Rare Atom hangs on against CYBERSHOKE
Rare Atom continued to gather as much match-time as they could under their belt as after the Halloween Cup 2024 participation, they were back in action in the Hellcase Cup 11. After going down to Spirit Academy in their Group B opening game, they saw off a spirited CYBERSHOKE challenge to keep themselves alive in the $45,000 online tournament.
The series got underway on CYBERSHOKE's pick of Mirage which was a back and forth affair that saw Rare Atom gain late momentum and picked up some crucial low buy rounds to take a 13-10 win with kaze having a strong map with 25 kills. On their own pick of Dust2, Rare Atom started with a 4-0 lead before CYBERSHOKE answered in style and went on to secure 13 rounds in a row to secure a comfortable 13-4 win with notineki closing things out on the B site with a 1v3.
The decider on Ancient was another close start which saw Rare Atom fight back after losing momentum in the middle of opening half to keep it at a tied half. It was the Chinese team who hit match point first but CYBERSHOKE pushed it to overtime where it was again a close affair with Rare Atom holding on for a 16-14 win to take the series 2-1 and keep themselves alive in the event.
The win keeps Rare Atom alive and will now face Spirit Academy in a rematch to keep their campaign going in the Hellcase Cup 11.
