HGC Copa América Champions from both North and South Regions Revealed

With the weekend’s games finished, we now know which two teams will be battling it out in the finals of the HGC Copa América for the grand prize and a spot in the Intercontinental Clash later in the year. Here are the two teams that rose to the top of the pile, winning their respective regions.

North Region

Claiming the North Region title is Fratres. Cruising through most of the group stage, Fratres didn’t run into any real competition until they reached day 5, claiming each of their other matches with easy 2-0 victories. Their only stumbling point was against 6Sense, who they lost to in a close 2-1 series. Despite this loss, Fratres was still the number two team in the group, earning them a spot in the playoff round against non-other than 6Sense once again. Their match here went much better, cleaning the table as they claimed victory on the maps Battlefield of Eternity, Cursed Hollow, Infernal Shrines, and Towers of Doom, to earn a nice 4-0 sweep and a spot in the season finals.

South Region

Claiming the South Region title is Encore e-Sports. Just like Fratres, Encore didn’t really seem to struggle in the group stage as they claimed their first four matches as clean 2-0 sets. They hit the wall when they faced Bring It On however, falling 2-0 themselves in the end. Their record was still enough to secure them a spot in the playoffs, where they would once again face Bring It On in a much closer battle. The rematch series saw Encore take an early lead, claiming the maps Towers of Doom, Tomb of the Spider Queen, and Sky Temple in rapid succession. Bring It On fought back however, claiming Volskaya Foundry and Braxis Holdout to keep their hopes alive, however Encore picked up the next map, Cursed Hollow, to claim the series win.

Fratres and 6Sense will battle it out to claim the title as champions of HGC Copa América Phase 1, taking the cash prize as well as earning a spot at the Intercontinental Clash, where they will face the winner of the ANZ Live Finals.
