B8 demonstrated their strategic prowess on Mirage by picking the map, winning it with a score of 16:12. They continued their dominant performance on the Ancient map chosen by Passion UA, winning with a score of 13:5. The teams did not move on to Anubis, the deciding map, due to B8's early victory.
The MVP of the match, headtr1ck, played a crucial role in the success of B8, demonstrating outstanding skills that tipped the scales in their favor. After the match, Passion UA player jackasmo shared his thoughts:
Still, while emotions are taking over, I just can't play against Ukrainian teams as well as against European teams, I've already faced this problem and even then I tried to somehow abstract, today I did my best but it didn't help(( I hope it's purely due to age and inexperience, but don't be upset, it happens. B8 good luck in the next stages
Looking ahead, B8 will face BLEED in their next match. Recently, BLEED won the Thunderpick World Championship 2024 EU Closed Qualifier 1, setting the stage for an exciting confrontation in the next stages of the RES Regional Series 2.
