RESULTS: Noble Survive but SetToDestroyX earn the most points in H1PL W3 G1

Week Two of the H1 Pro League saw Luminosity hit their stride after not getting any kills at all during the first week, and Epsilon slowed down after their dominant first week performance, but they still sit at the top of the table with 39 points. If you missed out on the action during last week, check out our summary of Tempo Storm’s victory in game one, followed by Luminosity’s impressive win in the second game. As it stands, Tempo Storm are in second place with 33 points, with Rogue hot on their heels with 32, and Gankstars and SetToDestroyX round off the top five with 31 points apiece. Week two will separate the men from the boys, as any team could propel themselves to the top of the league; even Obey Alliance who are bottom with just 7 points, as long as they manage to impress.

During the pre-game show, the MVP from last week was announced, and it went to Tanner ‘Rogue’ Trebb from Luminosity after his incredible clutch toward the end of the second game that brought home the victory for his team. In an interview with host Kristine Leahy, Trebb said that it was “rough at the start” due to their poor performance in week one, and he said the team found it “tough to overcome the depression of it.” He went on to explain that Luminosity practice at the arena in Las Vegas three days a week and during those days they “go hard and fix mistakes.”

As the first game got underway, teams were faced with a northern safe zone, with teams like Epsilon and Vitality preparing for a journey across most of the map. SetToDestroyX led the first major engagement of the game in their true aggressive style, before swiftly fleeing again and finding a location to set up for the early game. Alliance were the ones to get the first kill on the board though, with Shades earning their first point.

 

SiigN from Luminosity got separated from his team early on, pinned down in a caravan as he waited for his squadmates to figure out a path to rescue him. SetToDestroyX once again got caught in a fight with Epsilon, as ProdigyAces picked up one kill while the circle closed in. Epsilon struggled to make any waves like in the first week, as they ended up down to just three players very early on.

As the action picked up, Cloud9 were caught in turmoil as all five members swiftly dropped to Obey, Luminosity, and Alliance. Luminosity and Alliance couldn’t maintain their kills though as they were eliminated shortly after, while Counter Logic Gaming didn’t do much during game one either, going out with only one kill. Riki from Rogue danced around the players from Noble, ducking and dodging between rooms before dying to the hands of Shurimawizard, as the final stages of the game started to see some intense action.

 

Obey Alliance showed they shouldn’t be underestimated, earning an impressive 10 kills before they were killed, while Sloth from Echo Fox had just a sliver of health but managed to evade all incoming shots, rolling around in the grass. Entering the final few moments had SetToDestroyX, Noble and Vitality as the three remaining teams, before Vitality were taken out. Noble showcased their skill, managing to take out SetToDestroyX and winning the first game with kills in the double digits.

The win wasn’t quite enough though, as SetToDestroyX won on points overall, with 20. Vitality followed with 17, before Noble’s 16 cemented their bronze medal for the first game of week three. Obey Alliance earned an impressive 13 points which propelled them off the bottom of the table.
