EnVyUs repeat their Group A opening match performance against CLG by defeating the American team in the Group A decider match 2-1 (11-16 on de_overpass, 16-4 on de_cache, and 16-4 on de_cbble).

The Group A decider match, which was merely for seeding purposes in the quarter-finals and thus not an elimination series, saw EnVyUs face-up against CLG yet again, with the two teams having met in the opener game that saw the Frenchmen scrape by with a 2-1 score.

The first map of de_overpass yet again went the way of CLG, as it had in the opening match, as Stephen "⁠reltuC⁠" Cutler and his men had both a strong defensive set-up that enabled them to get a 9-6 first half and an equally strong T-side that gave the team the map with a 16-11 score.

EnVyUs have been slow to wake on the first day of Game Show

However, EnVyUs' comeback was even more swift the second time around as the French team took down CLG with 16-4 scores on both de_cache and de_cbble. On both maps, CLG generally appeared lacklustre and without direction and Josh "⁠jdm64⁠" Marzano, who has generally been consistent against European teams on international events, struggled to show up.

As a result, EnVyUs are through as a higher seed in the quarter-finals and they will take on the lower seed team from the Group B decider match on Saturday while CLG will play the higher seed team.
