Friday
Game 1 was as close as it can get. Start of the match was a duel against the sentinels. Looney went off against MacMill, but Macmill ultimately finished out on top. Player of the game definitely goes to VG Zen. He was able to rake up two 4ks and an ace. He also had 83% KAST, being able to get involved in most of the match. Also, shout out to Thanatos and SMA tread for the insane number of assists in the game. Both smokes players played great.
Game 2 was not as close as game 1. Rage was the player of the game, dominating the entire match. He did have a great team to rally behind as well. The match also had a ton of teamwork, with Meh, Mazora, and Kotuh with double digit assists. Let’s not forget about danyul, who tried to rally his team in end with 8 kills in the last 3 rounds of the match. Despite the loss, the losing team did have some notable moments, and some will definitely be picked up.
Saturday
The first match on Lotus in the PVA league starts out with a stomp on the defense side. UMBC Aku led the charge with a 10/2 K/D to start the first 7 rounds. Kota also a very good stat line, not dying until the 9th round. Onetwothings being the best he can be; flashing for teammates and racking up those assists. This is probably the first time we have ever seen 4 players having 93% KAST on the same team. Player of the game would have to be onetwothings. Yes, Aki had the most kills. But, onetwothings had a very memorable match, being the best setup player so far in these draft games. Brey also having a great game, despite the beatdown and being on a team already.
The second match of the day was much closer. Another match with a ton of teamwork, with 6 of the 10 players racking up double digit assists. The player of the game was tough to call. Despite greeeeeeeeenoguy having the most kills and highest ACS, UMBC Aku takes the spot for player of the game by a small sliver. Aku pulled 7 first kills, 14 assists, and an 81% KAST. He was showing up all over the map. Reflex was also had a great match, getting the most kills on the team. The rest of Aku’s team also had a great game to secure the win. As a team, they had managed to get 21 of the 26 first kills. Despite these stats, greeeeeeeeenoguy’s team had a great game with the comeback. They just need to individually stop getting picked off at the start of each round.
Sunday
Sunday’s game was probably the most competitive match this entire weekend. The match was very evenly matched, and all players played well (top frag had 27 kills and bottom frag had 16). The player of the game would have to go to Thakie. Almost top fragging on the Astra is insane, while having the most assists with 17. Yes, stats are blown up since it went into multiple overtime rounds. But, almost having the most kills, assists and first bloods deserves the player of the game. Zelq also had an amazing game, with 27 kills and clutching in final overtime rounds. Shout out to looking 4 catboy and bella ciao for having a fantastic match. Both had 23 and 24 kill and had great mechanics. Again, this was probably the best match of the weekend, so we can see all 10 players of this match get drafted.
