story had a great performance on Ancient
The story on the Ancient map belongs to SAW's AWPer, who played a key role in the 2-0 win over Monte in the ESL Challenger Katowice semi-finals.
João "story" Vieira posted a rating of 1.48 with 22 kills — including 10 with a large sniper rifle — and provided great support to the team along with Michel "ewjerkz" Pinto, who had a rating of 1.41 with 21 kills.
The key phase took place in round 21, when story overcame a 1vs2 situation after successfully placing a bomb, triggering a four-round winning streak that brought SAW to the final victory with a score of 13-11.
Starting the Nuke map on the offensive side, SAW excelled, taking six rounds before switching to the favorite CT side. After winning the pistol round, the Portuguese team quickly took a 10-6 lead.
Monte did not accept defeat easily and pushed the map match to the limit by reaching map point, even though SAW equalized the score in the final round of regular time to extend the match to extra time. Christopher "MUTiRiS" Fernandes and Ricardo "roman" Oliveira had an impressive moment in overtime, winning a crucial 2vs4 to keep the match alive and force a second overtime. In the end, they won with a score of 19-17.
SAW continue to build confidence ahead of the RMR tournament and are now just one win away from lifting the trophy in Katowice, where they will face the winner of the paiN vs. B8 to compete for the championship.
