eUnited came close on Inferno twice in Rio

eUnited eliminated from DreamHack Open Rio

Two great performances on Inferno by vanity were ultimately in vain.

eUnited have been eliminated from contention at DreamHack Open Rio after losses to AVANGAR and FURIA in the group stage.

In the opening match of the event against the Kazakhs, eUnited quickly found themselves on the backfoot after losing the opening pistol and the ensuing three rounds. They managed to recover, however, and even briefly led before the half ended 8-7 in the favor of AVANGAR.

The match would continue in close fashion to an eventual three overtimes, in which Alexey "qikert" Golubev was able to drag his team across the finish line, despite the best efforts of Anthony "vanity" Malaspina.

The loss set up eUnited for a match against familiar foes FURIA, who lost their opener to INTZ. The series opened with another map of Inferno, which again saw vanity and eUnited just barely come up short.

Despite their strong Inferno performances, Nuke was a different story for the North American squad, as they were only able to muster seven rounds on their CT-side. When the teams swapped sides, FURIA powered their way to the map and series win nearly flawlessly.
