BOOM top Road to Rio South American group, Isurus and Imperial to semis

ESL One: Road to Rio South America's group stage has concluded with BOOM coming out on top to seal passage to the grand final and Isurus and Imperial advancing to the semi-final.

The group stage saw RED Canids eliminated from the four-team tournament in last place with three losses after Renato "⁠nak⁠" Nakano's team were unable to convert close three-map series against BOOM and Isurus.

Having survived the opening encounter by a hair's breadth, BOOM went on to clinch straight-forward victories against Imperial and Isurus to book their spot in the grand final, looking like by far the best team with all five players finishing at the top of the rating board.
