NA VCT Stage 2 Challengers: The Guard vs 100 Thieves
This was an extremely hyped match given that The Guard had probably caused 100 Thieves meltdown in NA VCT Stage 1. They won the series 2-0 and also 13-0’d 100 Thieves on Ascent. 100 Thieves were seeking revenge.
Map 1: Fracture
100 Thieves absolutely proved their map pick as they went on to win the first 8 rounds on the back Asuna’s Raze. Soon, The Guard won a couple of rounds but 100T ended up winning the map 13-5. 100 Thieves looked really well coordinated and seemed one step ahead of The Guard. TGRD Net had one of his worst games ending up with a 3/15 KD.

Map 2: Bind
The Guard’s map pick, Bind looked like a good start for them. They finished with 6 rounds in the first half of the map. Things looked even until 100 Thieves switched onto attack. They went onto win all their rounds on attack and won the map 13-6 and series 2-0. Stellar fragged out for 100 Thieves on Viper.
