- G2 Esports vs Paper Rex (0-2): Split (10-13) and Bind (7-13)
Best moments from Day 9
Here are some staggering moments from last night's VCT Stage 1 Masters Reykjavik matches:
1) Zeta's team game to tie up the score
It was the 22nd round of the Icebox, and Zeta equaled the scores by winning the round. The Japanese side's team game trapped DRX in the middle, and Zeta perfectly utilized the opportunity to secure a flawless round and set the stage for a perfect win.
2) Mako's 3K with quick reflex
DRX's Mako shocked everyone again with his quick 3K with insane reflex. The Korean's crosshair placement was truly magical, which helped him eliminate three in a split second. He ended the round with a 4K and secured another round for his team.
3) Lazvell's Pistol round clutch
After dominating the first half on Split, Zeta Division needed just three more rounds to win the map and the series. Luckily, Lazvell's Pistol round clutch to start the second half made it faster for the Japanese side.
4) Forsaken's insane play
Paper Rex made an excellent comeback from a 9-3 deficit to secure the map on Split. Forsaken had a crucial role in his team's response last night.
It was the 17th round, and G2 Esports was on the attack. The EMEA side used Breach's ultimate to take control of the side. However, Forsaken somehow managed to connect a Sheriff headshot between them and brought some time for his side.
He quickly made it two with another insane Operator shot and helped his team win the round.
5) Jinggg's 4K
While Forsaken was delivering madness in the server last night, Jinggg decided to support him with everything he could. His 4K in the 4th round of Bind was an example of perfect game sense, utility usage, and mechanical skills.
