mousesports move on at APM Finals

mousesports have booked their spot in the Upper Bracket final of the Acer Predator Masters Season 2 Finals after beating E-frag 2-0 (16-5 on de_cache and 16-13 on de_cobblestone).

Cache was the first map of the series, and it began with mousesports getting off to a blazing start by winning the first eight rounds of the game. E-frag then finally managed to put their foot down to hold back the German team and put together a small run of rounds to reduce the deficit to 4-8. However, mousesports did not let the Bulgarians go any further and claimed the final three rounds, the last of which thanks to four kills from Nikola "⁠NiKo⁠" Kovač in quick succession.

In the second half, mousesports picked up where they had left off and won the first four rounds on the Terrorist side to take their lead to 15-4. E-frag still managed to pick up a round, but their dream of pulling off a massive comeback was shattered by a 1vs3 clutch from Timo "⁠Spiidi⁠" Richter.

Cobblestone began with E-frag winning the pistol round and the corresponding anti-ecos to start off the game with a 3-0 lead. The following four rounds then went mousesports' way, but Simeon "⁠dream3r⁠" Ganev made sure to halt the Germans' momentum with a quad kill inside B. Still, mousesports remained in the driving seat and won the next seven rounds to close out the half with a commanding 11-4 lead.

Now playing on the CT side, E-frag won a much-needed pistol round and followed it up with the two anti-ecos and the first gun round. However, they were taken by surprise by a Tec9 push from mousesports, who grew their lead by winning the following gun round. A successful CZ hold inside the B site still gave E-frag a lifeline, but mousesports kept pushing hard and eventually got their 16th round on the board.
