Let us cook upset fnatic in CCT North Europe Series 4

Paweł "⁠byali⁠" Bieliński put up strong performances on Vertigo and Mirage to help his team clinch the series.

Let us cook have eliminated fnatic from CCT North Europe Series 4 in the playoffs round of 16, coming out on top of a three-map series against William "⁠mezii⁠" Merriman's men in which the teams traded wins on their map picks before Janusz "⁠Snax⁠" Pogorzelski and company edged out victory on the Mirage decider, 16-14.

The Polish-Romanian combine started to use byali as a stand-in shortly after Mikkel "⁠Maze⁠" Sparvath took his leave from the lineup to trial for Sprout, but struggled to initially get things going with the Polish veteran in their CCT campaign.

byali mustered a 1.24 series rating to help Let us cook claim victory

Losses to VOYVODA and Sangal had Let us cook facing an early elimination in the Swiss group stage, and the team had to claw their way back by securing wins over Endpoint, Illuminar, and Viperio to make it to the playoffs.

fnatic, conversely, received an invite directly to the playoffs and were the highest-ranked team in attendance, but squandered their good position after proving unable to overcome Let us cook in their first match.

Although mezii's side secured victory on their own map pick of Nuke to kick off the series, it was only in narrow fashion, and the series score was immediately evened up on Vertigo as Let us cook claimed a decisive 16-6 victory to force a Mirage decider. There, the Polish-Romanian combine mustered an immense 12-3 T-side scoreline to put themselves on the brink of victory, but needed all 15 rounds of the second half to convert their lead and close things out, 16-14.
