Core Defeats 3D, Moves On To Second Straight NA Final

Posted by: MarkDolven

The Carolina Core became the first team in the history of CGS to qualify for two straight North American Championships when they defeated the New York 3D last night. After losing five straight matches to even make the playoffs, the Core had nothing to lose against the #1 seed in the league. Carolina played their best game of the season as they went on to demoralize 3D by winning all five individual games. The night started off when General E cruised to a victory in Forza after Phantom cleared the way and gave him an eternity. Things continued in the most important match of the night DOA Female where Mystik had the biggest win of her career as she defeated Coolsvilla 5-0. With all the momentum in the Core's favor, they just ran away with it. Anomaly defeated Wizakor for the fourth straight time and Offbeat Ninja continued his return to the top with a 5-1 victory over Cheppelle. With the game all but over, the Counter-Strike team only had to win a few round to secure the victory, but not only did they do that, but they won the match as well. It came down to the last round where Devour won an insane 1v2 clutch with the bomb planted to win the match 10-8. With the big Semi-Finals victory, the Core will now move on to play the Dallas Venom who earned their ticket to the finals by defeating the San Francisco Optx in a huge comeback win. Both teams earned World Finals spots with their wins, but more the North American Final will come first and this will take place on Monday.
