eUnited beat NTC for Americas Minor playoff spot

eUnited have secured a playoff spot at the Americas Minor with a 2-0 (16-4 on Train and 16-13 on Inferno) sweep over Não Tem Como in the deciding match.

The Group A decider match started on Train, Não Tem Como's pick, where the North American side of eUnited got off to a smooth 3-0 start on the T-side securing the pistol and the following anti-ecos. Finally breaking the streak, Não Tem Como topped the first gun round to claim their first of the half, but eUnited fired back with two in a row to make it 5-1.

With a tattered economy, Marcelo "⁠chelo⁠" Cespedes and his men managed to add one more on the board, but a relentless eUnited offense ran off with the half, winning six out of eight rounds, before a triple-kill from Vito "⁠kNgV-⁠" Giuseppe claimed Não Tem Como's fourth and last of the half, down 11-4.

In the second half, Não Tem Como could not find the edge to end eUnited's rein on the CT-side, with Michael "⁠dapr⁠" Gulino and Skyler "⁠Relyks⁠" Weaver putting in most of the work to win five straight, securing the 16-4 map victory and the series lead.

The series then landed on Inferno. eUnited got off to a flying 3-0 start on the T-side winning the pistol and the following anti-ecos, before a triple-kill from Lincoln "⁠fnx⁠" Lau earned Não Tem Como's first as CTs. The two sides then traded rounds back and forth, until Não Tem Como broke the North Americans' economy to win five in a row, but eUnited managed to squeeze out one more to settle the half by a single round deficit, 8-7.

The second half saw eUnited barely secure the CT pistol with dapr holding the defuse, which set up a great run for the North American side claiming five more to their lead (13-8). The Brazilians finally got on the board to earn their first and began chipping away at eUnited's lead with two more added (11-13).

A lopsided round granted eUnited their 14th of the half, but Não Tem Como weren't going down without a fight and tacked on two more to nearly tie the game at 14-13. With little economy, a huge flank from Will "⁠dazzLe⁠" Loafman on banana put eUnited at match point, where the North Americans then secured the final round of the half to take the 2-0 series victory.
