The latest addition to the competitive map pool, Dust2 kicked things off with Marcos Gaming starting on T-side. After an early 0-3 disadvantage, Carnival Gaming’s Ember picked up the Five-Seven and racked up three crucial frags in mid to derail Marcos Gaming’s execute, stealing a partial buy round.
Marcos Gaming brushed the bruise off, rallying their way to a dominant 9-3 half. Marcos Gaming kept it clean and closed out the map 13-3, not dropping a single round in the second half with KarmaN leading the charge with 20 frags.
