Counter-Strike: e-STRO sees off mibr in WCG Day 1

By: Luis Mira - Published November 06, 2008 at 1:22 PM EST - Writer Archive
e-STRO defeated Made in Brazil on de_inferno 18-12 to secure leadership of Group C.
It was the Korean team, playing as CT, who started the brighter as it stormed to a 3-0 lead.

Made in Brazil would then take its first round of the match, making it 3-1, but e-STRO did not have to wait long to get back into the game and it even cruised to an early six-round lead over the Brazilians.

e-STRO looked really strong as CT, and Jinhee "hee" Park was proving to be one strong headache for mibr's men.

Made in Brazil would have to wait until the 13th round to finally stop e-STRO's rampage, having gone to overtime with 10-5 on the scoreboard in favour of the Asian side.

In the second-half, mibr proved too strong for e-STRO in the pistol round but the Korean team was quickly able to take control of the situation, winning an eco round.

e-STRO went on to win five rounds in a row, making it 15-6, and things looked pretty dark for mibr at this time.

Made in Brazil then found a lifeline when it engaged on a three-round streak but it was just too little, too late. e-STRO would claim the next round to win the match 16-9.

The remaining rounds would bring more of the same and e-STRO would win the match 18-12 to move up to first in the standings' table.
