RESULTS: SetToDestroyX Dominate as They Control Week 3 Game 2 of the H1PL
By Ford James ·
They won the first game and then proved it wasn't a fluke as SetToDestroyX took home the bacon during week 3 of the H1 Pro League, surging past league leaders Epsilon and leaving them in the dust.
The first game of the night saw SetToDestroyX earn 20 points, taking the first place finish, while Vitality and Noble rounded out the top three with 17 and 16 points respectively. Going into the second game of the night, Cloud9 and Impact Gaming will want to have a better performance after not earning any kills whatsoever during the first game.
The first engagement in game two came between Tempo Storm and Alliance, as KandiVan took a few shots at long range. CrozzoveR from Obey Alliance took some shots at Team SoloMid as the rest of his squad followed suit, but they didn’t manage to pick up any kills.
Ten minutes in and not a single player had dropped, with squads getting closer and closer but nobody managing to earn any eliminations. Everything was setting up for some intense action towards the end of the game again, before Noble chased down Alliance but lost the first player of the game with Shurimawizard dying to MP. It was a back and forth fight as the two teams traded kills, leaving with two players apiece, before Cloud9 swooped in and killed another Alliance player.
Gabeismon was the last player standing for Noble and took some shots at Sycaz, the remaining member of Alliance, but the first team to be completely eliminated was Gankstars, meaning week three wasn’t their week as they failed to gain many kills in the first game either. As expected, both Noble and Alliance fell shortly after, with them picking up four and three kills respectively. Obey Alliance took an early lead with five kills after their early engagements, while SetToDestroyX gained some momentum and grabbed three quick kills on Cloud9. Epsilon went down with just two kills due to some cliffside fights with Impact Gaming and Counter Logic, while Tempo Storm managed to survive without picking up many kills.
Counter Logic and Echo Fox started to emerge as favourites for the round, with nine and seven kills respectively as the gas closed in on the remaining teams. That was short-lived however as Echo Fox went out with their seven kills, while SetToDestroyX were the healthiest squad left with four out of five members standing.
The final moments saw TSM vs Rogue vs LG all with one player left while STDx had three, making the game undoubtedly seem in their favour. They capitalised on the player advantage, eliminating the final player from Rogue, Ziki, taking the game with 11 kills and 24 points overall, which means they’ve earned an incredible 44 points during week three.
At the end of week three, SetToDestroyX have utterly flown to the top of the leaderboard overall with a breathtaking 75 points, while Epsilon have been pushed down to second, 26 points behind the leaders with 49 overall. Echo Fox and Rogue make up third and fourth with 47 and 44 respectively, while Counter Logic and Tempo Storm hold joint fifth with 40 point each.
