On Tuesday, we started our campaign in the European BLAST Paris Major 2023 RMR. Sadly, we were off to a rough start with two losses against Vitality and Eternal Fire, respectively. Our losses meant that it was necessary for us to win against Team Spirit on Wednesday to avoid elimination. Thankfully, we beat Team Spirit across three maps and set our score at 1-2. Here's the complete overview of Wednesday's match!

The first map, Mirage, was a combination of ups and downs. After winning the pistol round, we were caught off guard by Team Spirit, who took four rounds in a row. We managed to retaliate and grab four rounds ourselves, but our opponent then took the remaining first half rounds to set the score at 5-10. Once again, we were off to a great start at the beginning of the second half, but Team Spirit managed to secure the win and map with a score of 10-16.

Up next was Ancient, where we managed to take sweet revenge with a convincing 16-5 score! All the boys showed style with blameF and dev1ce standing out with ratings of 1.81 and 1.65, respectively! We showed great prowess on both our T side and CT side with scores of 11-4 and 5-1.

With the score now set at 1-1, the final and decisive map, Overpass, was up - and what a final map it was! After losing the pistol round on our CT side, we knew we had to fight back hard, and that's exactly what we did. Our CT side was nearly flawless, with the first half ending with a 12-3 score. The absolute highlight of the match was the outstanding performance by dev1ce. With 25 frags on our CT side alone, dev1ce ended the first half with a 2.78 rating!

Eventually, we secured a 16-10 win, which sets our overall score at 1-2 with our next game being played tomorrow! #tothestars
