Akimbo claim final spot in Dust2.us Eagle Masters Series #5!

This weekend saw Akimbo claim the final spot in the Dust2.us Eagle Masters Series #5 after topping the fourth Open Qualifier over the likes of SportsBetExpert (with two stand-ins) and Reign Above. With Akimbo topping the stack last weekend we are ready to start the Dust2.us Eagle Master Series #5, our final event of 2025, tonight!

Akimbo's run to the grand finals began with the team receiving a bye in the first round before taking on Full House in the quarterfinals. This ended up being a fairly painless victory for the Akimbo squad as they claimed a 13-7 win on Mirage to set up a confrontation with SportsBetExpert. As previously mentioned, SBE were playing with two subs due to roster troubles, which led to a somewhat underwhelming showing from the team, allowing Akimbo to secure a quick and easy 13-5 win on Dust2.us.

With two wins in hand, they met Reign Above in the finals. The opening map in the series, Dust2, saw Akimbo take a 7-5 lead on their T-side before a near-perfect CT-side allowed them to take the map 13-7.

Moving onto Train things were far more competitive as a rally from Reign Above forced the map into overtime. There the first overtime was indecisive before a leading performance from Tripp Crowley helped Akimbo pull ahead and take the map 19-17, thus avoiding another OT or another map.
