eUnited overcome by the Spirit
eUnited's run at the ESEA MDL Season 27 Global Challenge has come to and end at the hands of the Russian/Ukrainian squad of Spirit.
Things started off on Dust2, and despite taking the pistol and a 5-1 lead for the North Americans, the first half somehow ended being all Spirit. eUnited were similarly unable to muster a consistent offense on the Terrorist-side, and Spirit took the map 16-10.
Sadly for eUnited, things transpired much the same on Cache. Despite leaping out to an 8-1 lead on the Counter-Terrorist side of Cache, the half would eventually end 10-5. After sides switched, Spirit proved to have eUnited's number on their own CT-side, completely stymying any attempts at offense made by the North Americans. The map would end 16-12 in favor of the CIS side, seeing them claim the series as well.

With the result, eUnited have finished in 3/4th at the event, and will head home $5,000 richer — but more importantly with an ESL Pro League spot. Up next for the team will be the ESL One Cologne Closed Qualifier, which will commence on May 24th.
