VCT Champions: Viking and Gambit push their way to the front of Group C

Crazy Racoon and Team Secret bring up the rear of the group.

Day two ended with two more groups completing their group opening matches. For Group C, it was the matches between Team Viking and Crazy Racoon, as well as Gambit Esports and Team Secret. The two matches are part of the four matches that were played yesterday, and part of the bank of initial games of VCT Champions Berlin.

Team Vikings vs Crazy Raccoon

The match between the two teams begins with Icebox, where Team Vikings were flexing their muscles as they started their Champions journey. They faced the sole Japanese representative Crazy Racoon, where both teams were playing head-to-head up to the end of the first half. In the second half, however, Vikings got the upper hand and managed to win a few more times than the Japanese team, giving them the win at round 22.

In Haven, it was essentially a carbon copy run of the first map as the two teams again played evenly in the first half, with Vikings getting the upper hand in the second half. This time, however, the game ended in round 21 as the Brazilian team grabbed the win then.

vs Team Secret

The winners of Masters Berlin went against the team that was robbed of their chance to play at Masters Reykjavik - Team Secret - due to visa problems. While the team name has changed, but the spirit of the ex-Bren Esports roster was still raring to go as the two teams begin their Champions trek. On the first map Icebox, Team Secret showed their prowess as they won it against Gambit with ease.

On the second map, Breeze, however, Team Gambit gave Team Secret a bloody nose as they wiped the floor of the Southeast Asian team without giving the opponents a chance to pick up a single win.  On Bind, the third map, Team Secret gave a valiant effort in the first half, but Gambit was too strong and grabbed the points to win the map.

Gambit Esports won 2-1 against Team Secret.
