Imperial send 9z to the ESL Pro League S18 last-chance bracket

In the South American derby of the lower grid of ESL Pro Legue Season 18, experienced Imperial easily handled 9z. The players of the Argentine organization tried unsuccessfully to come back on both maps after the devastating first halves. The first attempt started with a score of 5:15 and ended at 11:16, while the second map was live from 2:11 to 10:12.

The best player of the match was Ricardo "boltz" Prass, who received a score of 7.3 and inflicted 89 SS. His first duel score of 13:5 is impressive. Close to boltz with a rating of 6.7 was Joao "felps" Vasconcellos. The Brazilian rookie would have had a chance for a better rating if he had been more effective in the team's starting aggression.
