5star vs Rare Atom
The last game in Group A's first round saw Rare Atom take on 5star. On Dust2, 5star were pushed down to a 1-6 deficit off of L1hanNg's pop-off on the T-side but the Chinese side fumbled the advantage, letting 5star recover and restrict Rare Atom's lead to just a couple of rounds at 7-5. Rare Atom never really regained their momentum as 5star closed the map 13-11. The second map took us to Anubis where Rare Atom once again took a 7-5 lead in the first half but this time the Chinese side went ballistic in the second half, closing Anubis 13-6 off of a 6-1 CT-side.
Rare Atom levelled the series and pushed it into the decider- Inferno, where 5star fumbled a 6-1 start on the T-side and drew an even 6-6 first half. 5star sprinted to match point at 12-6 without dropping a single round in the second half, showcasing a solid CT-side but Rare Atom were not going down without a fight. Trash dropped consecutive multi-frag rounds as Rare Atom locked in six in a row to tie the game, nullify 5star's lead and push the game into overtime. ariucle and hoolig4n's 2v4 post-plant sealed the deal for 5star as the Mongolian side closed Inferno 16-13 and the series 2-1.
