ENCE, Windigo ease past ex-Space Soldiers, North

ENCE and Windigo have booked spots in Group B's winners' match at the Europe Minor after defeating ex-Space Soldiers and North, respectively, by 16-6 scorelines.

ENCE began their match against ex-Space Soldiers on the right foot, storming to a 5-1 lead as Terrorists. The Turkish side tightened up their defense and eventually brought the deficit to a single round, but then Jere "sergej" Salo's 1v2 clutch marked the beginning of a four-round streak from the Finnish squad.

Aleksi "Aleksib" Virolainen's troops carried that momentum into the second half and further increased their lead after winning the pistol round and an anti-eco. ex-Space Soldiers still picked up the first gun round on the back of two entry-kills from Yaman "yam" Ergenekon, but ENCE regained control of proceedings right away and quickly put the game to bed.

The match between North and Windigo was played on Overpass, where the Danes secured a 2-0 lead after winning a chaotic CT pistol. The Bulgarians responded in convincing fashion, however, constantly shutting down the Danish defence to go up 6-2.

The Bulgarian side continued to run over the uninspired North, who were kept off any economic development, but a late response from the Danish side saw them bring the deficit to just three rounds before the break.

Valentin "poizon" Vasilev opened up the action in the second half with a triple-kill to help his team win their CT pistol. That was the start of a dominant period from the Bulgarian side, who won seven rounds straight on the CT side en route to a 16-6 finish.
