StarSeries day two comes to a close; NRG and Renegades notch wins
The second day of StarSeries i-League Season 6 has wrapped up, with Renegades' new lineup finding a win, taking down compLexity with ease on Mirage. Similarly, NRG crushed North's new lineup on Inferno.
In the 0-1 pool, compLexity were matched up against the new roster of Renegades, who had recently gone 6-0 in the first week of EPL, two of which were wins against compLexity. Renegades kicked off Mirage by taking the first five rounds, with compLexity responding with three rounds of their own. Both teams continued to trade rounds, with Renegades taking two rounds each time, with Renegades ultimately coming out on top at halftime 9-6.
Taking two rounds off the bat, compLexity nearly tied up the map before Renegades pulled out a perfect round, taking their score into the double-digits 10-8. The Australians converted their round win for three more rounds with compLexity finding one lone round in a B retake. The North Americans were unable to convert that round however, with Renegades resuming their streak to take the map 16-9.
