Vitality Sweep Gambit For A Semi-finals Spot At EPL

Vitality seem to improve after every match as they book a ticket to the semifinals of ESL Pro League Season 14 after a 2-0 sweep of Gambit and maintaining their perfect record against the CIS squad.

“Overall I feel like we played good today,” said Dan “⁠apEX⁠” Madesclaire in regards to his team’s performance in the series. “We know Gambit very well because we practice them a lot.” When talking about their tight victory on Vertigo, he stated there was not a doubt they could come out on top. “We knew we were always going to be in.”

Now the French squad set their sights on the semi-finals, where they will face OG on Saturday.

ZywOo made his presence known on inferno ending the map with 33-15

The series was kickstarted on Inferno, Vitality‘s map pick. The Frenchmen set the early tempo, taking the pistol round and continuing to dominate their T side, leading to an 8-3 advantage that seemed to seal the half. However, a resilient Gambit managed to string together four rounds in a row to close the gap 7-8 despite a vintage performance by Mathieu “⁠ZywOo⁠” Herbaut throughout the half.

The CIS squad was unable to carry their momentum to the second half, and Vitality took their second pistol round of the map and from then it was plain sailing to a 14-7 lead. A short-lived Gambit resurgence saw them briefly come back in the game, but a Kévin “⁠misutaaa⁠” Rabier 1v2 clutch sealed Inferno for his team 16-11.
