In the third game, SRG started strong, taking an early lead in kills. Surprised by SRG’s performance, CFU Gaming fought back and nearly secured victory.
SRG’s experience proved to be the key to victory as they rallied to win 13-7 in 15 minutes.
This victory allowed SRG to advance to the knockout stage along with another Malaysian team, Team Vamos, who defeated North American side BloodThirstyKings 2-0 earlier in the day.
