ESL Challenger League Season 50 NA Cup #3: Day 6 Recap
SkinRave and Marsborne are through the upper bracket final of ESL Challenger League Season 50 North America Cup #3, after beating Getting Info and Wildcard, respectively, on the sixth day of the cup.
Meanwhile, True Synergy and Phoenix have been knocked out by regain and BOSS, respectively. Read a summarized recap of all these matches below.
Marsborne 2-0 Wildcard 
This series could have been a three-mapper, but Marsborne showed immense resilience to claw back from an 8-4 disadvantage on Train. They played even better than Wildcard on the CT-side, and secured the victory on their map pick. The action moved to Mirage, and Marsborne won the final round of regulation to avoid what would be a heartbreaking overtime, as they won the first half by 9-3.
Adam "WolfY" Andersson looked particularly inspired last night, taking advantage of a rare weak performance from Wildcard's AWPer Love "phzy" Smidebrant.

SkinRave 2-1 Getting Info
Getting Info had a promising start to the series as they took Ancient by 13-11, but SkinRave tied the series after Dust2, powered by Paytyn "junior" Johnson and Matthew "Cryptic" Whitmore (21 frags each).
SkinRave were battering Getting Info on Overpass with a CT-side masterclass when Deni "dea" Ediev disconnected at 11-0. Technical issues prevented him from coming back, and Getting Info ended up forfeiting the map.

regain 2-0 True Synergy
On the lower bracket, regain breeze past True Synergy to stay alive in the cup. They played much better, and it reflected on the scoreboard, as all of their players finished with a positive K/D.

BOSS 2-1 Phoenix
BOSS, on the other hand, had to reverse-sweep Phoenix to stay alive in the cup. A great T-side half on Ancient paved the way for them to tie the series, and a perfect CT-side on the second half of Inferno (8-0) ensured they play the next round of the lower bracket.
This, perhaps, wouldn't have been possible if Keller "SLIGHT" Nilan didn't show up massively like he did, swinging important rounds in favor of BOSS.
