ESL Challenger League Season 51 Asia-Pacific Cup 1 Day 4: Recap
The fourth day at the ESL Challenger League Season 51 Asia-Pacific Cup 1 saw two upper bracket semi-finals and two lower bracket elimination games take place. While the likes of Last Bullet and Morningstar had a good outing, it was the end of the road for Legion and the only Indian team, Arise.
If you missed the fourth day's action, here's a quick recap.
Upper Bracket
The first upper bracket semi-final was the all-Chinese clash between Morningstar and BORING PLAYERS. Dust2 kicked off the series, with little to nothing to separate either team. It was Morningstar holding on for a 13-11 win to draw first blood and on their own pick of Inferno, Morningstar steamrolled their countrymen, locking in a big 13-3 win to wrap up the series 2-0.
Chinggis Warriors had forfeited the opening map due to technical difficulties but they hit the ground running instantly on their pick of Nuke, picking up a 13-4 win thanks to tikuak's 24 kill, 2.12 rating show. On the decider on Ancient, it was a tied opening half, but the Mongolian team went missing on their CT side as Last Bullet put up a flawless seven round T side to pick up a 13-6 win to take the series 2-1.

Lower Bracket
Arise went up against Monoglian squad The QUBE in their lower bracket round 3 game and after getting blown away on Ancient, it was a marathon encounter on Mirage as Bhavi's boys dug deep to keep the fight going. After pushing it to five overtimes, Arise couldn't keep the fight going as The QUBE held on for a 28-26 win to wrap up the series 2-0 and send Arise home.
Legion were battling it out for survival in the lower bracket and they were up against Chinese squad Change The Game. 957 and ProKiller stepped up for Change The Game to see them steal Legion's pick at 13-9. On Anubis, the Pakistani team kicked things off with the CT pistol and conversions but late activation from Change The Game on their T side saw them tie up the opening half and they fought back to secure a 13-11 win to wrap up the series 2-0.
