Citadel Gaming surprise everyone
The next day of Marvel Rivals Ignite Mid Season Finals has ended
Today's game day brought many surprises and bright moments. We witnessed an unexpected victory of Citadel Gaming, a tense confrontation between OUG and REJECT, as well as confident performances by ENVY and 100 Thieves.
The main sensation of the day was the victory of Citadel Gaming over Sentinels with a score of 3:2. It is especially surprising that Sentinels, considered the strongest team in North America, left the tournament earlier than all other American teams, taking 7-8 place and receiving $25,000. Earlier, they suffered a crushing defeat from Rad EU with a score of 0-3.
No less exciting was the game between OUG and REJECT, which ended with a score of 3:2 in favor of OUG. REJECT, who occupied the first place in the Asian region, could not demonstrate the full strength of their game and also stopped at 7-8 place. OUG now remain the only Chinese team continuing to fight for the championship title.
In the second half of the day, the audience saw more predictable results. ENVY confidently defeated Rad EU with a score of 3-1, although the European team put up a decent resistance. Rad EU still have a chance for success, but now they face a difficult path through the lower bracket.
The game day ended with a crushing match in which 100 Thieves left no chance for Ground Zero Gaming - 3:0. This victory further strengthened the status of 100 Thieves as the main contenders for the championship. Their upcoming meeting with ENVY in the upper bracket final now arouses special interest.
