Passion UA keep Major hopes alive

Passion UA upset Eternal Fire at DraculaN

An important win to keep their Major hopes alive.

In their opening match at DraculaN Season 6, Cologne hopefuls Passion UA took down #52-ranked Eternal Fire in a three-map series. After tumbling out of BC Game Masters, this was a much-needed win (and much-needed 36 VRS points) for the NA team.

Mirage was a battle of the T sides, with Eternal Fire taking 10 rounds on their initial attack, and Passion UA's offense responding with seven of their own. Eternal Fire eventually stabilized for a 13-9 win on their map pick.

Passion UA's pick of Inferno went back-and-forth, seeing both teams put together multi-round streaks to end the half 7-5 in favor of Eternal Fire. However, Passion UA's T side again proved formidable, as they evened the series with a 13-8 victory.

The first half of Anubis had Passion UA winning two rounds at a time, while Eternal Fire were limited to one-offs. Yet again, Passion UA's T side provided them a dominant lead in the second half and 13-9 victory. Azbayar "Senzu" Munkhbold finished the series with a team-high 53 frags and 1.37 rating, and each of Passion UA's players ended up with ratings of 1.28 or higher on the T side.
