in a fast-paced elimination match, knocking the Japanese representatives out of the tournament in fifth place and advancing to the lower final.
Haven featured a rare compositional matchup as both teams played Phoenix, Yoru, and Chamber, with the only difference being that SSeeS was Astra while f0rsakeN was on Omen. DFM won the first pistol, but PRX overwhelmed them with classic PRX aggression, speed, and individual duels to take an 8-4 lead in the half.
The second half was close thanks to a second pistol round going to DFM, but f0rsakeN found a 4K at 11-11 to secure the 13-11 win for his team. something top-fragged on Yoru with 24 kills and 207 ADR.
f0rsakeN comes alive in a map-deciding round.Split was an exact compositional mirror as both teams fielded Raze-Yoru lineups. The map began with d4v41 singlehandedly winning PRX the bonus round to go up 3-0.
d4v41 cleans up the B site on his own.From there, DFM had no hope of overcoming PRX's defenses. Every member of PRX mowed down DFM when needed, ranging from another clean 3K for d4v41 in round six to an impossible 1v2 retake from something, who had an Operator against a Viper's Pit, in round 11. A 10-2 half ended in an unceremonious 13-2. d4v41 and f0rsakeN both came away with outrageous statlines, putting up 17 and 18 kills respectively.
PRX are now one win away from completing the lower bracket run. They await the loser of T1 versus Rex Regum Qeon for the lower final tomorrow, February 15, with the last Pacific slot at Masters Santiago on the line.
