ESL Challenger League Season 50 NA Cup #4: Day 7 Recap
The seventh day of ESL Challenger League Season 50 North America Cup #4 saw Marsborne and BOSS advance to the lower bracket final over Mythic and LAG, respectively.
While BOSS didn't have to play to advance, after LAG once again forfeited the match because they couldn't field an eligible lineup, Marsborne had to work hard to beat Mythic.
Mythic were rock solid on Nuke, their map pick, and won the game by 13-9 as the ever-vintage Josh "PwnAlone" Pigue had a massive performance, dropping 24 kills and a +7.02% Round Swing.
But Marsborne picked up the pieces and comfortably won on Inferno (13-5) and Overpass (13-7) as they had dominant T-sides on both maps. With the reverse-sweep, Marsborne avoided what would be a major upset in terms of NA CS.
Adam "Grizz" Golden and Danny "Cxzi" Strzelczyk were the catalysts behind the comeback, having combined for 101 frags across the series.
