Spaniards out, dig & Vexed lose at ESL

The two biggest underdogs have been disposed of at ESL Barcelona Invitational, as x6tence and gBots have lost their last life. Meanwhile, Vexed are sitting at one life left and dignitas suffered their first defeat at the hands of a newly-formed coalition.

A new alliance consisting of fnatic, Envy, G2 and seemingly Vexed has taken over the second day of ESL Barcelona Invitational after yesterday's dominion of the Danes.

x6tence were picked apart in the first match of the day by G2, who had no trouble taking de_train following a 16-3 scoreline to take one of the Spaniards out.

The other Spanish team, gBots, was chosen to face off against Envy in the second match, but that time David "⁠Kairi⁠" de Miguel and company couldn't make it as close as in their previous matches with dignitas and fnatic.

Envy powered to a 11-4 scoreline as Terrorists on de_mirage. On the back of Dan "⁠apEX⁠" Madesclaire's pistol-round brilliance the Frenchmen sent gBots packing with five in a row in the second half.

Envy then passed the ball back to their comrades from G2, who took another life from the Polish squad to keep control of the match-ups for as long as possible.

The two battled it out on de_overpass, where Kévin "⁠Ex6TenZ⁠" Droolans repeated his performance from Game Show Global eSports Cup. The Belgian in-game leader brought the best of him and ended up with a 31-15 scoreline (1.71 rating) in a 16-9 victory over Vexed.

Olof "⁠olofmeister⁠" Kajbjer kickstarted fnatic's match against Dignitas with an impressive quad-kill in a 2-on-4, which also included a 1-on-1 at the end. fnatic stormed to a 6-0 lead before Dignitas picked up the pace and took seven of the following nine rounds to make it a solid 7-8 half as Terrorists.

fnatic didn't get a say until it was 13-8 in Dignitas's favour, however it didn't seem to be quite enough as dignitas made it to match point at 15-9. A poor forcebuy fired the Swedish squad up, and dignitas failed to overturn a number of clutch situations and fnatic took the game to overtime.

It came down to the wire even there, as despite initial struggles Dignitas took it to the last round possible, where fnatic won another key clutch to come out victorious at 19-17.
