Monte defeated ENCE
In the first round, Monte faced off against ENCE. The Ukrainian team received a lot of attention, as they have been performing very strongly in online tournaments and have become one of the best on the tier-2 scene in less than six months. And the increased attention proved to be justified - Monte showed their best side.
The Ukrainian team not only won the first half - they didn't give ENCE a chance. 12:3 is a score that is almost impossible to come back from. Monte demonstrated a very high level, even in clutch situations.
ENCE tried to make a comeback after the devastating first half, but they only managed to win 11 rounds. The final score was 16:11, and Monte moves on to the 1-0 bracket.
