Top 5 highlights from Day 3
All the teams and players gave their best to move forward in the competition, and fans witnessed several magical moments to enjoy. Here are some of the highlights from Day 3:
1) DRX Rb's 4K:
It was the eighth round on Icebox and DRX was on the attacking side. The Korean side hit the A-site to plant the Spike. Rb, as the Sage, pulled off an aggressive play and got a 4K to secure the round for his team.
2) yay Headhunter Clutch:
yay as Chamber has started being a nightmare for his opponents since recent matches. He delivered another incredible performance with Headhunter last night and forced the spectators and his teammates to jump from their seats.
3) yay's Marshal 4k:
Besides dominating with Chamber, yay was also outclassing his opponents with Jett. It was the 14th round on Ascent and OpTic Gaming was trailing by a round against KRU Esports. OpTic Gaming was on defense and forced to work with a half-buy. However, Yay showed up big with a Marshal and won the round for his team with a 4K.
4) Thrifty win for Zeta Division:
An important Thrifty win for Zeta Division in the 6th round on Fracture to get a two-round buffer was pure madness. The team play and utility usage, along with sheer aim, were key in that round for the Japanese side.
5) Laz's Ace on Icebox:
Zeta Division's Laz showed his pure mechanical skill in the 9th round on Icebox. Laz's team was down at the time with a 2-6 scoreline. His Ace boosted the confidence of Zeta Division and brought the team back into the game.
