Isurus win WCA South America Finals

9-10-2017 11:55

Isurus Gaming will attend the World Cyber Arena (WCA) 2017 Finals after beating INTZ 2-1 in the grand final of the South American qualifier.

Eight South American teams, four invited and four qualified, competed in a single-elimination, best-of-three bracket for the lion's share of a $19,000 prize pool and the chance to represent the region at the WCA Finals, later this year, in China.

The first round featured two nail-biting matches, as Isurus required three maps to defeat a Merciless team who had just lost Ricardo "⁠s1⁠" Shinji, while INTZ came from behind to beat fellow Brazilian side ProGaming 2-1.

In the semi-finals, Isurus pulled off a stunning upset as they defeated TeamOne, who had recently attended the ESEA Global Challenge, on three maps, with Nicolas "⁠NikoM⁠" Miozzi and Nicolás "⁠Noktse⁠" Dávila both racking up over 70 frags. In the other semi-final, INTZ defeated Hafnet after just two maps, with the first one going to double overtime.

Isurus entered the grand final with fire in their belly, taking the lead in the series with a quick 16-4 win on Inferno. The second map, Overpass, was just as lopsided, as INTZ ran out 16-6 winners. It all came down to Nuke, where, after a keenly-contested first-half that ended with an 8-7 scoreline, the Argentinian team took control of proceedings and locked down the map with a flawless second half.

Do you think that a Colombian or a team from Perú would beat ISG or T1 ? Let be honest, would be a waste of time.

MF is better than Isurus, atm?

2017-10-09 16:17

Maybe, maybe not. MF is playing really well . Last week they played against ghost gaming and mythic (it was a practice) and they won both games,and ISG is winning every match they played..

2017-10-09 16:38

Nice. I´ll watch some matches of them. And about GF? Above the both?

2017-10-09 16:47

4-0 at esea premier :) and mf 4-0 at open

2017-10-09 17:14

I think that what we should be most excited about, is the chance for argentinian teams to shuffle their players in the future, with a lot more of them already getting experience in the competitive circuit.

2017-10-09 19:04

2017-10-09 18:15

Are you sure?

2017-10-09 15:26

So hafnet is better but they couldn't win against intz.. Isurus won against top1 top2 top3 brazil ( t1 , merciless gaming and furia - not in this qualifier but at gc pro league. - ) I think that isg is top1 sa atm

2017-10-09 15:49

The new 3 players of Hafnet have the level of the old roster , Everything Hafnet needs is more practice and experience , klauss and Rochet played in the old reak, in fact if you go back to watch the games of hafnet yesterday , you will notice which they lost only by their own mistakes (especially in Cache)

2017-10-09 19:07

I dont agree with that, fireman and linkz are completely in a different level

2017-10-09 21:11

-Hafnet -Best team ---> Pick one.

2017-10-09 16:07

isg is way better than both old and new hafnet's line up isg>t1>>>>>>>>>hafnet
