Today in the last chance bracket, the Brazilian organization 9z knocked out the North American organization M80 from EPL Season 18!

How did the match go?

To be honest, the teams played evenly, but just the Brazilians were luckier in this series and outplayed their opponents with a score of 2:0.

The first map of the confrontation was Nuke (9z team’s pick). The fight on the map went up to the 30th round, but still, 9z proved to be stronger and won with a score of 16:14.

The second map of this battle was Inferno (M80 team’s pick). The second map was just as sweaty, but here too, 9z claimed victory with a score of 16:13.

The award for the best player of the match rightfully goes to 9z team’s rifler David "dav1deuS" Tapia Maldonado, as his average rating over two maps was 7.4!

What's next?

The M80 team took the last place in the championship, 29-32 place, and earned $4,000!

But the 9z team moves further along the last chance bracket and will play against the loser of the Fnatic/Apeks pair tomorrow at 20:30 Kyiv time!
