FURIA get 2-1 win over B8 to advance to Stage 3

It's been a fantastic day for fans of Brazilian CS, FURIA have joined paiN in advancing to stage 3 after a win over B8.

A 2-1 victory for the Brazilians, they'll now have a couple of days to prepare for the third Stage and look towards the playoffs.

Let's take a look at the action.

B8 kick off the series with dominant Mirage showing

B8 have put in some strong performances so far in Austin, and those performances continued with a dominant performance on Mirage.

Kicking it off with a 9-3 T side performance, every member of their team went positive as they left the Brazilians feeling entirely shellshocked.

B8 then wrapped up the map with ease in the second half, esenthial topfragged with 16 kills across the 16 rounds played.

FURIA bounce back on Train

From one dominant map win to another, FURIA got back into the series in a big way on map two.

Played on Train, the Brazilians weren't quite so dominant on their T half, but 10 kills from YEKINDAR were enough to give them a 7-5 lead.

The Latvian kept going with another 10 kills in the CT side, too, FURIA wrapped up the game by winning six out of seven second half rounds to win 13-6 and take us to map three.

FURIA advance thanks to win on Dust2

FURIA's momentum carried into Dust2, they picked up eight of the first nine rounds after a solid start to their CT side.

They slipped slightly after that run, seemingly allowing B8 back into the game with three consecutive round losses, but FURIA still looked good as they headed into their CT side with an 8-4 lead.

B8 looked even more likely to get back into the map as they won the second half pistol round, but a force-buy from FURIA quickly put those hopes to bed.

13-7 when it was all said and done, YEKINDAR topped the server again with another 20 kills added to his tally for the series.
