Fifty frags in total.
That was what Altekz achieved in our recent 2-0 victory against Flames Ascent.
On January 11th, 2023, our Astralis Talent team initiated their European Pro League Season 5 adventure.
The $20,000 tournament began on January 9th and finishes on January 25th.
The Group stage consists of 16 teams divided into four groups, fighting in best-of-three matches. Playoffs are secured by reaching the top 2 in the group.
A Strong T-side
We started on the opponent's map pick, Mirage. Flames Ascent took the lead at halftime with a 6-9 score, but that quickly changed in the latter half.
After winning the pistol and claiming some rounds, we were tied 10-10.
Luckily, our returned player, MistR, and our fragging machine, Altekz, each gained 15 frags on the T-side, helping us claim the map 16-13.
The Return of MistR
Following a tight first map, we moved on to Vertigo, our map pick. With 23 frags and a 2.45 rating in the first half, MistR and co. finished the first half with a 13-2 score.
Despite losing the first two rounds, we won the remaining three and took the map 16-4.
Fifty frags later for Altekz, and we could call ourselves champions of the academy derby and gain our first three points in Group C.
