mr.x stepped up with his AWP to take their 11th. Bizarrely Firedup took two eco rounds, allowing aQuA Gaming to take 12 but longbarrel apparently didn't get the memo as he snatched the round away from AG with a brilliant 4k. That was the straw that broke the camel's back as Firedup ran all the way to a 16th to take the map win 16-13.
