Legacy Defeats DENDELE, Advances to 1-1 Bracket

Legacy advanced to the 1-1 bracket at PGL Masters Bucharest after beating DENDELE, a rival from the same country, in a two-map series. The team won Cache 13-9 and Mirage 19-17, and took all four pistol rounds in the series.

Legacy had a rough start to the tournament. They lost 23-25 on Ancient to Nemiga, then fell 8-13 on Dust2, dropping to the 0-1 bracket. The match against DENDELE therefore carried the risk of an early elimination.

Santino "try" Rigal was the player who decided the series. On Cache, during a six-round winning streak in the first half, the Argentine rifler recorded eight multikills and closed the half with a 20-5 K/D. Eduardo "dumau" Wolkmer's 14-6 first half also contributed to this advantage.

On Mirage, DENDELE disrupted their opponent's preparation and led 7-5 at the half. However, in the tie-breaking round sequence that went to overtime, try and Andrei "arT" Piovezan were decisive. In the map's two overtimes, try's critical 2-4 closed the map for Legacy, giving them a 19-17 win.
