s1ren fires BetBoom into Stage 2 with win over Wildcard
It's not been a good day for NA fans, they've watched their teams lose three games on day three of the BLAST.tv Austin Major.
The latest of those teams was Wildcard, who were taken down by BetBoom in one of the closest 2-0s you'll ever see.
It took an overtime on both maps to decide it, so let's see how the action played out.
BetBoom clinch Nuke after double OT
A game requiring double OT to be decided might suggest that it was close the entire way through, but that couldn't be further from the truth.
10-2 up at the half thanks to a solid CT side, it didn't take long for BetBoom to be at match point with the score 12-4.
However, Wildcard weren't feeling like being embarrassed, they bounced back and completed an incredible comeback to take us to OT.
Boombl4 quickly put a stop to their momentum, though. His 200IQ play helped secure him the 1v2 clutch in the first round of OT.
And he wasn't the only one clutching up in OT, phzy forced a second with a 1v2 of his own.
19-17 when it was all said and done, the two Swedes of Wildcard combined for 56 kills, but it was the 30 from S1ren and 27 from Boombl4 that managed to edge the game in BetBoom's favour.
BetBoom take OT again on Anubis
Anubis was far closer, both regulation halves ended with a 6-6 scoreline.
This time, however, it was Wildcard that had match point, but S1ren was on hand to clutch up the 1v2 and take us back to OT.
Thankfully though, at least for our hearts, it only took a single OT for the game to be decided this time around.
JBa top fragged the server this time around, his 25 kills was two more than magnojez, who led the way for BetBoom as they wrapped up the series 16-14.
