CCL wins NESC 2024 CS2 Female

With only two teams in the NESC 2024 CS2 female category, we had Purr-ple taking on Couldn't Care Less (CCL) in the BO5 Grand Finals.

The action kicked off on Nuke with a tied half as Purr-ple was starting on the CT side and it was LuckyOwl and MIMI keeping Purr-ple in the game while PinkDrip^ was stepping in for Mikasa. After picking up the T-sided pistol, it was a flawless T-side as LuckyOwl and MIMI powered their team to a 13-6 win with Pikachu closing things out with a 1v2.

Anubis saw CCL get their T-side off to a big 8-4 start as Crackshot ended the opening half with 14 kills, making sure CCL weren't going 0-2 down. CCL dropped just two rounds on their CT half to clean up Purr-ple 13-6 as Crackshot and CaspeR topped the scoreboard with 18 and 17 kills respectively.

Mirage saw Purr-ple get their T side going with a 9-3 start as it was the duo of LuckyOwl and Pikachu once again providing the firepower. While they might not have started well, it was Sway leading from the front with Crackshot as CCL turned it around on their defensive half to steal away a 13-10 win to take the lead in the series.

The COCO show on CCL's CT-side on Vertigo saw them start the fourth map with an 8-4 lead. Purr-ple kept themselves alive with their CT-sided pistol and pulled it to a two-round game before CCL's T-side got going. CCL denied Purr-ple a comeback opportunity as a COCO 1v2 against an upgraded pistol buy saw them close it out at 13-10. It was all COCO on Vertigo as she dropped a 30 bomb in regulation to pull her side across the line and secure a 3-1 series win for CCL.

The win sees CCL become the Indian representatives at the South Asian Qualifiers and will now battle it out against other Asian teams to secure their spot in the final of the WEC 2024.
