ESL Pro League Season 20 continues to surprise with its results in the matches, today Brazilian team Imperial defeated one of the strongest European teams, MOUZ, in a series of two maps. They became the second Brazilian team in the playoffs of the tournament, previously MIBR made the playoffs.
Intense fight on the maps Dust2 and Inferno
The match started with intense play on Dust2. MOUZ started off strongly, winning the first half 7:5. However, Imperial, playing for CT, were able to seize the initiative and, despite failing to finish at match point, won 16-14 in extra time.
At Inferno, the situation was the same. Imperial showed great play for CT, keeping control of the game, ending the first half with the same score of 7-5. However, MOUZ were able to level the game and even went to match point. However, the performance of Ludvig “Brollan” Brolin played against their success. The Swedish player failed to make a single kill in the first half and finished the map with only six frags, which affected his 3.4 rating, seriously weakening the team. In the end, extra time was once again decisive and the Brazilians prevailed 16-13.
Conclusion
Imperial's win over MOUZ not only put them into the playoffs, but also secured Brazil an extra spot in the ESL Pro League Season 20 title fight. Their next test - fnatic or M80 - will determine if they can continue their triumphant march and reach the quarterfinals.
