Enigma Gaming has been on a hot streak and hasn’t lost a match yet, on theà other hand, Orangutan with their young roster have been looking strong and won their debut LAN match and have good vibes all along.
The match started with a map veto with Orangutan banning Split, their perma-ban. Enigma Gaming banned Breeze which was a surprise, Orangutan picked Icebox their usual map pick and Enigma Gaming picked Ascent their comfort pick. The teams then banned each other’s stronger maps to eventually play Haven.
Enigma played the normal no duelist double sentinel-initiator setup with Viper, Sova, Kay/O, Chamber and Sage and Orangutan chose to play with Jett, Viper, Sova, Killjoy and Sage.
The game started with Orangutan on attack winning the pistol round and the follow-up and on the back of clutches from Excali, Rexy and Rawfiul, Enigma managed to string together rounds, But Tesseract and Vibhor ensured they don’t run away with the half and fought back eventually tieing the half 6-6
The second half started with Enigma winning the pistol and follow-up on attack, Orangutan fought back, and the game went on with clutches after clutches with Enigma reaching on 11 first while Orangutan was still on 9.
Vibhor then won a round using just a Bulldog switching the momentum which helped them to reach 12 first but Rawfiul managed to hold on to the last round closing the regulation 12-12 In the Overtime though, Orangutan managed to maintain the momentum they had and won the map 14-12.
Ascent saw a mirror line-up from both the sides with Sova, Killjoy, Omen, Jett and Kay/O. The map started with Orangutan winning the Pistol with ease but had to rely on Persia’s clutch to win the second round. With better economy Enigma started running away with the half, but Tesseract with his Ult won a Thrifty which stopped the bleeding helping Orangutan Win the half 7-5.
On defense, Though Enigma Gaming set up a strong fortress and it was hard for Orangutan to break through allowing Enigma to reach match point while Orangutan was on 8. But Orangutan started finding gaps in Enigma’s defense and won 3 rounds in a row to push the map to the final round. But Enigma Gaming managed to hold off the attack from Orangutan to win the game 13-11 forcing a third map.
