EnVyUs take down Renegades and advance to DH Atlanta final

EnVyUs have secured their place in the grand final at DreamHack Open Atlanta 2017 after beating Renegades 2-1 in the semi-finals (14-16 on Cache, 16-11 on Train, and 16-8 on Cobblestone).

Renegades and Envy sqaured off in a best-of-three series in the semi-finals at DreamHack Open Atlanta 2017. The first map was Cache which was picked by Renegades. Envy had a strong start on the T-side and won the first five rounds in the map while giving up only seven kills to Renegades.

Aaron "⁠AZR⁠" Ward stepped it up in the sixth round with a quad kill but Envy struck back two rounds later and went on to lead 9-2. The Australian team salvaged the half by getting four more rounds to trail 6-9 at halftime.

nV will play Heroic in the grand final

Cédric "⁠RpK⁠" Guipouy kicked off the second half with a triple kill in the pistol round (10-6). After a back-and-forth affair, Envy led 14-12 but failed to close out the game and Renegades took the last four rounds to complete the comeback.

Just like on Cache, Envy started their T-side with five consecutive round wins but Renegades salvaged the situation with two defuses and went on to lead 8-7 at halftime. Envy stepped up their game on the CT-side and won the map 16-11 to take the series to the third map.

Renegades make their exit

The last map was Cobblestone where the CT-sided Envy won the pistol round with Vincent "⁠Happy⁠" Schopenhauer's double kill. Renegades picked up the third round thanks to their early weapon purchase but they could only string two rounds together (2-2). Happy's dominant AWPing haunted the Australian team in the first half as Envy won it 11-4.

Envy lost the second half pistol round but the pistols reigned for the Frenchmen in the following round. Happy's team won the map 16-8 and moved onto the grand final where they will face Heroic.
