BBD. Bell Biv DeVoe? No, BetBoom Dacha - but it’s still our Poison.

Season 2 saw us jump straight into action with no groups and playoffs but just straight-up bracket-only action. Simple to understand, simple to write about.

In the upper bracket of the tournament, it’s been 2-0’s all around. MOUZ dismissed Eternal Fire pretty quickly and FURIA and Spirit sent VP and Falcons to the lower bracket in a similar fashion.

The only team to put up a real fight was paiN, who managed to take Heroic down in three maps only to then lose to the reigning champions - MOUZ - in again three maps.

The other “upper bracket semi-final” (does the word semi-final even carry any meaning in that case?) saw donk doing what donk does best: donking his way to a 1.99 rating inonly 31 rounds. If donk’s doing that, can you really blame FURIA?

Heroic continued their post-break run of uninspiring form by biffing their second chance in the lower bracket against Eternal Fire. XANTARES showed us donk may be good, but he’s also still relevant with a 1.34 rating. That’s just okay compared to 1.99.

Things went a bit better for Virtus.pro and Falcons, who delivered a full Bo3 with SunPayus absolutely fighting to make Falcons relevant – to no avail.

To sum up:

This sets up FURIA vs. Eternal Fire and paiN vs Virtus.pro in the lower bracket, now fighting for survival.

In the upper bracket, MOUZ and Spirit butt heads in the final-that-isn’t-really-the-real-final-yet for a spot in the actual final and a second chance in the lower bracket’s consolidation final.

Did you catch all of that?
