GR stomp IHC to make semis
Group A's upper bracket final at the MESA Asia Series saw GR take on IHC in a bo1 on Ancient. Starting on the CT-side, GR got off to a 6-0 start, stopping the IHC in their tracks. Despite IHC's damage control towards the end, GR took a massive 9-3 half in their favor.
A good start on the CT-side was IHC's only chance to initiate any sort of comeback but GR's T-side was too hard to contain for IHC, as the latter could secure just a single round in the second half. IHC closed out Ancient 13-4, winning group A's bracket.
Everyone from GR had their moments in terms of impact but weqt2 stood out with a 2.08 HLTV rating performance, dropping 20 frags at an ADR of 127. Both GR and IHC have qualified for the playoffs with GR advancing to the semi-final and IHC advancing to the quarter-final.
