Bad News Eagles qualified for PGL Major Antwerp 2022 "legends"

The Bad News Eagles team outplayed MIBR with a score of 2:1 and made it to the next stage of PGL Major Antwerp 2022. In turn, the Brazilian team was forced to leave the championship, finishing it with two wins and three losses.

The second confrontation of the fifth round started on the Nuke map, which became the choice of the Brazilian team. But if the first half went by a huge margin in favor of the Bad News Eagles, then after the change of sides, MIBR managed to return to the game. As a result, the Brazilian team made a comeback and took the lead in the series — 16:13.

Then the teams moved to the Ancient map, where the Kosovar team showed a convincing attack, securing a twofold advantage. After the switch of sides, the Bad News Eagles had no choice but to equalize the score in the series and go to the destroyer - 16:8.

Everything was decided on the Vertigo map, where Bad News Eagles, having started on defense, got a comfortable advantage before switching sides. It seemed that in the second half MIBR would quickly correct the situation and break the opponent. However, a quick attack allowed the Kosovar team to perform a miracle and reach the “legends” of PGL Major Antwerp 2022 — 16:10.
