4AM Crew Take an Early Lead Vs. Sons of Sam
last year - 4/25/2023 10:06 PM GMT-3
The underdogs took Sons of Sam to their map pick of Nuke, where Sons of Sam elected to start on the defense, where they have looked scary all season.
In opening pistol 4AM Crew looked to set the pace, getting the bomb down with 5 men alive against just one Sons of Sam player. The player, however, was GobliN, known for his clutching ability. GobliN would win the 1v5 and set his team up for a solid match start, but the first half was close, with rounds constantly getting traded. In the end the half ended 8-7 in favor of Sons of Sam, a far cry from their usual CT-sides. 4AM Crew would once again make a statement on the pistol, this time not losing the 1v5. Sons of Sam fired back immediately, winning the force buy and the conversion, but would fall, for the second time in the match, to a full eco from 4AM Crew. In spite of this, the German team would get up 14-10, and looked to put the match away, when star awper HX got a 3-K to win his team their 11th round. This would lead not only to a string of great rounds from the 18 year old star, but a string of great rounds from the whole team.
At 13-14 4AM Crew got into an advantageous situation, leaving GobliN alive in a 1v4. While the clutch machine was close, there was no cigar, as the final CT Shadow managed to take him down and defuse the bomb, which he had no right being allowed to plant in the first place.
The final two rounds in the match saw Sons of Sam attempt to execute onto the A-site, but both times Shadow went big to shut them out.
4AM Crew now lead the series 1-0, and will take on Sons of Sam on the German org's own map pick of Inferno tomorrow.
